- Start Once A Day
- Version 2.3
- by Kwan Leung
- February 1995
-
-
- 1. INTRODUCTION
-
- Startone (Start Once A Day) v.2.3 is designed to execute several tasks or
- programs once only in Windows on a day. This program checks the programs you
- specified every time you start Windows have ran before on that day. If they
- have not ran before, then it starts them. On the other hand, it skips them.
- The programs may be backup utilities, virus scanner or any other things.
-
- StartOne v.2.3 contains the following files:
-
- desc.sdi : program description for uploading to BBS.
- file_id.txt : program description for uploading to BBS.
- startone.exe: checks time & activates programs if they are the 1st time
- to start Windows.
- startcfg.exe: configure (add/delete) programs that you want to start
- once a day (or configure programs for startone to run).
- startone.txt: this text file for documentation.
-
- NOTE: VBRUN200.DLL is required to run this program. For the reason of
- shorter download time, I have not packed with this program.
-
-
- 2. INSTALLATION
-
- a) Copy "startone.exe" and "startcfg.exe" into a directory.
- b) Use the "File/New/Program Item" in the Program Manager to install two new
- program items for "startone" and "startcfg".
- c) Put the Startone icon (the Space Shuttle icon) into the Startup group
- inside your Windows.
- d) Run Startcfg (activate the Startone by mouse clicks) to select programs that
- you want to start once a day.
