WHAT IS ROGER'S RAPID RESTART?
Roger's Rapid Restart v2.0 gives you total control over exiting and
restarting Windows. It is aimed at the Windows power-user and developer.
It allows you to:
- Exit Windows
- Restart Windows without first going back to the DOS prompt
- Exit Windows, run a DOS application, and restart Windows without
further user intervention. This is particularly useful for developers
and power-users.
- Exit Windows and reboot your system. This will exit Windows and
perform a soft system reset.
You can utilize our Rapid Restart (tm) feature to exit or restart Windows
without the delays involved when each application is asked if it is OK to
exit. This is particularly handy if you are running applications that
always ask before terminating (such as a DOS application). You can also run
Roger's Rapid Restart with passed-in parameters and have full access to its
command set.
A CAUTIONARY NOTE (PLEASE READ)
Roger's Rapid Restart includes an optional feature called Rapid Restart (tm).
This allows you to perform all the various methods of exiting and/or
restarting Windows without the normal asking of permission to exit from each
application. This is MUCH faster than the normal method ... particularly if
you have active non-Windows apps that you have to either exit first or click
on an OK button before exiting.
However, Rapid Restart must be used with a bit of caution. If you have
unsaved files open (e.g., a word processing file, etc.) they will be LOST if
you use Rapid Restart. With the exception of obviously unsaved documents,
most applications have no problem with exiting via the Rapid Restart method.
INSTALLATION NOTES
Once you have unarchived (or copied) all of Roger's Rapid Restart's
files to a directory on your hard disk (e.g., C:\RESTART), run RESTART.EXE
from Windows.
The first time you run Roger's Rapid Restart, it will add itself to the
LOAD= line in your WIN.INI file. If you decide at a later date to
discontinue using Roger's Rapid Restart, simply remove this entry from the
LOAD= line.
Once installed, you can access Roger's Rapid Restart by pressing the
activation sequence from within Windows (CONTROL+ALT+INSERT).
That's all there is to it! We hope you enjoy the program. The trial
license for Roger's Rapid Restart allows you to use it for a period of
21 days, after which time you must register it if you continue using it.
USER'S GUIDE IN ON-LINE HELP
Roger's Rapid Restart contains a complete User's Guide in its on-line
help system. You can select the "Help" button when the main dialog is
displayed.
IF YOU DON'T WANT RRR TO ADD ITSELF TO YOUR LOAD= LINE
To get the most benefit out of Roger's Rapid Restart, you should
run it when Windows starts. However, you might wish to run RESTART.EXE
from your StartUp group as opposed to the LOAD= line. If you have
already installed RRR and want to run it from somewhere else, simply
edit the WIN.INI file and remove its entry from the LOAD= line. If
you have not yet run RESTART.EXE, simply create a file called RESTART.INI
in your Windows directory and add the following lines:
[RRR]
Inst=1

HOW TO DE-INSTALL ROGER'S RAPID RESTART
If you wish to de-install Roger's Rapid Restart from a system,
do the following:
1) Disable the autoloading of RESTART.EXE when Windows
starts up. By default, an entry is added to your
LOAD= line in the WIN.INI file. Simply edit WIN.INI
and remove this entry.
2) Shutdown RRR by selecting "Remove" in the main dialog.
3) Delete all files in Roger's Rapid Restart's home directory
(assuming this directory contains ONLY RRR files!)
