ScrnSaveSwitch/Plus
             Windows Screen Saver On/Off Switch
                        Version 1.30
                 for Microsoft Windows 3.1+
            c 1994-95 AWS (Aaron Writes Software)
                              
ScrnSaveSwitch/Plus lets you enable or disable your Windows
screen saver with a single mouse-click to a small button on
your desktop.  It also lets you start your screen saver
immediately, and to set the screen saver delay in one second
(rather than one minute) increments.  Finally, it provides
methods for you to restart your Windows session, to safely
close Windows and reboot your machine, or to exit to DOS
without the pesky "This will end your Windows session"
OK/Cancel query.

How To Use The Switch:

     Run the program using Windows' Program Manager or File
  Manager.  The small ScrnSaveSwitch/Plus Button will appear
  in the lower right corner of your screen.
     A green dot means that the Windows screen saver is
  enabled and will start after a period of inactivity.  A
  red dot means that the screen saver is disabled and will
  not start.
     Click the ScrnSaveSwitch/Plus Button with the left mouse-
  button to switch between enabled and disabled modes.

Activating The Menu:

     Activate the menu by clicking the ScrnSaveSwitch/Plus
  Button with the right mouse-button.  The menu contains
  the following options:

     Run screen saver:   Starts the screen saver
          immediately.
     Screen saver settings:   Allows you to enable or
          disable the screen saver, set its delay in seconds
          (Windows' Control Panel only allows 1 minute
          increments), and to make these settings permanent
          (by saving them to WIN.INI).
     Button position:   Allows you to place the
          ScrnSaveSwitch/Plus Button in one of six screen
          positions (one of the four corners, top center or
          bottom center).  Also offers "Arrow move" to allow
          you to position the Button anywhere:  click "Arrow
          move" (the cursor becomes a four-way arrow), press
          an arrow key, then reposition the Button using the
          mouse and/or the arrow keys.  Press Enter or click
          the left mouse-button to establish the Button's
          position (works the same as a regular window's
          Move command).
     Always On Top:   Toggles whether the ScrnSaveSwitch/Plus
          Button always appears above all other windows.  If
          this item is checked, the ScrnSaveSwitch/Plus
          Button will appear above all other windows.

          ScrnSaveSwitch/Plus.
     About:    Displays version and shareware registration
          information for ScrnSaveSwitch/Plus.
     Windows Utilities:   Allows you to restart your Windows
          session, to exit Windows and return to DOS, or to
          exit Windows and reboot your computer.  [See "Why
          ScrnSaveSwitch/Plus" below for some reasons for
          doing this.]
     Exit:     Removes the Button from the screen, and
          restores the most recent permanent screen saver
          settings.

Notes:

     ScrnSaveSwitch/Plus will have no effect with screen
  savers not installed into Windows Control Panel /
  Desktop.
     No screen saver will activate if ScrnSaveSwitch/Plus
  enables screen saving but Windows' Control Panel has no
  screen saver specified (i.e., Screen Saver Name =
  "(None)".)
     For more information about Windows screen savers,
  consult your Windows documentation.

System Requirements:

     Microsoft Windows version 3.1 or higher.

Why ScrnSaveSwitch/Plus?

     Sometimes you want your screen saver enabled, sometimes
  you don't.  Some programs (including certain tape backup
  applications) may not run correctly if the screen saver
  activates.  The unobtrusive ScrnSaveSwitch/Plus Button
  allows you to switch back and forth with a minimum of
  trouble.
     I like my screen saver to have a short delay and
  password protection for security.  Not, however, while
  I'm working.  I wanted a simple button to enable/disable
  the screen saver rather than to have to go into Control
  Panel/Desktop.
     The "Windows Utilities" (Restart Windows, Exit Windows,
  Reboot machine) are helpful because many programs never
  release the resources they acquire and the only way to
  make those resources available again is to quit Windows
  and then restart it.  Sometimes a whole reboot is
  required to restore a system to "normal"!  These methods
  make that reinitialization safe, simple, fast and
  keyboard-free.  (By the way, they also let you bypass the
  "This will end your Windows session" OK/Cancel query.)
