---- MCP Introduction ---------

Master Control Panel (MCP) is a program that
can help the beginner/advanced user for quick
access to Control Panel applets and can help
customize Windows. You can also optimize
HDD's, clear out unwanted data and files,
view what programs are running, customize

It can determine version, drive usage, delete
temporary files, and more!

ADITIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS IN MCP3
- Icons updated to conserve memory
- MCP3 can NOW be used as a single application.
This means that MCP3 does not rely on the taskbar
when minimized. You can either truly exit MCP3
or add it to the taskbar! When you choose either
options, the hint balloons will change as soon
as you start your selection!
- Instead of starting MCP3 by the Start Menu, you
can press CONTROL-ALT-E to bring up MCP3! Only
if you installed MCP3 correctly.
- More shortcut buttons for your customized Windows
needs!
- Start button changer updated! This can now operate
even under Windows 98 -first release version.
- Improved file searching methods.
- Improved temporary files deletion methods. MCP3
can now search for *.BAK, *.OLD, *.TMP, *.~MP
files!
- Improved 'What's Running' option. If the user
double clicks on the viewer where the programs
are running, MCP3 will close out ALL programs!
Of course, you may have to press F5 in some cases,
or just answer 'no' to Windows shut down process.
Some computers may have adverse effects.
- More security features. MCP3 can now do the
following:
Disable prompt, registry editing, hide all items
on desktop, disable drives, hide screensaver,
disable Network Neighborhood, and MORE!
- Other cosmetics either straight or re-designed.
- Custom installation NOW provided! Before MCP
build version HAD to be installed in the dir-
ctory of C:\ENCOM\MCP. Now, you can choose which
drive and directory to install into.
-------------------------------
---- MCP Installation ---------
-------------------------------
MCP must be installed via the installation program
provided. If not, MCP3 may not function correctly.
ALSO- if you are upgrading MCP, or replacing MCP-
Make sure you un-install ANY previous versions of
MCP first.
(1 way)
Insert the disk into drive A: or drive B:, and then
switch to that drive by typing A: or B:, and press-
ing ENTER. Or you can do this through My Computer.
Open My Computer - A: - then choose SETUP.EXE
(...another way)
( OR use the ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS in the Start->
Settings->Control Panel->Add/Remove Programs applet)
Then type SETUP.EXE and press ENTER.
(...Another way)
Choose Start->Run->Type in 'A:\SETUP.EXE'.
(NOTE:) If you already have an earlier version of
Master Control Panel, go ahead and un-
install it.
--------------------------------
---- Operating MCP -------------
--------------------------------
(Brief)
MCP is pretty easy to use! Just click on the
appropiate buttons to get into certain config-
uration applets via Control Panel. Also, if
you do not know what the items do, hold your mouse
over the button and a balloon helper will explain
what the button or item is.
Changes will not be applied unless you change it.
When MCP starts up, you will see a splash screen.
Then MCP will be sent to the taskbar tray at the
lower right corner- if configured to do to so.
You CAN get MCP to run as a single application.
(Let's say MCP is used in the taskbar tray):
By clicking the LEFT MOUSE button, you can enable
MCP operations. One RIGHT CLICK on the icon will
deactivate MCP and exit out the program for good.
When MCP is active, there will be a CLOSE button at
the right upper corner. This button is the button
to minimize MCP and tuck it away for further use.
Only right clicking the icon at the taskbar will
de-activate MCP.
There are also a series of other buttons on tabbed
pages that react when the user clicks on them. If
you place your mouse cursor on the buttons, a
help balloon will pop up explaining what each
button represents. Activating the buttons launch
the things specified in the buttons' caption.
Operation MCP is pretty straight forward.
If there are any questions, please write to enCOM
below.
(Step)
To operate MCP, click on START->PROGRAMS->ENCOM
SYSWARE->MCP. The quick and easiest way is press
CONTROL-ALT-E to bring MCP3 up.
When MCP starts up, you will see a splash screen
for about 2 to 3 seconds. This means MCP was is
ready and ready to function.
TASKBAR OPTION IN MCP3
At the Start Menu taskbar tray, you will see the MCP
icon. Click with your left button to activate- or
right click to de-activate MCP.
SINGLE APPLICATION CONFIG IN MCP3
MCP3 will be running until you click the CLOSE button.
MCP3 then will exit out fully.
When MCP is active, it is very easy to operate it.
If you leave the mouse cursor over the buttons-
a little help balloon will pop up to let you
know what you can do.
Clicking the EXIT button at the top will only
minimize MCP.
----------------------------------------
---- MCP Technical Support -------------
----------------------------------------
enCOM has a web page for Technical Support. This
will keep those who need assistance in the MCP pro-
gram. The best thing is to keep checking in on the
page to look for the latest updates, patches, bugs
or compatibility. This goes especially for the
Start Button changer- since Windows 95 or 98
constantly changes in release versions.
* MCP cannot be operated in Windows NT.
----------------------------------------
---- Software Registration ----------

keeps programmers making more apps and
utils! It helps put food on the table
