- UpDown -a utility to control Program/File Manager restoration and minimization
- by Bruce Adelsman (c) 1990
-
- Do you usually have the "Minimize on Use" flag set? While it's nice to have
- the Program Manager automatically minimized while you run other applications,
- it's a pain to manually restore the Program Manager once you're completed with
- those applications. UpDown does this job for you; it automatically restores
- the Program Manager once all other applications are closed or minimized.
-
- UpDown can perform the following functions for the Program and/or File Manager:
- o Restoration whenever all other applications are either closed or minimized
- o Minimization once the Manager is no longer the active window
- o When the Restore option is selected for both Managers, Updown will restore
- the last Manager minimized
-
- The restoration and minimization options can be set independently for the
- Program and File Managers. If you like, continue to use "Minimize on Use" and
- use UpDown only for restoration.
-
-
- Installation and Usage:
- Copy UPDOWN.EXE to your WINDOWS directory (or any other directory in your
- path). Place a reference to the program on your LOAD= line in your WIN.INI
- file.
- Example:
- [windows]
- load=UPDOWN.EXE
-
- Alternately, double click on UPDOWN.EXE. To set options, click once on the
- UpDown icon and choose Options....
-
-
- Note: This program will maintain a WIN.INI profile section similar to the
- one below.
-
- [UpDown]
- ProgManRestore=1
- ProgManMinimize=0
- FileManRestore=1
- FileManMinimize=1
-
-
- That's it. I Hope that you find this program to be one of those tools you
- depend on.
