Win95 Software SuperMenu version 2.1 --------------------- Short description ----------------- SuperMenu. Popup access to the Win95 StartMenu. SuperMenu is a poupup-menu which makes it possible to select the Win95 StartMenu button from wherever the hand is at the moment when clicking the right mouse-button (alternate mouse-button). Installation ------------ Download/copy/place SuperMenu files (look further down) to wherever you like. All the files must stay in the same directory. Works right away. No extra installation needed. Suggested storing directory: c:\suprmenu SuperMenu does not touch other Win95 files. GOOD IDEA: Look up on how to get a program to start automatically when starting win95. Do that for SuperMenu. It is basically done by putting a ShortCut to where SuperMenu is stored (like c:\suprmenu) in the startup directory (like c:\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp) This way you don't have to manually start it every time you start win95. Also look at the systemtaskbar properties and the startmenu programs tab.

When distributing, the following files must stay together: - suprmenu.exe - suprmend.dll - suprmenu.ini - readme.txt - file_id.diz Longer description ------------------ Also easy access to much used windows functions like Close(Exit)/Minimize/Maximize/Restore. Options for setting SuperMenu active, not active, enable or disable windows functions from the SuperMenu popupmenu like Close(Exit)/Minimize/Maximize/Restore and selecting between a larger popupmenu or a smaller popupmenu. All the options can be set thru the systemmenu of the active supermenu program. This is accessible thru the systemtaskbar and clicking the right-button (alternate mouse-button) on top of the active supermenu icon. The FREESPOT menuentry: It is simply a menuentry which can be clicked on and which removes the menu. It's a safe place to click, which doesn't produce any action, other than removing the popup menu. Known anomalies --------------- If the autohide option is selcted for the systemtaskbar, then supermenu needs to flash the systemtaskbar during the time when the Win95 StartMenu is displayed. The systemtaskbar will disappear after the Win95 StartMenu is no longer displayed.

Shareware (US$ 15.- Visa/AmEx, Transfer) Jarle Pettersen, jarlep@telepost.no CompuServe: 100420,474 Additions from version 2.0 to version 2.1 ----------------------------------------- - Tried to come up with a better solution when SuperMenu pops up close to screen-borders. Instead of popping up in the middle of the screen, SuperMenu now pops up above the cursorpostion if close to screen-borders. If cursorposition is in one of the four screen-corners, then SuperMenu pops up below or above the actual cursorposition. This is done so that the SuperMenu popup doesn't collide with a possible context-menu. - It is now possible to train SuperMenu in such a way so that SuperMenu does not get activated on top of certain areas/windows. This is done by keeping down the Shift and Control key on the keyboard at the same time as clicking the right-mousebutton (alternate mouse- button). Then, a dialogbox shows up with information which identifies the window the cursor was on top of before the dialogbox where displayed. The user will then be able to disable SuperMenu activity on top of this window. It is also possible to enable SuperMenu activity on top of a windows which was previously disabled. It is possible to disable SuperMenu activity on top of as many as 10 areas/windows. - The timerintervall on the demoversion which displays the aboutbox, has been increased from 20 min. to 4 hours. - There has been put in an intial popup welcome- screen which informs about how to register, on the demoversion.
