Quick Boot is a small and handy utility designed to automate the tasks of exiting and restarting MS-Windows, as well as restarting the system. It can be configured to exit MS-Windows, restart MS-Windows or reboot the system automatically at up to 30 different times and dates. It also doubles up as a on-screen clock and an alarm clock for up to 10 different times and dates. It has an option to remain on top of the screen so that you can easily access it at all times.

New features in this version include:

# Perfect backward scanning of dates and times. This means that you will  never miss a single time you set for a certain task.  All times and dates set will be pushed into an internal queue and will always be processed, even if MS Windows is busy when the specified time passed.

# Clear All feature for easy clearing of times and dates set.

# Individual confirmation for exiting, restarting and rebooting of system.

This version is for 16-bit Windows. Please use Quick Boot 2.50 (wqb250.zip) for 32-bit Windows 95.

What is Shareware?

Shareware Notice & Registration

What SHAREWARE is:

Shareware describes a method of distributing copyrighted software in which a user is allowed to fully evaluate the software before purchasing it.  After an evaluation period, the user is required to register the product if s/he decides to keep using it.

Shareware distribution addresses all of the legitimate complaints that users have with commercial software distribution.

*	Shareware allows a user to fully evaluate a product, free of charge, in his or her home, BEFORE deciding to buy it.

*	Shareware programs can circulate freely on Bulletin Boards, through Shareware disk distributors, or through user groups.

*	Because Shareware distribution reduces the need to advertise, Shareware is less expensive than commercial software.

*	Shareware authors can often be more responsive to users' requests for help or bug fixes than large software companies.

*	Shareware software, needless to say, is never copy-protected.

In short, Shareware is a user's dream come true.  Users show their appreciation to developers for this extremely flexible distribution scheme by registering their software.  Without user registrations Shareware software would gradually disappear.  It is not sufficient to simply let the "other guy" pay the registration.  You are the other guy's "other guy".

What SHAREWARE is NOT:

Shareware is not "free" software.  Shareware is not Public Domain software. The fee that you may have paid to receive a Shareware program does not mean that the software has been paid for.  This money was paid to a Shareware disk vendor, User Group, Bulletin Board Service or retailer to cover their cost of getting the program to you.  Shareware software is paid for by registering your copy with the author.
