Hints:- Try launching a file with extension ".txt", ".wav", ".bmp",
".doc", ".bat", ".lnk" or ".pif". Try launching a folder: e.g.
"c:\windows\media". For .lnk or .pif files, you have to type in the
filename manually instead of using the browse button.
2) Left-click an button to launch the program.
3) Left-click or right-click the "frame" to display another row of icons.
4) There are three hot spots on the left portion of the frame. Left-click
the top left corner and drage the whole "bar" to a new position on your
desktop. Super Bar will remember the position next time it runs again.
Move cursor to bottom left corner to pop up the "Exit" option.
Left-click to save and exit. Right-click to exit without save.
Move cursor to middle bottom of frame to choose "custom" option.
5) To remove an icon: In the 'select application path' window, enter a
blank in the application pathname. Then select OK.
6) Do not try to edit the file superbar.ini. If it is corrupted, simply
delete the file and run superbar again. Or rename the backup file
superbar.bak to superbar.ini.
KNOWN BUGS:
1) In the browse file window, it is not possible to choose a file in
a system directory. In this case you have to type in the filename
manually.
