- THANK YOU
- ---------
- Thank you for trying Shutdown Monitor! Shutdown Monitor is a
- powerful, flexible, and easy-to-use add-on for Windows 95/NT 4.0.
- It allows you to selectively automate running programs, batch files,
- command lines, etc. when Windows 95/NT 4.0 is shutting down.
-
- FEATURES
- --------
- Shutdown Monitor will create a 'Shutdown' directory on your start
- menu. When Windows 95 shuts down you can:
- * Select Shutdown Monitor to automatically run any programs
- (shortcuts) located in the shutdown directory.
- * Have Shutdown Monitor query you at shut down and select which
- programs you would like to run
- * Select not to run any programs
- * Cancel Windows shutdown
-
- STORED COMMANDS
- * You can also selectively execute stored commands and command lines
- at shut down. Anything that you can Run from the Start>Run menu,
- you can execute from Shutdown Monitor, including DOS commands.
-
- Shutdown Monitor is "User Profile" aware. Each user will have their
- own Shutdown directory and commands list to execute.
-
- You can also use the built-in Windows Shutdown program to automate and
- execute time-consuming shutdown procedures.
-
- The author says:
- "I'm a programmer. I wanted a way to automate backing up my essential
- files and libraries. I had a terrible habit of forgetting to back up my
- files until after I had already shut my system down. I tried using the
- Startup folder, but that meant 1) I did my automatic backup BEFORE I made
- any changes and 2) My backup ran every time I rebooted (which was pretty
- often). I knew that there were other utilities around that automatically
- ran programs at shut down, but I didn't want to run these programs and
- batch files every time I rebooted. So Shutdown Monitor was born. I'm
- happy with the way it turned out. It really is a headache saver."
-
- Try it! I think you'll like it.

- VERSION INFO
- ============
- Version 1.1.0 - Added the ability to automatically cancel the Windows
- shutdown. Useful if the programs/commands you were executing
- took too long and Windows shutdown was timing out. If
- AutoCancel Windows Shutdown was selected, then Shutdown Monitor
- will present the user with it's own Windows Shut Down
- selection window.
-
- Added WinNT 4.0 support.
-
- Version 1.2.0 - Fixed a bug that prevented certain types of shortcuts
- from being executed properly.
-
- Added a module that you can perform the 'Windows Shut Down'
- from. The advantage to using the Windows Shut Down module that
- comes with Shutdown Monitor (instead of the one on the "Start"
- menu) are:
- 1. You completely avoid having Windows' Shut Down timing out.
- 2. You don't have to wait until all your programs and commands
- execute to finish shutting down.
- 3. You avoid using system resources while Shutdown Monitor runs
- in the background (or minimized) waiting for Windows to
- Shut Down.
-
- List Commands and Shutdown Folder programs in one window. Added
- priorty run buttons (like in Shutmon Maintenance). Now you can
- review the entire execute list at one time, and modify the run
- order of the entire execute list, not just the command lines.
-
- Version 1.2.1 - Fixed a bug that prevented Shutdown Monitor from closing
- WIndows NT directly from the program.
-
- Version 1.3.0 - More robust NT support and improved "shortcut" support.
-
- Version 1.3.1 - Moved username and license number from HKEY_CURRENT_USER
- to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE for easier management of users on one
- machine.
-
- Fixed a minor bug that caused priority buttons to be
- always visible.
