                                   Summary
                                  =========

Protect your downloads, tape backups, and faxes; secure your workstation.
Let your screen saver run when and only when you want it to!  Highly
configurable, ScrnSaveSwitch/Plus gives you the fastest and most complete
control possible over your Windows screen saver.  A click to a small button
on your desktop lets you enable, disable, start, or configure your screen
saver.  You can set the screen saver delay in one second (rather than 1
min.) increments.  It also provides quick and safe methods to log off,
shut down or restart Windows or your computer.

There's lots more:  see the hypertext Help file for more information.

                                ==============
                                 Installation
                                ==============

1.  Move or copy SSSWITCH.EXE, SSSRST16.EXE, and SSSWITCH.HLP into a new
    or existing directory.
2.  Win95 or NT 4.0:  Add SSSWITCH to your Start Menu.  The "StartUp"
         folder is a good place to add it.
    Win NT 3.51:  Add the SSSWITCH icon to your Windows NT Program Manager
         (File/New/Program Item...).  "StartUp" is a good program group
         to add it to.

                               ================
                                Uninstallation
                               ================

1.  Delete the above files from your hard drive.
2.  Delete the SSSWITCH.INI file from your Windows directory.
3.  Delete the SSSWITCH icon from Program Manager or Start Menu.

                          ==========================
                           Why ScrnSaveSwitch/Plus?
                          ==========================

* So programs run correctly:

    Not all software behaves correctly if the screen saver suddenly 
    comes on.  Clicking the green dot Button to red is a simple and 
    convenient way to protect your downloads, tape backups, faxes, etc.

    Also, many screen savers require a lot of processor power, which
    can drastically slow down other programs.

* Security:

    If your screen saver is password-protected, a quick click of the "S" 
    Button starts the screen saver immediately and lets you leave your 
    workstation without fear of others' prying.

* So you can work:

    Your computer can't tell whether you're reading what's on the 
    screen, attending to another matter, or fast asleep!  It's all 
    "inactivity" as far as the computer is concerned - but it can be an 
    annoying interruption to you.

    Windows 95's "sleep corners" are OK, as long as you remember to keep
    your mouse there.  (They shoulda done it this way!)


+ Plus - The "Windows Exit" utilities:

    Many programs (including Windows itself!) never release the memory
    resources they acquire.  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
    utilities make that reinitialization safe, simple, fast and
    keyboard-free.
