o For the self-installing executable, simply doubleclick
on the .exe and follow the on-line instructions.
o For the zip file, unzip the file and place all the files in a new
folder, perhaps called "TrayDrive". To run the program, execute

of Windows NT or '95, create a shortcut in your "Startup" folder.
Detailed shortcut information:
Using the Explorer, right click and drag TrayDrive.exe and drop it in
your Startup folder, choose "Create Shortcut Here" from the popup
menu. For detailed help, please see the manual for NT or '95, refer
