         A Few Nifty Tools for Simplifying Your Windows Applications
                               by Lenny Bailes

Windows  has  a Startup group that will run designated programs  when  Windows 
initializes,  so why not a "Wrapup" group to execute specified  programs  when 
you close the session? And for users with multiple Windows configurations  for 
different  workgroup  scenarios,  shouldn't  there  be  an  easy  way  to  add 
applications without editing multiple sets of INI files? 

Gary  Tessler's  TNT (Tessler's Nifty Tools) utility package  addresses  these 
needs and more.

The Wrapup utility lets you set up a "ShutDown" group analogous to the Windows 
StartUp  group. You can use it to perform tasks, such as backing up files,  as 
you  close  your  Windows  session. Any  batch file, or  object  that  can  be 
executed from Program Manager can be dragged to this Shutdown group.

Another  utility,  CFGCNTRL  (Configuration Control), eliminates  the  use  of 
separate sets of INI files for multiple Windows users or network scenarios  on 
the  same  system.  Previously, if you wanted to restrict  access  to  certain 
Program Manager features for some users, you would have had to create separate 
instances  of PROGMAN.INI with and without file protection. You also  would've 
had  to  keep  separate  INI configurations for LAN  and  video  drivers.  But 
CFGCNTRL   automatically  parses  INI  files  to  add  or   delete   specified 
information, so now you can have configuration sections or individual commands 
systematically added and deleted to one set of INIs.

If  you want to convert your Windows GRP files to and from an  editable  ASCII 
format,  GRP2INI/INI2GRP  is a pair of utilities you should  check  out.  This 
process  is  helpful if you're trying to transport your  Windows  installation 
from one system to another. With this utility, you can also indicate in  which 
order you want programs in the STARTUP.GRP to run.

The  TNT Windows utilities are marketed in three individual TNT  packs,  along 
with  a  truckload  of  useful DOS utilities. To  get  the  Windows  utilities 
discussed  in this article, you must purchase packs 1 and 3. You can  download 
limited trial versions of most of the utilities from CompuServe.
