IMPORTANT USER INFO FOR THE WINDOWS WALL PAPER RANDOMIZER 7.2 This short document covers the installation of the files needed to run RANDOMIZER. ********************************************************************** Installation from a Hard Drive is as follows: 1. Unzip the Random-b.zip file into any directory 2. Run the Setupran.exe program file from the Windows File Manager or Program Manager ********************************************************************** If you received this program on a floppy disk... There are two ways to install RANDOMIZER from a floppy disk: First change to the 'A' drive by entering 'A:' at the 'C:' prompt. Then, at the 'A:' prompt type 'install', then press 'Enter'. Install will immediately begin to run. Your two choices are: 1. You can let 'install' do everything by entering 'Y' when install asks if 'you want to go directly to Windows to automatically setup', or 2. You can enter 'N' at that time, then go to Windows and run 'C:\rndmi72\setupran.exe' yourself. Its easier to just let install do it. After the Windows part of the setup is complete, you must exit windows to let the install disk complete its program and then return to Windows. Upon returning to Windows, you MUST put a copy of the WALL PAPER CHANGER Icon in your STARTUP Group so the changer will operate each time you start Windows. ************************************************** * * * IN ALL CASES... * * * ************************************************** The 'Control Center' program must be run in order to select wall paper files for display. A new directory named 'rndmi72c' will be created on your hard drive. These files will be installed: Readme1.txt --- A document simliar to this one Randcc.hlp --- Help file Randcc1.hlp -- Help file Randcc72.bmp - A logo bitmap that MUST be present. However, if you would like for your OWN choice of picture to be there you can save your picture as 'c:\rndmi72c\randcc72.bmp' Randcc72.exe - The Control Center program file Randmscr.exe - The Wall Paper Changer program file Some other files will also be installed in the rndmi72c directory, including the windows setup file 'setupran.exe'. I did not list them because during install and setup any file I provided for setup will be deleted to eliminate wasted drive space. What a guy!!! Two other operating files are generated automatically when you run the Randcc72.exe 'Control Center' file. These are: Randc172.ini - The ini file that holds your wall paper selections Randcc72.ini - The ini file that holds setup information Four files will be installed into the C:\Windows\System directory and should probably be left on your system if you should decide to remove the RANDOMIZER program. These files are standard Visual Basic library files that many programs need in order to function. Indeed, these files may aready exist on your system. Removing them may cause the failure of other programs: Anibrt.vbx --- Cmdialog.vbx - Vbdb300.dll -- Vbrun300.dll - To remove the RANDOMIZER program from your computer simply delete the icons and group created by setup and remove the directory C:\Rndmi72c and all files in it. Help is available in the Control Center program. * Remember * To complete the setup, you MUST put a copy of the WALL PAPER CHANGER Icon in your STARTUP Group. (end of file)
