- Version 2.0 15 Sep 1988
- Version 2.0a 20 Jul 1990 Recompiled for Windows 3.0
- ---------------------------
-
- V2.0 can handle multiple application of same name and iconic applcations.
-
- General information:
-
- DESKSAVE is a Windows 3.0 utility which saves window applications
- positions and sizes as default so that next time you start Windows
- you'll get the same desktop as you had before.
-
- DESKSAVE runs as an icon, and all its commands are on the System menu.
-
- To save desktop:
- - run DESKSAVE
- - select option "Save Desk" from System menu
-
- To arrange desktop:
- - select option "Arrange Desk" from System menu
-
- OR
-
- - run DESKSAVE with command line option "-l"
-
- When saving desktop DESKSAVE enumerates all top level window applications
- (not popup style) and saves the names and positions of those
- applications to WIN.INI. If application has an open window, DESKSAVE
- adds its name to the list of applications to be run when starting Windows.
- If application is iconic, its name is added to the load-list.
-
- The format of lists in WIN.INI is:
-
- [DeskSave]
- FILE.EXE=0 0 50 60;60 100 100 140 (filename=position rectangle of
- application window #1;#2; ...
- iFILE.EXE=0 0 50 60;60 100 100 140 (same as above but application
- is iconic (minimized))
-
- When arranging desktop DESKSAVE enumerates top level applications. If the same
- name is found from [DeskSave] list in WIN.INI, a window positioning message
- is send to application.
-
- To running system you need two files:
- DESKSAVE.EXE and DESKLOAD.EXE
-
- DESKLOAD.EXE is used to be loaded as a last application in "Load"-list
- in WIN.INI. It arranges the desktop and exits.
-
- You may use and distribute this program and sources freely.
- I hope you find DESKSAVE useful.
