ToolBar for Windows v1.6

ToolBar is a small utility that provides a quick means of
launching your favorite programs from the Windows desktop.
Click the left mouse button to launch an application, or
the right mouse button to configure a new button.

Custom icons can be assigned to ToolBar buttons. Icons
can be located in ICO or DLL files, as well as most of the
popular icon library formats available for Windows. This
feature is especially useful if you create ToolBar buttons
for MS DOS applications or batch files. The MORICONS.DLL
located in your Windows directory is an example of a DLL
file that contains numerous icons suitable for use as
custom icons for ToolBar buttons.

Five ToolBar button groups are available for organizing
your applications and utilities into customized tool groups.
Press the left and right arrows on the last ToolBar button
to cycle through your button groups.

Click the mouse on the last ToolBar button's group name
to display a popup menu of the various ToolBar options
or to select the button group directly from ToolBar's menu.

To have ToolBar launched whenever Windows is started
select the Options item from the Popup menu and select
the Launch checkbox. Doing this prevents you from having
to put ToolBar in your Program Manager's Startup group.

ToolBar stores your button definitions in the TOOLBAR.INI
file. If you've downloaded an earlier version of ToolBar
don't extract the default INI file found in the ZIP file
or you'll overwrite all of your custom button definitions.

ToolBar has been tested with Windows 95. There is no
reason it shouldn't work with Windows/NT but as yet
I have not had an opportunity to test it. If you run
ToolBar with Win/NT please let me know how it works.

I have tried to keep ToolBar as small as possible so
that users with 386 SX machines and limited memory
resources can still run ToolBar whenever Windows is
launched. Users with VGA and Super VGA video displays
may find that running ToolBar as "Icons Only" preserves
as much desktop space for applications as possible.

ToolBar automatically adjusts its size to your video
display screen height. Depending upon your display
size and video resolution you'll have between 10 and
36 ToolBar buttons per group. If you change your
video driver's display resolution often you'll want
to put your most frequently used applications towards
the top of the ToolBar. Don't be alarmed if you lower
your screen resolution and ToolBar buttons are not
displayed, they are still defined and will re-appear
when you change back to the previous higher resolution.

If you have comments, questions or find any bugs in
ToolBar feel free to contact me on CompuServe or
America On-line.

If you would like to be notified when this application
is upgraded send me an e-mail message with your on-line
address. I'll send you a message when a new version of
ToolBar is uploaded to CompuServe and AOL.

While ToolBar is offered as FreeWare, if you feel that
you must pay something for it you are welcome to send
any amount you wish. I'll except cash, checks, money
orders, bullion or Pentium computer systems as payment.
