Mouse Overdrive Menu Activation
Activating the Mouse Overdrive Menu

To activate the Mouse Overdrive main menu double-click the right mouse button.

Solutions to Activation Problems:

Some Applications use the right mouse button for activating "Pop-up Menus".  If this is the case, double-click the right mouse button on the "Title Bar", "Scroll Bar", or "Menu Bar".

In addition, particular applications do not allow Mouse Overdrive to catch the right mouse button when it is double-clicked.  This is usually in the Client area of the applications.  The solution for applications that use "Pop-up Menus" will work in this situation as well.


Activate the system menu by clicking the left mouse button on the Mouse Overdrive icon.


	This will bring Program Manager to the top.  If Program Manager is an icon it will be opened.


	This will bring Control Panel to the top.  If Control Panel is not running, it will be started.


For example:  The Microsoft Write client area is the area in which you type the text.  Non-Client areas are Scroll Bars, Menu Bars, Tool Bars, Title (Caption) Bars, etc.


	This will bring File Manager to the top.  If File Manager is not running, it will be started.


This activates a pop-up sub-menu listing the currently running tasks.  Selecting a task from the menu will bring it to the top.  If the task is an icon, the icon will be opened and the window brought to the top.


Accessories Menu

This Menu gives you quick access to the accessory applications provided with Windows.


This activates the user applications pop-up menu.  This pop-up menu is customized by the user.  To add, modify, and delete items in this menu see Menu Maintenance found on the System Menu.

Menu Maintenance


Overdrive Menu

The overdrive menu provides access to Mouse Overdrive Functions.

For help on individual items, click areas on the graphic below---or press TAB to move to the areas, and then press ENTER:


Provides information about Mouse Overdrive and registration status.  During the test drive period, the number of days left are shown.  After the application is registered the customer identification code is shown.


This allows you to change the font, size, and style used in the Mouse Overdrive pop-up menus.


Various actions will have sounds associated with them when this menu item is checked.

Note:  If this windows installation doesn't support the playing of "wave" files, this item will not be present.


This will terminate Mouse Overdrive.


Single Click on the icon with the left mouse button to activate the system menu.

Double Click on the icon with the left mouse button to activate Menu Maintenance.

The title below the icon will display the number of files in the trash can.


Starts the "Help for Mouse Overdrive 1.1" help file.


This will remove the Mouse Overdrive icon from the desktop.  However, the Main Menu is still available by double-clicking the right mouse button.  When the icon is hidden, this menu item is replaced with the Show Icon command.


This will minimize all windows on the desktop that are not icons. The Clock will remain in it's current state.

Note:	This function will minimize all windows.  If a window is prompting for a response via a modal dialog box, restoring the applications window will not be possible from the icon.  To restore the application's window, select the appropriate task name form the Mouse Overdrive Task List menu.


Modal dialog boxes must be closed before the calling application can continue processing user requests.

Example:  The Move file dialog box in File Manager.


This will arrange the non-minimized windows from the upper left-hand corner to the lower right-hand corner.


All icons will be arrange from left to right on the bottom of the screen.  The spacing is determined by the icon spacing parameter found in the desktop portion of Control Panel.


Application Menu Maintenance
Menu Maintenance

The menu maintenance dialog box below is available from the System Menu under the Menu Maintenance menu item.

Menu Maintenance allows the customization of Mouse Overdrive.  Both sub-menus and menu items may be added to the Mouse Overdrive main menu.  To start you must add a top menu name. This will be added to the mouse overdrive main menu.  From there you may add and delete addition sub-menus and menu items.

The sub-menus are organized much like directories in the DOS file system.  Each directory or (sub-menu) may contain additional menus organized in a hierarchy.  Each sub-menu, except the top-menu, contain a pre-defined menu that points to the Parent Menu.  By selecting sub-menus or the Parent Menu you may move up and down the hierarchy much like navigating the file directories on the hard disk.  When you have selected a particular sub-menu (made it the current menu), you may add menu items or applications to it.  See the graphic below.

Sub-menus will not appear if there are no menu items that belong to it.

For help, click a field in the dialog below---or press TAB to move to the field, and then press ENTER:

Click for an example of the resulting menu.

Use this edit box to add new sub-menus to the current menu.  Type in the new menu name and select the add menu button.  The new sub-menu will be added to the list below.


This list box displays the sub-menus that belong to the menu displayed in the current menu box above.  To make a sub-menu in this list the current menu, simply select it with the mouse.  If the current menu is not the top menu, a menu called "..(Parent Menu)" is displayed in the list.  Selecting the Parent Menu will make the owner of this current menu the new current menu.


If text has been typed in the box to the left, selecting this button will add that text to the list below it and build a new menu.  Select the new menu in the box below to make it the current menu.


This will delete all sub-menus and menu items belonging to the current menu.  If the top menu is the current menus this will delete the entire menu structure you have created.  Use with caution.  You will be prompted to confirm your choice to delete a current menu.


Allows you to rename the current menu.


The System Menu is presented when the mouse is clicked on the Mouse Overdrive icon.

Selecting Trash Can Files


Selecting Trash Can Files
Selecting and Unselecting Files in the Trash Can Manager

A file is selected when it is highlighted.

To select a single file, put the cursor on the desired file and click the mouse.

To select a range of files, put the cursor on the first file, then hold down the mouse button and drag across the range of files to be selected.  Release the mouse button when you are on the last file in the range.

To select various files throughout the list, hold down the CTRL key while you click on the desired files with the mouse cursor.

To unselect a single file, place the cursor on a selected file, then while holding down CTRL key click the mouse button.

To select all the files use the Select All button.

To return all the files to an unselected status use the Unselect All button.


These file names that are highlighted can be deleted with the Delete button to the right or restored to their original directories when the Restore button is used.

Selecting Trash Can Files


This will delete the selected trash can files.  They can no longer be restored.

Selecting Trash Can Files


This will restore the selected trash can files to their original directory locations.

Selecting Trash Can Files


This selects all the files in the trash can.


This will unselect all selected files in the trash can.


Dismisses the Trash Can Manager.


If files are the trash can, the Mouse Overdrive icon will have a RED ring around it rather than a BLUE ring.  Also if files are in the trash can the number of files will be indicated by the icon title.


Putting files in the trash
Putting files in the trash.

The Trash Can is used in conjunction with the Windows File Manager.  It uses File Manager's "Drag/Drop" capabilities to provide a temporary holding place for files you wish to eventually discard.  If later you decide you need the file retrieved from the trash can, simply select the file in the Trash Can Contents list and press the restore button to the right of the list.  Files will be restored to the directory from which they were dragged from.  If the directory from which the file came was deleted it will be recreated.  However, once the file has been deleted from the trash can contents it can no longer be restored (use DOS UNDELETE or other undelete utility).

To place a file or files in the trash simply select files in the File Manager file list.  Then place the mouse cursor over one of the selected files and press the left mouse button.  Continue to hold down the button and drag the cursor over to the Mouse Overdrive icon.  When the cursor is over the icon, the drag drop indicator that is dragged along with the mouse cursor will change to a document symbol with a "+" in it.  At this point, release the left mouse button and drop the files into the Mouse Overdrive icon.  The status of the Trash Can Manager will be displayed in the icon title below and the ring around the icon will change from BLUE to RED.
