Init for Windows, release 3.55, April 14, 1994 ============================================== Thank you for trying Init for Windows ! My purpose with this program is to make Windows StartUp sequence more flexible. Because Windows gives you access to the famous StartUp group, there can be a time where some apps are sometimes needed in that group, and sometimes not ! This can especially happen is you are using a notebook and don't want your common Network based applications started each time you start Windows far away from you sweet office desk. Temporarely deactivating those app will prevent you from those nasty messages due to the missing network drives. Init for Windows lets you create a dynamic startup list which can be easily modified. Startup programs can be turned ON or OFF depending on your needs. Startup programs can be started MAXimized or MINimized (except MS Mail & MS Schedule+) Init for Windows can have as many startup list as you want (reg.version), allowing you to start all the files required for a project. But I prefer leave your imagination on its own to make the best use of this program. Please note that this program is not freeware ; it is shareware.
