Non Windows Program Manager users (such as Norton DeskTop) must modify WrapUp's command line with the /Pxxxx option so that WrapUp can correctly access the contents of the shutdown group. In order to do this, you must issue this command to see a list of desktop programs and their module names. Identify the name of your program manger program and its module. This module must be entered on WrapUp's command line as a /P option. For example, Program Manager's module name is PROGMAN.

This command is also useful for determining the module name of a program that you want WrapUp to not terminate before it executes all of the programs in your ShutDown group.

See /x (Exclude) Command Line option  for more information.


File Exit command

/i (Invisible) Command Line option

By adding the /i to the end of WrapUp's command line, you will force WrapUp's minimized icon to be invisible. This is useful if you don't want to see its icon on your desktop because you might find it distracting. Without the /i option, WrapUp displays its standard icon when minimized. The /i option is often used when the program is automatically run as a minimized application from within your StartUp group.

Under Program Manager', WrapUp's property box contains the description, command line, working directory, short-cut key, and run-minimized options for WrapUp.

A typical command line might be:   c:\WrapUp.exe  /xPRINTMAN  /i

This command with avoid shutting down Print Manager and will have an invisible icon when minimized.


/x (eXclude) Command Line option

By default, right before Windows exits, WrapUp will terminate all of the executing programs on your desktop. Then it will execute the programs in your ShutDown group.  If you would like to leave certain programs executing, either because they must be kept executing (like Windows' Print Manager), or they are poorly written and don't terminate properly under WrapUp's control, you can tell WrapUp to exclude this program from its termination process. To do this, you must append the module name of the program that you wish to leave running after a /x option on WrapUp's command line. There may be any number of /x arguments on the command line.

For example, if you would like WrapUp to leave both Print Manager and Clock executing before it executes the programs in your ShutDown group, you would have a command line with the following /x arguments:

WrapUp.exe  /xPRINTMAN  /xCLOCK

The module name of each program that you want to leave running may be determined by executing the program that you are interest in leaving running (like Print Manager) and then running WrapUp and run the File Modules command. Look for the name of your program (Print Manager) and write down the module name. This module name (PRINTMAN) will appear after a /x argument (e.g. /xPRINTMAN).


Installation and removal instructions
Installation, operation and removal instructions

To install under Windows 95:

Copy the following files to any single area of your PC's disk:

WrapUp.exe

WrapUp.hlp

WrapUp32.dll

A typical destination might be:  C:\TNT\WRAPUP

Start Windows 95.

Open your 'StartUp' folder from the Start-Programs menu. If you don't have a StartUp folder, create one... Then create a new icon for WrapUp so that it will automatically execute whenever Windows 95 is executed. Don't run it yet...

Decide on the name for your new folder that WrapUp will access when Windows starts to exit. We recommend the name 'ShutDown'. If you want any name other than 'ShutDown', you must use the /g command line option. See /g (alternative Group name) command line option for more information.

Create your new shutdown folder. The folder must directly reside off of the Start-Programs folder/menu (for example, the same menu that the Accessories folder resides in). Do not create a folder directly on your Desktop. This wont work! You can, however, create a short-cut on your Desktop that points to the Programs folder/menu.

Move or copy your favorite programs icons into your new shutdown folder.

To install under Windows NT or Windows 3.1:

Copy the following files to any single area of your PC's disk:

WrapUp.exe

WrapUp.hlp

WrapUp32.dll

A typical destination might be:  C:\TNT\WRAPUP

Start Windows in either 'Standard' or 'Enhanced' mode. WrapUp  can not run in 'Real' mode.

Open your 'StartUp' group. Create a new icon for WrapUp so that it will automatically execute whenever Windows is executed. Don't  run it yet...

Decide on the name for your new group that WrapUp will access when Windows starts to exit. We recommend the name 'ShutDown'. If you want any name other than 'ShutDown', you must use the /g command line option. See /g (alternative Group name) command line option for more information.

Create your new shutdown group.

Move or copy your favorite programss icons into your new shutdown group.

To operate under Windows 95:

Restart Windows 95.

Observe that WrapUp is running.

Shut down Windows 95 by selecting Start-Shut Down-Shut Down the computer?. WrapUp will then wake up, and ask you via a dialog box, if you want to close all of your currently running desktop programs, and then it will execute all of the programs in your shutdown group. Saying YES will do the above. Saying NO, will simply exit Windows 95. Saying CANCEL, will abort the exiting of Windows 95. You may override the default operation of WrapUp so that it won't present you with the above dialog box by appending a /N to the command line. In this mode, upon detecting Windows 95 starting to shutdown, WrapUp will automatically close your desktop programs and then execute all of your shutdown group programs.

When you are finally ready to exit Windows 95, shut down Windows. This time, WrapUp will not intervene (since it already executed your shutdown programs) and you will truly exit Windows 95.

To operate under Windows NT or Windows 3.1:

Restart Windows.

Observe that WrapUp is running.

