THERE WERE NO RUN-TIME LIBRARIES INSTALLED WITH THIS PROGRAM, IT WAS
DONE BY DRAGGING AND DROPPING THE PROGRAM FILES INTO THE FOLDER, THEN
CREATING START MENU SHORTCUTS.

OVERVIEW
FastFolder by BB is a background program which allows quick access to
any of twelve pre-selected folders from the system tray. It provides
an easy way to navigate directories without requiring My Computer.
The code in this program is designed to use minimum system resources.
It is written in VB6, with all of the files loaded to one directory.
It creates a shortcut in the start menu\programs\startup directory to
make an automatic launch each time the program is started but removes
it each time it is selected closed. This lets the program 'remember'
its last state and resume on the next system boot-up.
Separate executable files handle larger external routines to preserve
system memory. To increase the number of folders, simple run multiple
instances and change the tray icon for each one. The icon is changed
from the CONFIGURATION form.
NO SECRET FILES
This program is a FREE full working version. It creates NO registry
keys nor makes any secret files. FastFolder by BB contains no Spyware
or AdWare, and is totally non-intrusive.
LICENSE
This program is copyright of Bernie Madigan, Sydney Australia, but
can be freely distributed, published on any media or uploaded to any
web site without seeking permission, provided no files are altered or
deleted.
Permission is given for the password to be published on sites and any
magazines that are not written in English. This will allow all users
to benefit from this program whether or not they understand this text
file.
OPERATION
Operation is self explanatory. When the program is running an icon is
visible in the system tray. Right click the icon to reveal the menus.
Select CONFIGURATION to set shortcuts to folders by first creating a
"friendly name" in the space provided. Next, double click the desired
folder in the folder list, then click "Set Path" to the friendly name
to complete the configuration. Select a default folder to open when
the tray icon is left clicked.
Clicking on any of the selected folders on the menu will open them.
Left clicking on the icon will open the default folder.
All information is stored in the file "FastFolder.ini" in the program
directory. There are no registry entries. Folders can be selected to
open in either Normal or Explore mode.
If a folder happens to be unavailable when selected (for example... a
removable disk), its menu name will become disabled. To re-enable it,
select REFRESH when the folder is available.
AUTOMATIC START
The program makes a 'startup' link on launching that will cause it to
start automatically on the next boot-up unless it has been previously
shut down. Whenever the program is closed down the link is removed so
that it will not automatically launch next time.
This also ensures the startup link is deleted on uninstalling it at a
later date, since the program must be shut down to remove it.
CHANGE BROWSER
By default, folders are opened by Explorer.exe. To change the default
browser, click 'CHANGE BROWSER' on the configuration form for further
instructions.
INSTALL/UNINSTALL INFORMATION
Installation was done by extracting the program files into the folder
of your choice. There were no run-time libraries installed in the zip
or changes to the registry. A log of any shortcuts created is kept in
Instal.log in this folder.
To uninstall this program just delete its folder and all of the files
within it, and any shortcuts on the Start Menu or Desktop, or use the
uninstaller.
