David Aylott's Utilities for Windows
Version 2.4
Introduction:
This collection of utilities performs some useful tasks for users of
Windows 3.x, Windows 95 and Windows NT.
The utilities have been released as Shareware - you are welcome to try
them out free of charge for a period of 30 days. If you find them useful
please pay the author as detailed below otherwise you are required to
delete them from your PC. Your support will make it possible to produce
updates and additional Windows applications.
You are encouraged to pass these utilities on to friends and colleagues
but please keep them in their original format and with all files included
in the package.
Installation:
Copy all of the files into any folder (eg C:\WINUTILS). To make life
easier for you, the folder should be included in your PATH.
You can then have shortcuts to the utilities at your fingertips
(eg on the Windows 95 desktop).
The Utilities:
CLOSEALL - closes all applications and windows
CLOSEWIN - closes all Win95 explorer windows and folders
DEFPRINT - Changes the default printer
ENDSHARE - bypasses the Sharing Dialog when closing down Win95
ENDWIN - exits from Windows
EXIT2DOS - exits Win95 to the DOS prompt
INIEDIT - Opens the WINUTILS.INI file in notepad for editing
MINALL - minimises all applications and windows
NPAD - allows the notepad default fonts, margins and
filetype to be changed
PLAYSND - plays a single .WAV file
REGISTER - registers the Windows Utilities
RESTWIN - restarts windows without rebooting
RUNQUIT - runs a program and then exits from Windows
RUNSND - allows a different sound to be associated with
each and every application
SHUTDOWN - runs any number of cleanup tasks before closing
down Win95
SHUTOPTN - changes the default Windows 95 Shutdown Option
(eg to Restart the PC)
STARTSND - plays a different sound at user specified times
(eg at startup)
TIMEPROG - runs a program for a specified time (eg to limit
the use of games)
WINTIME - windows scheduler that runs programs or send messages
at specified times
WPAD - allows the wordpad default fonts, margins and
filetype to be changed
For more information please refer to the WINUTILS.HLP file