Exit Windows. You will get the familiar Windows "Are you sure you want to close" dialog box. Say YES. WrapUp will then wake up, and ask you via a dialog box, if you want to close all of your currently running desktop programs, and then it will execute all of the programs in your shutdown group. Saying YES will do the above. Saying NO, will simply exit Windows. Saying CANCEL, will abort the exiting of Windows. You may override the default operation of WrapUp so that it won't present you with the above dialog box by appending a /N to the command line. In this mode, upon detecting Windows starting to exit, WrapUp will automatically close your desktop programs and then execute all of your shutdown group programs.

When you are finally ready to exit Windows, exit Windows. This time, WrapUp will not intervene (since it already executed your shutdown programs) and you will truly exit Windows.

To uninstall:

Delete WrapUp.exe WrapUp.hlp, and WrapUp32.dll from your disk.


Theory of Operation

Upon detecting Windows starting to exit, WrapUp closes all of your desktop programs so that after it then executes the programs in our shutdown group, it will be easy to determine which programs

you need to deal with. They're the only programs left executing on our desktop.

When you try to exit Windows, you'll get the familiar Windows "Are you sure you want to close" dialog box. Say YES. WrapUp will then wake up, and ask you via a dialog box, (or it won't ask you if you've run WrapUp with the /N command line option) if you want to close all of your currently running desktop programs, and then it will execute all of the programs in your shutdown group. Saying YES will do the above. Saying NO, will simply exit Windows. Saying CANCEL, will abort the exiting of Windows. After you have interacted with the programs from your ShutDown group that are now executing, and when you are finally ready to exit Windows, exit Windows. This time, WrapUp will not intervene (since it already executed your shutdown programs) and you will truly exit Windows.

LAN administrators can easily manage WrapUp by simply insuring that he proper shutdown group (GRP) file is present for proper operation. If the user is already running Windows in a LAN environment, then the proper group files are already present and no extra effort will be required. Please remember that one copy of WrapUp must be purchased for each and every user of WrapUp.

You can control the execution order of both your StartUp and ShutDown group's programs by modifying their GRP files. TNT's Grp2Ini program can make it easy for you to do this.

WrapUp memorizes the contents of your shutdown group when you first run WrapUp. If you modify your shutdown group's contents while WrapUp is running, then WrapUp will not detect these changes. In this case, you'll need to terminate WrapUp and then re-execute it so that it will re-examine the new contents of your shutdown group. This WrapUp behavior is due to limitations in Windows.


/g (alternative Group name) command line option

If you want any name other than 'ShutDown' for your ShutDown group, you must use the /g command line option and so must tell WrapUp the name of your group by appending to WrapUp's command line, (open WrapUp's Program Properties dialog box by pressing Alt-Enter when WrapUp's icon is highlighted) the name of the shutdown group after the /g option. For example, if you want your shutdown group to be called "My Shut Group", WrapUp's command line would be:

WrapUp.exe  /g"My Shut Group"

The quotes are only required when there are spaces in your group name. The group name is not case sensitive.


/p (alternative Program Manager) command line option

Non Windows Program Manager users (such as Norton DeskTop, PCTools MultiDesk DeskTop, and Windows NT) must modify WrapUp's command line with the /Pxxxx option so that WrapUp can correctly access the contents of the shutdown group. In order to do this, you must issue a WrapUp File Modules command  pull-down menu command to see a list of desktop programs and their module names. Identify the name of your program manger program and its module. This module must be entered on WrapUp's command line as a /P option. For example, Windows 3.1's Program Manager's module name is 'PROGMAN'. Windows 95's Explorer's (Program Manager's) module name is 'Explorer'. Below is a list of known alternative program managers and their associated /P option.

Windows NT:	/PWOWEXEC

PCTools MultiDesk:	/PWNDTLIB

HP DashBoard	/PDASH


/n (don't ask to shut programs -just do it!) command line option

When you try to exit Windows, you'll get the familiar Windows "Are you sure you want to close" dialog box. After you say YES, WrapUp will then wake up, and ask you via a dialog box if you want to close all of your currently running desktop programs, and then it will execute all of the programs in your shutdown group. If you want WrapUp to automatically close all of your running desktop programs, append a /N option to your command line.

For example:   WrapUp.exe  /n


/s (don't shut programs before spawning) command line option

Normally WrapUp upon detecting that the user has told Windows to terminate, will terminate all currently running desktop programs before it executes any programs in the ShutDown group. You may use the /S option to tell WrapUp to not terminate the desktop programs. It will then only execute the ShutDown group's programs.

For example:   WrapUp.exe  /s


Supported Windows operating systems

WrapUp is completely and automatically compatible with Windows 95, NT, 3.1 and Windows for Work Groups.


/m (Monitor ShutDown programs for termination) command line option

By including either the /Me or the /Mr command line option, upon executing each of your ShutDown group programs, WrapUp will monitor these applications for termination. Once they have all terminated, WrapUp will exit Windows (if you used the /Me option) or restart Windows (if you used the /Mr option).

These monitoring options are useful for users that have a program in their ShutDown group that automatically performs a function and then terminates. An example would be a program that logs the user off of his/her network and then terminates, or performs a backup of the users data and then terminates. Then WrapUp would detect the termination of all of the ShutDown applications (in this case a single application) and then it would exit or restart Windows.

For example, to exit Windows when all ShutDown applications have terminated:

WrapUp.exe  /Me

For example, to restart Windows when all ShutDown applications have terminated:

WrapUp.exe  /Mr
