DROPKICK (VERSION 1.0) Copyright (c) 1995, Douglas Boling ------------------------------------------------------------------------- First Published in PC Magazine February 22, 1995 (Utilities) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- DROPKICK by Douglas Boling PURPOSE: DropKick is a Windows 3.1 utility that launches programs with the click of a mouse button. Just click on an empty spot on the desktop to bring up a user-configurable menu containing your favorite programs. Selecting a menu item causes DropKick to launch the program quickly and easily. SETUP: To install DropKick, simply copy the files DKICK.EXE and DKDLL.DLL to a directory on your hard disk. Launch DropKick by selecting the File|Run menu item in Program Manager. After the DropKick window is displayed, click on the Add button to add programs to the pop up menu. You can also add programs to the menu by dragging and dropping them from File Manager to the DropKick window. If a nonexecutable file is added to the menu, DropKick will query Program Manager for a valid association for the file. REMARKS: The default setting for DropKick is to pop-up when the right mouse button is clicked on the desktop. To change the mouse button, click on the Configure button in the DropKick menu. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Douglas Boling is a contributing editor of PC Magazine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
