ClockWork is useful addition to any desktop and is an intelligent alarm and process scheduler.
Simply put, this application allows you to execute a command or a series of commands at precise times or dates. Additionally, ClockWork can automatically execute commands at specified time intervals.
ClockWork has a host of commands that allow you to run files, macros and access menu commands by successive keystroke output. Of course, with its built in time manager, ClockWork allows your personal computer to take on a new role - to perform and automate processes independently of the presence of any user - allowing you to sneak off and get on with less mundane jobs!
DeskTAB is a multi-featured desktop utility designed to complement your Windows session. It enhances the way you work and features:
╖a full windows Browser enabling you to rapidly switch to any window in any application.
╖a function to make any window topmost.
╖the ability to close, maximise, minimise or restore multiple applications simultaneously.
╖the capacity to assign shortcut keys to start your applications.
╖the ability to define your own default working space on your desktop.
╖the power to enhance your mouse - any window or object beneath the mouse cursor automatically receives focus.
╖the ability to cycle automatically from one application to another.
╖the power to launch any file. The directories and files you select are memorised for fast retrieval at a later date.
╖the capacity to make a list of commonly used applications, which you can quickly execute.
╖the power to sense the applications you run - and remember them for easy access.
╖a memory button which remembers all the applications you have running in the session. These can be recalled at another session with the click of a button.
╖quick access to your desktop drives and the recent documents folder.
Often when using Windows, you select text or pictures and copy them to Windows clipboard for fast insertion elsewhere in the document. However, Windows clipboard is by its very nature destructive: it destroys previously stored clipboard items when new data enters it. This has its advantages: it is simple to use and implement. However, Windows powerusers often make extensive use of clipboard and often need to refer to previously copied items.
KlickBoard is a utility designed to capture clipboard text and pictures while you work. It permanently stores the clipboard data on disk and allows for retrieval at a later date. KlickBoard features:
╖complete control over the number of clipboard items stored.
╖KlickBoard can paste multiple clipboard items consecutively. In addition, it can paste and add link text.
╖KlickBoard has fields where you can define text which can be quickly pasted to any document.
╖KlickBoard allows fast printing and saving of clipboard data.
PowerBar is a utility that enhances the way you work with applications. In essence, it is an intelligent toolbar that automatically detects and loads an application specific toolbar which allows you to access commonly used commands. Many windows applications already come with toolbars (speedbars or speed buttons). The toolbars defined with the applications are usually determined by the team that programmed the application in the first place - they decided which commands would be used frequently. PowerBar enables you to bypass this restriction and program your own commands. This toolbar then pops up when the relevant application receives focus.
In addition to being able to assign and program menu commands, PowerBar has features which puts it in a class of its own:
╖send menu command keystokes
╖insert text e.g., frequently used words/phrases into any document
╖run files or applications
╖insert real date and time in any format into any document
╖show message boxes
╖sound warning 'beeps'
╖activate, maximize, minimize, restore and close all windows at a stroke
╖introduce a pause before executing commands
╖the programming of a generic toolbar which can be applied to any application.
╖the ability to run files means you can assign different macros to each button (derived from Windows built in Macro Recorder) thus giving you even more power.
Magic Menu is a utility that features the intelligence of PowerBar giving you the power to create your own universal menu which you can call up from any Windows application. It provides a convenient way of working with the mouse by literally putting all the power behind one universal menu.
PickList is one the smallest utilities you may come across, yet may prove to be one of the most powerful - it allows you to assign text items for fast insertion into any Windows application. It is especially useful for inserting repetitive phrases, words, or sentences into any wordprocessing package. In addition, Picklist has a host of commands that allow it to run files, macros and access menu commands via successive keystroke output. This utility was so cool the programming team used it in the creation of PowerUser Suite.
Shortcut Plus is a new type of software designed to give you complete control over how you run your programs and manipulate Windows from your desktop.
This application is able to transform your simple desktop icons and Start Menu shortcut icons into mini macros (instruction sets) so that with one mouse click or one keypress you can:
╖launch multiple applications in one step.
╖start applications and send menu commands to initialise the program for your use.
╖run programs and immediately send simple text - avoiding necessary retyping everytime you start an application.
╖Shortcut Plus also has facilities to activate, maximize, minimize, restore or close single or all windows in one step.
╖the Shortcut Plus Wizard adopts a familiar and easy way to create shortcut icons for the Start Menu, desktop area, StartUp folder (so the Shortcut Plus executes everytime Windows launches).
╖all this is provided using a rich command set. With the built in Command Wizard, you can now implement the required commands quickly and accurately.
