GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
ExitWin 3.1a - A simple but very elegant utility that makes leaving
Windows as easy as one click! ExitWin will exit Windows, exit
and re-start Windows, exit and run a DOS app or exit and reboot
quickly with one click, two clicks or HotKey press configurable
from the settings menu. To exit Windows and run a DOS app, drag a DOS app
from file manager or an NDW drive window and drop it on the Exit sign (see
note below). Other settings include Always On Top (CTRL+T)
of all running apps, Lock Current Position (CTRL+L), Confirm Exit and
hide or show settings button. Use Select Sound File to configure
ExitWin to play a standard .wav file at exit (GLASS.WAV is included). The
Use Sound menu selection turns the selected sound on and off. To move
ExitWin around your screen, drag it by the green and white EXIT sign
(Lock Position must be off). ExitWin will remember it's last screen position.
Use Set Password to password protect the exit to DOS and settings menu.
Password must be composed of the numbers 1 to 9 and may be up to eight
characters in length. Clicking on the Exit sign or minimized icon with
the right mouse button will activate the settings menu. Press F3 to
minimize or return program to normal size. Shareware. Requires VBRUN300.DLL
not included.
*Running a DOS application*
This feature is useful if you need to exit windows to run a DOS application or game
that does not behave well in a DOS box. Drag the .exe or .com file from file manager
or equivalent and drop it on the Exit sign. NOT ALL DOS APPS WILL RUN IN THIS WAY. If
the app won't run this way all you will see is an error message and Windows will
immediately restart.
*Password Security*
One of the features of ExitWin is the ability to password protect the
exit to DOS and settings menu. You can enter these items in PROGMAN.INI to
achieve control over what the user can do with program manager. This was taken
from the Windows Resource Kit documentation page 221.
NoRun=1 will disable the Run command on the file menu.
NoClose=1 will not allow users to exit Windows from program manager
NoSaveSettings=1 disables save settings on exit option
NoFileMenu=1 removes the file menu from program manager
Setting the entry to 0 will enable the item.
This is the syntax for the entries:
[restrictions]
NoRun=1
NoClose=1
NoSaveSettings=1
NoFileMenu=1
