INTRODUCTION:
-------------
QuickRun is a simple program that will allow you to quickly run your .exe,
.bat and .pif files. One of the great things about this program is that it
will remain hidden until you move the mouse cursor to the lower left corner
of your screen, you can change to other corners, and the program will popup
once installed. This may come in handy at times when you really need to run
something quick because you can keep QuickRun hidden on your desktop until
you need it for something.
OPTIONS:
--------
You can run QuickRun with command options that will modify the default
activation corner for QuickRun, to do this you use the command line:
QRUN30.EXE followed by either UL, UR or LL which will configure QuickRun
to activate from the Upper Left corner with the UL command, the Upper Right
corner for the UR command or the Lower Left corner with the LL switch, for
example QRUN30 LL will launch the program with the hot spot being in the
lower left corner of the Windows desktop. You don't have to specify an
option because QuickRun defaults to the lower right corner.
USING THE PROGRAM:
------------------
First you must bring the program up by moving your mouse to the lower left
corner of the screen, even when you have another program that is full screen
or covering that portion of the screen. Once you have brought the program
up, you can hide it again by clicking on the minimize button located in the
upper right side of the form. To run a file you must first find it using the
drive, directory and file selection boxes and then either double-click on
the filename or select the file from the list and click the command button
labeled RUN and the file will be launched.
You can determine whether the program starts out Normal, Minimized or
Maximized by selecting your choice using the buttons located in the upper
right corner of the form.
You can also include command line switches in the text box located in the
lower part of the form if your program needs it.
Selecting the ABOUT command will popup a small box with information about
the program.
If you wish to exit this program then select the command button labeled EXIT
and termination will begin.
One more thing I included in the program is the ability to change the bold
attribute of the font that is used in the information boxes simply by double
clicking anywhere on the window and the bold attribute will then be changed
back and forth.
