WinExit v1.1 Copyright ©1990 by Howard Silver CompuServ - 76675,3476 (for Windows 3.0 or higher) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, this is one of those simple little programs that can make life a little easier. The purpose of this program is simply to allow you to double-click on an icon and shutdown Windows. This I found to be easier than going through Program Manager. You can just simply exit Windows, or configure it to display a dialog box asking you if you really want to exit. This is similar to what you get from Program Manager. BUT DON'T WORRY!. This method of closing down Windows is the same way Program Manager does it. So no work will be lost. For example, let's say you have EXCEL running with a spreadsheet you just created or modified, but haven't saved yet. EXCEL (and all running programs) will get notified by Windows that it is closing down, so you have a chance to save your work. **************************************************************************** NEW FOR VERSION 1.1 : For added flexibility, version 1.1 or WinExit can now be executed from Program Manager. Just define WinExit in any folder with something (ANYTHING!) on the command line. Then when you double-click on the EXIT icon, it will shutdown Windows. **************************************************************************** ======================================== ================================ ======================== ================ To install WinExit, just add it to the LOAD= line in your WIN.INI file. The program is setup to only allow one instance of itself. I didn't see a point to have two running. WinExit's system menu has 3 new options. The first is the menu equivilent of double-clicking the icon. At the bottom of the menu is the ABOUT box and the EXIT DIALOG BOX option. The EXIT DIALOG BOX option is a toggle. If this is toggled on (a checkmark will appear), when you double-click a dialog box will appear asking you if you really want to exit. This setting is saved in the WIN.INI file under the keyword [WinExit]. I would like to here your opinions and suggestions on WinExit. I am releasing this program in public domain. **************************************************************************** Version history: version 1.0 - First release version 1.1 - Added ability to run WinExit from Program Manager **************************************************************************** Howard Silver 76675,3476 ----------------end-of-author's-documentation--------------- Software Library Information: This disk copy provided as a service of The Public (Software) Library We are not the authors of this program, nor are we associated with the author in any way other than as a distributor of the program in accordance with the author's terms of distribution.
