SaveSet
---------
Version 1.00
--------------
Copyright (c) 1990 by David A. Feinleib.
------------------------------------------
Introduction
------------
SaveSet allows you to cause the "Save Settings" Check
Box that appears when you exit Windows to be automatically
un-checked or checked.
Basically: Every so often, I want to change the window
arrangement in the Program Manager. When this is the
case, I check the "Save Settings" box and exit Windows.
I run Windows again and open up some windows in the
Program Manager to run some applications. When I'm
all done, I exit Windows, forgeting to uncheck
the "Save Setting" box. This means I have to
go back into Windows, re-arrange the windows in
the Program Manager, and so on.
Saveset lets you check the "Save Settings" box once
but the next time you run Windows, it automatically
unchecks the box.
If you have ever had experiences like this,
SaveSet is the program you need.
Using SaveSet
-------------
SaveSet must be placed on the line that says
load=
in your win.ini file. SaveSet defaults to un-checking the
"Save Settings" check box. After you run SaveSet once
(by running Windows), you may edit the line in your win.ini
file that says "SaveSettings" in the "[SaveSet]" section.
Type
SaveSettings=1
to have SaveSet check the "Save Settings" check box.
Type
SaveSettings=0
to have SaveSet un-check the "Save Settings" check box.
Note that you may also change SaveSet's setting by
running SaveSet on the DOS command line with an ON or
OFF, TRUE or FALSE, or 1 or 0 option.
For example, to un-check the check box, you would run
Windows by typing:
WIN SAVESET OFF
from the DOS command line.

Pos Pos displays the mouse cursor position in relation
to the screen (screen coordinates) and in relation
to the window which has the input focus. Pos makes
a good addition to the Windows Software Development
Kit and is also useful when selecting monitor
resolutions. It was originally developed to
allow the user to move the mouse cursor to screen
positions ahead of time. In addition, Pos
can display the dimensions of a window.
RunProg RunProg allows you to run a program at a preset
size. This means that you could, for example,
always run PaintBrush maximized.
ChCursor If you find that you sometimes lose track of the
mouse cursor on the screen, ChangeCursor will
allow you to press the right mouse button to
highlight the cursor. Other features include the
ability to position the cursor in the center of
the screen with a click of the right mouse button,
and the ability to hide the cursor when you start
typing and then have it displayed again when the
mouse is moved.
Lock Lock is a keyboard lock and screen saver. It will
automatically lock the keyboard after a certain
time.
Click Click will produce a keyboard "click". This is
especially useful to those users who have used
a keyboard click for DOS but have been unable to
find one for MS Windows. The duration and
pitch of the click may be easily changed by the
user.

form of Chinese Checkers. (Hop can undo moves and
solve the puzzle automatically, if you want it to.)

1.2Mb, and 1.44Mb disks.
DlFile
(with DirSrch) DlFile goes through your disk directories looking
for the filespec you specify. If found, it prompts
to delete it. This is very convenient for finding
and deleting "*.BAK".

in your computer and the amount free. It displays
information about extended memory if you have
it in your computer.
