 Win Multiple Configurations

JRE Enterprises presents Win Multiple Configurations for Windows 3.1.

 WMCSAVE Program

The WMCSAVE program is used to save configuration information.  The current windows configuration should be saved with WMCSAVE before attempting to create and save different window configurations.  WMCSAVE allows up to eight configurations to be saved.  Any time the SYSTEM.INI file, the WIN.INI file, or the Program Manager desktop changes, WMCSAVE should be invoked to store the changes in the appropriate configuration entry.

WMCSAVE easily saves different desktop, SYSTEM.INI, and/or WIN.INI configurations.  These configurations entries can be restored by running program WMCSTRT, which should be placed in the StartUp group.

WMCSAVE requires that Program Manager is the Windows shell program, that Save Settings is enabled (program.ini, [Restrictions],NoSaveSettings=0), and that Save Settings is off (program.ini,[Settings],SaveSettings=0).  Appropriate messages are issued if these requirements are not met.

Registered users are able to add passwords to any saved configuration.  This allows the securing of programs and/or data against accidental access.

 Customize Options Window

The customize options window appears after an entry has been selected by clicking with the left mouse button on the entry's picture.  Five options can be chosen on this window.  These options are:  Save the current windows configuration now, Save windows configuration on switch, Add a text description for the entry, Change the graphic/picture for the entry, and/or Add a password for the entry (registered users only).

Checking the "Save the current windows configuration now" option will save the current desktop, all ini files and group file in the windows directory, when the Process key is pressed.

Checking the "Save windows configuration on switch" option will save the current desktop, all ini files and group file in the windows directory, everytime a user switches from using this desktop entry to using a different desktop entry with program WMCSTRT.  This desktop entry will be kept up-to-date automatically.  If a group changes or WIN.INI is changed while using this desktop entry, those changes will be saved automatically to the desktop entry.  Otherwise, the user will need to manually save the desktop, using WMCSAVE, anytime a desktop change occurs.

Checking the "Add a text description" option allows the user to add/change the text description for this desktop entry.

Checking the "Change the graphic/picture" option allows the user to change the picture being used for this desktop entry.

Checking the "Add a password" option allows the user to add/change/delete a password for this desktop entry.  This option is available to registered users only.

Select an option by clicking on the option until a "X" (check) appears in its box.  When all options needed have been checked, press the Process key to do the options.  Press the Cancel key to exit without doing any options.

 WMCSTRT Program

The WMCSTRT program is used to restore a saved configuration.  WMCSTRT should be placed in the StartUp group or in the WIN.INI RUN= line.  WMCSTRT should be positioned so it is the first program to run when windows is started.

If there are active configuration entries when WMCSTRT runs, WMCSTRT will display a configuration selection window.  If there are no active configuration entries when WMCSTRT runs, WMCSTRT will end without displaying a configuration selection window.

WMCSTRT requires that Program Manager is the Windows shell program.  If this is not the case, an appropriate message is issued.  If Save Settings is on (program.ini,[Settings],SaveSettings=1), WMCSTRT will turn Save Settings off.

WMCSTRT will accept two command line switches: /d and /n.  The '/d' switch causes WMCSTRT to always display the configuration selection window, unless there are no active configuration entries.  Do NOT use '/d' when WMCSTRT is in the StartUp group as WMCSTRT will not work properly.  Do use '/d' when WMCSTRT is in any other group, otherwise WMCSTRT will display the configuration selection window on every other run of WMCSTRT.  The '/n' switch lets the user exit WMCSTRT without selecting a configuration entry.  Without the '/n' switch, WMCSTRT takes complete control of Windows and does not allow exit until a configuration entry is selected.

WMCSAVE is the counter-part to WMCSTRT.  WMCSAVE easily saves different desktop, SYSTEM.INI, and/or WIN.INI configurations.

Registered users are able to add passwords to any saved configuration.  This allows the securing of programs and/or data against accidental access.

 WMCSTRT Main Window

Clicking with the left mouse button on any of the active entries (pictures) will restore that configuration and then reboot windows to enable the restored configuration.  If the entry selected was the configuration entry last used by windows, then no rebooting is done.  If an enry is password protected, a prompt for the password is done.  If the password entered is correct, then the configuration entry is restored.  A total of three trys are allowed to enter the correct current password for the configuration entry.

If the Make Inactive Entries Visible flag is on, all entries are displayed, even inactive ones.  Clicking on inactive entries has no effect.  If the Make Inactive Entries Visible flag is off, only active entries are displayed.
