- TRASHCAN
- File Deletion for Windows 3.1 File Manager
- (FMTC14.ZIP)
- ==============================================
-
- Description:
- TRASHCAN is a freeware utility to allow the user to set drag a file
- or files from the Windows 3.1 File Manager (FM). FM allows simple
- deletion using just the Delete key, but even with Options /
- Confirmation / [ ] File Delete turned off, you must still hit the OK
- button to confirm the deletion. TRASHCAN permits the more intuitive
- drag and drop of files into the Trash Can without requiring the
- deletion confirmation.
-
- Initial Installation Instructions:
- 1. Put TRASHCAN in your Program Manager STARTUP Group as "File
- Manager Trash Can" and set the "[X] Run Minimized" option.
-
- Other Info:
- TRASHCAN is a very small program and only has a single display which
- is the "About..." dialog. To display the "About..." box, just
- perform a Restore operation such as double-clicking on the TRASHCAN
- icon once the program has been started.
-
- This program requires Windows 3.1 or greater. It should work on
- future versions of Windows, but hopefully future version of File
- Manager won't require the single delete confirmation and this
- program can be thrown in the bit bucket.
-
- Requirements:
- Microsoft Windows 3.1
- Microsoft Windows 3.1 File Manager
-
- Distribution:
- Feel free to distribute this program at will and without any restrictions
- as long as you don't charge for it or delete this text file from the ZIP!
-
- Version History:
- 1.0 - found that confirmation bug in File Manager only disabled the
- double confirmation feature. No matter what you do, you still
- have to confirm all deletions.
- 1.1 - verified operation under 3.1 Debug Mode
- 1.2 - fixed Alt-Tab problem (thanks, JRG). If you Alt-Tab from a
- DOS Prompt to the TrashCan and release - then try to Alt-Tab
- from the TrashCan back to the DOS Prompt, Windows would lock. Fixed!
- - apparently close didn't work with About... dialog. Fixed!
- 1.3 - added ability to make window top most via command line parameter
- - Specifiy "-TOP" or actually "-T" on the command line and TrashCan
- will be created as a TOPMOST window. (thanks, AK)
- 1.4 - fixed repainting of icon (thanks to Q74539 author)
-
- Known Problems:
- * none
-
- Future Enhancements:
- * Should imbed a WAV to sound like the trash can lid is closing or
- like something is being dropped into bottom of an empty trashcan!
- If anyone has the ability to record such a sound, please forward
- to me and I'll imbed it. bd
