Get-Set(c)
If you are like me, you probably have a standard set of programs you start
(in the 3.1 Startup Group or in Win.Ini on the load= or run= lines) each
time you boot Windows. Sometimes, such as when you install new software,
you need to have nothing running, so you must close all those open
applications. Or perhaps, different times you boot your computer, you need
to work on totally different projects, say software development, or data
analysis. Wouldn't it be nice when you start windows to be able to select
different configurations of apps that are to be run (or loaded)?
Introducing Get-Set, a simple utility program that allows you to select one
of several configurations to be executed at the start of Windows. Get-Set
supports multiple, user configurable, configurations. It has an automatic
startup feature that will automatically boot a selected default configuration
after a time limit has elapsed. You can create many different configurations.
Each one contains a list of programs to be run or loaded.
Refer to GETSET.WRI for installation and usage instructions.
There are several minor changes to this release:
1. You are shown the icon of each program you add in the configuration
screen and the icon of each program as it is being activated.
2. You are able to mark a given program in a configuration as disabled.
This means it will not be activated but will still remain in the
configuration (this is nice if you don't want something to run
temporily).
3. A password option has been added for each setup. You can specify a
password and you will be required to enter it when that configuration is
run. NOTE, this is not a very secure password algorithm, please keep that
in mind.
4. Some improvements were made to the configuration screen (based on your
feedback).
There is no charge for this release, but ownership and copyright remain
with SET Inc.
I would also appreciate your help in finding and killing the bugs that may be
lurking in Get-Set. If you have questions, comments, bug reports, praise,
criticisms and suggestions or anything else on your mind, you can reach me at
