About Trash Free-K! ------------------- Welcome to Trash Free-K!, Shareware Version 1.00! Trash Free-K! is a drag & drop file deletion utility for Microsoft Windows, Version 3.1 or later. (Sorry, this application will not work with Windows 3.0 or earlier.) Trash Free-K! appears as an icon on the Desktop. Select one or more file names in the Windows File Manager. Drag the names to the Trash Free-K! icon, and the files will be immediately chewed up (deleted), (Free)ing up (K)ilobytes in disk space! Options for Trash Free-K! are accessed by clicking on the icon and selecting an item from the system menu. Installation ------------ The self-extracting file you just ran, TRHFRK.EXE, contains this file and the file TFV100F.EXE. Copy TFV100S.EXE to a temporary directory, and execute it. It will create the following files: Name Size Date Time ------------ -------- -------- -------- TRASHFRK.EXE 15449 04-05-93 1:11a SUBEZ.VBX 17408 03-11-93 4:09a Copy TRASHFRK.EXE to your Microsoft Windows default directory, normally named \WINDOWS. SUBEZ.VBX is a support file for Trash Free-K!; copy it to your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. I recommend the use of the Windows File Manager for these tasks, and would NOT overwrite a file of the same name but with later dates. Windows Write, Windows Notepad and the PIF Editor must be in a directory in your DOS path for Draggin' Viewer to function properly. One additional support file is required to use Trash Free-K! Version 1.00: VBRUN200.DLL, the runtime module for Visual Basic 2.0. If you run any other Visual Basic 2.0 programs, you have this file, probably in your \WINDOWS or \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. Otherwise, VBRUN200.DLL is available from the same BBS, on-line system or software distributor where you obtained TRHFRK.EXE. To execute Trash Free-K!, add its icon to a Program Manager Program Group, or click on TRASHFRK.EXE in File Manager. NOTES ABOUT THIS VERSION ------------------------ 1. Trash Free-K! is a drag & drop client. The Windows File Manager is the most available drag & drop server. It is especially recommended to load Trash Free-K! with the File Manager. This can be done by adding the command TRASHFRK.EXE, separated by a space, to the Program Manager command line for the File Manager (WINFILE.EXE). See your Windows Program Manager documentation. 2. Trash Free-K! initially defaults to "Always On Top" mode. This keeps it visible when another window covers it. If you are annoyed by holes in your maximized documents, toggle "Always On Top" off by clicking the system menu option. Trash Free-K! will store the last setting of "Always On Top" when closed normally (turning off your computer is bad Windows hygiene!) in the file TRASHFRK.INI and restore the setting when restarted. 3. Close Trash Free-K! by clicking on "Close" from the system menu. 4. Help can be obtained by selecting "Help..." from the system menu.
