******** CEO:DESKTOP MANAGER ********
***************************************************************************
Sloop Software is pleased to announce the release of the Windows 3.1
replacement shell, CEO:Desktop Manager. CEO:Desktop Manager is the
complete graphical replacement for MS Windows 3.1 Program Manager.
It offers all the major features of Program Manager plus a host of
new features. If you're looking for an easy to use replacement with
all the features Program Manager should have had, give CEO:Desktop
Manager a try. $50
CEO is based on our popular shareware program Sloop Manager. It can
be used to replace either Folders or Sloop Manager.
CEO's major features include:
*Consistent interface throughout. No need to make use of two
different programs (ie. Folders and ProgMan) for one job.
*Create subfolders (subgroups) within folders, allowing you to create
a tree structure of folders and subfolders.
*Display items in folders as icons, text (as in File Manager) or as
buttons (as in a toolbar)(not available in CEO Lite).
*Password protection provided for individual folders or can be used
to lock people out of Windows completely.
*History menu which tracks the last twelve applications launched
from any folder. This allows you to quickly re-launch an
application you wish to use again after closing it.
*Background color used by a folder can be set on a per folder
basis. This allows for color-coding of folders.
(not available in CEO Lite)
*Link to directory capability which allows you to link a folder to
a directory. Once linked, the folder will automatically add and
delete items from the folder as files are created or deleted in the
directory. This eliminates the need to manually add new items or
delete old items. (not available in CEO Lite)
*Add items to folders by dragging files from the File Manager.
Launch programs by dropping data files onto program icons where
these icons may either be icons in a folder or icons on the desktop.
Print files by dropping them on Print Manager.
*Use any folder as a startup folder when starting Windows.
This allows you to start Windows with different startup
configurations by just using a command line parameter when
starting Windows.
*Launch multiple applications with a single action. All items in
a folder may be launched at once or only selected items may be
launched by just hitting the enter key.
*Customizable popup run menu provided for quick access to
programs accessible from any folder or from the desktop. Easy to
use menu editor included for building and maintaining run menu.
Menu items may be set to run minimized or maximized. Also,
hotkeys may be assigned to menu items.
*Includes associate command similar to File Manager's, but CEO's
allows multiple programs to be assigned to a single extension.
Executing a folder item with multiple programs assigned to it will
cause a listbox to appear from which the desired program to be run
may be selected.
