Overview of ClickerTX

ClickerTX gives instant desktop access to your most commonly used e-mail addresses and web pages.

Just two clicks will launch your web browser or e-mail program with the required e-mail address or web page URL already filled in.

Very simple, very useful!

A single click on the ClickerTX icon in the system tray brings up a popup menu - one more click takes you to your default web browser with the required URL already entered or to your default e-mail “Send Message” dialog with the recipient’s e-mail address entered.

ClickerTX has been designed for users of Windows 95, 98 and NT4 and above who are frustrated by the number of mouse clicks it takes to carry out the simple task of sending an e-mail to a commonly used address or to get to a frequently visited web page.

ClickerTX sits in the system tray, meaning that is available at all times while using your PC.  With just two clicks you can launch your default browser and head to the required web page or bring up your default “Send Message” dialog box and start typing your message.

ClickerTX requires uses your default e-mail program and web browser and simply launches them as needed.  If the required application is already loaded, ClickerTX will simply maximize it, preventing multiple instances.

ClickerTX can display any number of e-mail addresses and web page URLs and these can be displayed in any order on the popup menu.  For example, you might want to keep all the e-mail addresses together.  You can add, delete or edit entries at any time using the Directory Editor.

ClickerTX can be used to maintain multiple directories, allowing you to use, for example, one for home and one for work.

ClickerTX can be set to run automatically when Windows starts up and to load a specified directory, giving completely automatic and invisible operation until you need it!


Installing and Uninstalling ClickerTX

ClickerTX runs with Windows 95, 98 and NT4 or later and needs approximately 600Kb of hard disk space.

ClickerTX is distributed as a self-extracting EXE or as a ZIP file which should be extracted into a temporary folder on your hard disk.  The file SETUP.EXE should then be run to install the program.  During the installation process, you will be asked various questions:

•	which folder the software should be installed in

•	the name you would like to give the ClickerTX program group

When the installation process is complete, the files you extracted into the temporary folder are no longer needed and can be deleted.

The files which the system installs are as follows:

•	ClickerTX.EXE	the main program executable

•	ClickerTX.HLP	the help system

•	ClickerTX.CNT	the help system contents file

•	ReadMe.TXT	late information about ClickerTX

•	Licence.TXT	the ClickerTX licence

How to Uninstall ClickerTX

Use the Add/Remove programs option in the Windows Control Panel.  You may wish to keep a copy of any directory files you created.  These are normally located in the DATA folder where ClickerTX is installed by default (ie C:\Program Files\Dimension 4 Systems\ClickerTX\Data).

When you uninstall, you may get a message telling you that not all components could be uninstalled and instructing you to remove them manually.  This is referring to the address directories you have created.  Move or delete them as required.

Introduction to ClickerTX

ClickerTX is used in two ways:

•	to quickly access e-mail addresses and web page URLs from your desktop by right-clicking on the ClickerTX icon in your system tray.

•	to maintain directories of e-mail addresses and web page URLs which can be quickly accessed from your desktop.

In normal use, ClickerTX resides in your system tray, simply waiting for you to right-click on the icon.

The system tray will look something like this:

The [image] is the ClickerTX icon.

When you right-click on the icon, a popup menu appears with your list of e-mail addresses and web pages on it.

The popup menu looks like this:

You simply then highlight the entry you want and click.  ClickerTX will then launch or maximise your default e-mail program or browser with the e-mail address of web URL already inserted, ready for you to use.  All this with just two clicks!

The Directory Editor is used to maintain your directories of commonly used e-mail addresses and web page URLs.  You can create as many directories as you need.  For example, you might want to use one for home and one for work, or have separate directories for everyone who uses the PC.  It is also used to set your ClickerTX preferences.

The Directory Editor looks like this:


Using the Popup Menu

The popup menu gives you instant desktop access to your directory of commonly used e-mail addresses and web page URLs.   The popup menu is accessed by clicking on the ClickerTX icon on the system tray.

The ClickerTX icon looks like this:

The popup menu will appear when you right-click on the icon in the system tray.

While using your PC for other tasks, you can use the popup menu to:

•	quickly send an e-mail to an often used address

•	quickly go to a regularly visited web page

•	access the directory of e-mail address and web URLs

•	close ClickerTX

Simply click on the required option.  Alternatively, the program can be closed by pressing L and the directory can be displayed by pressing S.

The popup menu looks like this:

If ClickerTX is running in evaluation mode (ie is unregistered) then the popup menu contains some other options to aid registration.

When ClickerTX is unregistered, the popup menu looks like this:


Maintaining Directories

Directories are the databases of e-mail addresses and web page URLs which you want to be able to access instantly from your desktop.  You can store any number of each type in a database.

Directories can be saved so that you can have different directories for different uses of your PC.  For example, you could have one directory for work use and another for home use, containing your most used addresses for each.  Or, if several people use the same PC, each could have their own set of directories.

Directories are created, modified and saved using the Directory Editor in ClickerTX.  You can bring up the directory editor by double-clicking on the ClickerTX icon in the system tray, or choosing the Show Directory from the popup menu.

The Directory Editor looks like this:

Directory entries can be added, edited, deleted and moved in a variety of ways.  When a directory is changed, [Modified] will appear beside the filename in the status bar.  This indicates that the directory needs to be saved.  See the section File Operations.

When changes are made to a directory, the popup menu is updated immediately, without the need for the directory to be saved.

Hiding the Directory Editor

Minimize the Directory Editor as normal.  ClickerTX will return to the system tray.  The icon remains on the system tray, giving instant access to the popup menu.

Adding an address

There are four ways to add a new e-mail or web page URL address:

There are five ways to edit an existing address in a directory:

•	select the address then click on the Edit Address button. It looks like this:

•	select the address then choose the Address -> Edit menu option

•	select the address then press [CTRL]E

•	right-click on the address in the grid and choose the Edit option

Preferences

There are four preference settings which can be set as required.  These are set up in the Preferences dialog box which is accessed from the File -> Preferences menu option.

The Preferences dialog box looks like this:

•	Default Directory This is the address directory which is loaded automatically when ClickerTX starts.  It can be left blank if required.  Type in a full path to your directory or click browse and select the file.  If the full path is not given, ClickerTX will try to find it in the DATA folder below the folder where CLICKERTX.EXE is located.

•	Launch ClickerTX On Windows Start-up If this is checked, ClickerTX will launch automatically at the start of a Window session.

•	Show Splash Screen If this option is checked, the ClickerTX splash screen will be shown when the program starts.  Note that the splash screen can only be turned off in the registered version.  When running as an evaluation version, the splash screen will always be shown when the program starts.

•	Show Grid Lines Check this option if you want the address grid to appear with lines.

Changes made to the settings do not come into effect until the Apply or OK button is pressed.  Apply will effect the changes but leave the dialog box open.  OK will effect the changes and close the dialog box.
