- EXITMAN Version 2.0
-
- Introduction
- ============
-
- EXITMAN is a windows utility which gives the user the ability to
- exit windows, restart windows or reboot the system at any time.
- EXITMAN is designed to stay out of your way by remaining minimized
- whenever any other application receives focus. By adding EXITMAN to
- your windows Startup group, you will be able to exit, restart or reboot
- at any time, with minimal effort.
-
- The feature of Exit Manager which sets it apart from all other exit
- programs is its ability to attach to menus and to run in three seperate
- modes. By selecting the Attach To Menus, Exit Manager will append
- Exit Windows, Restart Windows and Reboot System menu items to the system
- menu of all running Windows applications. This means, no matter where
- you are, you have immediate access to Exit Manager's features.
-
- Also, Exit Manager provides three modes of operation; interactive,
- immediate and invisible. In interactive mode, Exit Manager provides a
- sharp 3D interface from which you can choose to initiate any of Exit
- Manager's features. In immediate mode, you can specify command line options
- which will cause Exit Manager to exit, restart or reboot immediately!
- This way you can create program items for each feature and execute them
- without any further interaction. Finally, in invisible mode, Exit Manager
- can be configured to start up with no splash screens, attach to system menus,
- and then remove itself from the desktop (leaving no icon on the desktop).
- By adding Exit Manager (in invisivle mode) to your StartUp group, you will
- add a feature to your system that Windows left out!
-
- Refer to the on-line help for more information on all of these features.
-
- EXITMAN is a Visual Basic program. This means as long as EXITMAN
- is running (including minimized), VBRUN300.DLL is loaded in memory.
- Therefore, any other Visual Basic application you have will load faster
- since VBRUN300.DLL is already loaded.
-
- NEW TO VERSION 2.0!!!!!!
- ========================
- Exit Manager now includes a complete install program, an uninstall program
- and a complete help system. Application provides context
- sensitive help by pressing F1 at any time. Command line options were also
- added to provide greater control and flexibility. Refer to help file for full
- details on all features.
