Folders Program
Version 2.1
(c)Copyrigh 1991 Sloop Software
The folders program adds depth to the Program Manager groups. It gives the
ability equivalent to having groups within groups. Each folder can hold
any type of file you decide to place in it, including more folders.
Features include:
- Add any type of item to a folder
- Move or copy items from folder to folder
- Launch your applications directly from a folder
- Customizable command lines for any item
- Icon representation of items in folder
- Tie two or more folders to the same subfolder
- No limit on nesting folders within folders
Changes from Version 2.0
- Only one copy of a particular folder may now be open at a time.
Double-clicking on the folder icon or using the Open command on a
folder already open will make the folder selected the active window,
even if iconized. It will not reopen the folder.
- Group level folders are now created so their icon may be changed by
simply going to the Change Icon menu of the Properties command and
selecting View Next. Previously, it was necessary to replace the
file name in the Change Icon dialog with FOLDERS.EXE.
- Subfolders will now always appear starting in the lower-left hand
corner of the folder.
*********************************************************************
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you have already installed a previous version of
Folders, you do not need to re-install the new version. Instead,
simply copy FOLDERS.EXE and FOLDERS.HLP over the old version files.
Do not copy over your FOLDERS.INI file.
*********************************************************************
*********************************************************************
ANOTHER IMPORTANT NOTE: Versions after 2.0 numbered 2.x are only
maintenance versions. They do not include the new features specified
in FOLDERS.WRI. Version 3.0 is the one that will include these new
features. It is also the version registered users will receive as
their free upgrade.

Installation:
1. Copy the files FOLDERS.EXE, FOLDERS.HLP and FOLDERS.INI to your
windows directory.
2. Run FINSTALL and follow its directions. Note that if your windows
directory is not on the C drive or is not named windows, you will
get an error message. Simply click on CANCEL to continue the
install procedure.
3. That's it. Your are now ready to start getting organized.
If this installation process should fail, follow the directions for
manual install found in FOLDERS.WRI.
Getting Started:
1. Once the program is installed, open your first folder.
2. You can rename it, if you want, using the name command under the FILE
menu. Be sure and rename it in the program group, too.
3. From this folder, or any folder you create, you can make new folders.
Simply choose new from the FILE menu. You can create subfolders or
new group level folders such as this first folder.
4. Create whatever folders you want and add items to them using the
add command from the EDIT menu. For detail information on each
command, use either the help menu or read FOLDERS.WRI.
5. A word of warning on creating new folders. Each folder needs to have
a unique name. Lower or upper case makes no difference.
