                                   Summary
                                  =========

Protect your downloads, tape backups, faxes, CD-ROM recordings; secure
your workstation.  Let your screen saver run when and only when you want
it to!  Highly configurable, ScrnSaveSwitch/Plus gives you the fastest
and most complete control possible over your Windows screen saver and
Win95 display power saving modes.  A click to a taskbar icon or a small
button bar, or a quick keypress, lets you enable, disable, start, or
configure your screen saver.  You can also set the screen saver delay in
one second (rather than one minute) increments, and automatically
disable password entry during screen saver preview.  Command line
interface for use with program schedulers.  It also provides quick and
safe methods to log off, shut down or restart your computer.

There's lots more:  see the Help file for more information.

                                ==============
                                 Installation
                                ==============

1.  Move or copy SSSWITCH.EXE, SSSW16.DLL, SSSW32.DLL, and SSSWITCH.HLP
    into a new or existing directory.  (Note:  the DLLs are not present
    in the NT/DEC Alpha version.)
2.  Win95 or NT 4.0:  Add a shortcut to SSSWITCH.EXE to your Start Menu.
         The "StartUp" folder is a good place to add it.
    Win NT 3.51:  Add the SSSWITCH icon to your Windows NT Program Manager
         (File/New/Program Item...).  "StartUp" is a good program group
         to add it to.

                               ================
                                Uninstallation
                               ================

1.  Delete the above files from your hard drive.
2.  Delete the SSSWITCH.INI file from your Windows directory.
3.  Delete the SSSWITCH icon from Program Manager or Start Menu.

                                  =========

                          ==========================
                           Why ScrnSaveSwitch/Plus?
                          ==========================

* So programs run correctly:

    Not all software behaves correctly if the screen saver suddenly comes
    on.  Clicking the "screen" icon is a simple and convenient way to
    protect your downloads, tape backups, faxes, CD-ROM recording, etc.

    Also, many screen savers require a lot of processor power, which can
    drastically slow down other programs.

* Security:

    If your screen saver is password-protected, a quick click of the "S"
    Button or a Hot Key shortcut starts the screen saver immediately and
    lets you leave your workstation without fear of others’ prying.

* So you can work:

    Your computer can't tell whether you're reading what's on the screen,
    attending to another matter, or fast asleep!  It's all "inactivity" as
    far as the computer is concerned - but it can be an annoying
    interruption to you.

    Windows 95's "hot corners" are OK, as long as you remember to keep
    your mouse there.  They shoulda done it this way!
    Also, Win95's "hot corners" do not disable display monitor power
    saving modes!


+ Plus - The "Windows Exit..." utilities:

    Many programs (including Windows itself) never release the memory or
    other system resources they acquire.  The only way to make those
    resources available again is to quit Windows and then restart it.
    Sometimes a whole reboot is required to restore a system to "normal"!
    These utilities make that reinitialization safe, simple, fast and
    keyboard-free.
