- as you start your selection!

-
-
- -------------------------------

- --------------------------------
- ---- 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.
-

- 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.
