!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This new version has a lot of additional features (over 1.x)
for customizing the screen blanker.
******************************* IMPORTANT *********************************
The About box will give you information on how to register this program for
$5 and get the password to eliminate the About Box screen each time the
program is run.
Source code on disk is also available for a small fee of $25 (which includes
the registration fee).
Site/Network licenses are available for $100.00.
****************************************************************************
In the Operations menu, under the Time Delay menu item, you can
set a delay from .10 to 10.00 minutes. The default is 4 minutes.
After you set the delay, minimize the Screen Blanker and your screen
will blank after the specifed time of keyboard and mouse inactivity.
After the specified time of inactivity, the program appears. Pressing any key
or mouse button will minimize the program causing it to wait again for
inactivity.
Selecting the Run menu item will run the progam just as if it had timed out.
Passwords can be set so that when a key or mouse button is pressed during
the running of the screen blanker, the user must type in a password in order
for the screen blanker to minimize. If the user types in the wrong password
a notification dialog box appears and the screen blanker continues running.
The Password menu item allows you to set your own password and enable
password checking. Initially, your password is blank or empty. Passwords
are scrambled and placed in your win.ini file. If you ever forget your
password, you will have to reboot your computer, edit your win.ini file, and
delete the line "password=xxxx" under the heading "[Harry's Screen Blanker]".
The Options menu item allows you to configure the "look" of your screen
blanker. Number of lines can be set between 1 and 1000.
To set the color order, select a color to change from the list box,
then press the button corresponding to the new color desired.
The RANDOM Blanker Type causes the screen blanker to randomly choose one of
the other blanker types each time it is run.
Other parameters should be experimented with for a wide variety of effects.
****************************************************************************
To have this program load automatically when you run Windows, add the
following statement to your WIN.INI file:
load=hscrblnk.exe
or if you already have a program loading:
load=other.exe,hscrblnk.exe
The win.ini file will be located in your Windows directory
(usually c:\windows). Use any text editor to edit it.
Make sure the hscrlib.dll file is in the same directory as hscrblnk.exe.
hscrlib.dll is a dynamic link library that is required to poll all system
keyboard and mouse messages.
