Calmira Desktop Icons Menu
==============================
Beta version

About two months ago, I finally(!) decided to learn computer programming during my spare time.  Thank God that now, I am releasing my very first ever computer program.  It is a small utility program intended for use with Calmira that provides a menu for opening Calmira Desktop Icons from the Taskbar.  The program adds all Calmira Desktop Icons to its System menu so the user just needs to click-right on this program's button on the taskbar and choose from the menu.  It can also Minimize all open windows (including Calmira windows), Tile open windows on the Desktop (including Calmira windows and Windows Help files) and start the Screensaver.  Both the Minimize windows and Tile windows are provided in separate *.exe files.


Requirements:
-------------
PC running DOS & W3X/WFW3X & Calmira.


Installation:
-------------
Simply decompress the executables DESKMENU.EXE (main prog), MINIMIZE.EXE and TILEWIN.EXE  to any directory in your Hard Disk.  Either create an entry for DESKMENU.EXE in Calmira StartUp folder or add it to the Taskbar Tray area or do both.  If you don't need the Desktop Icons menu but needs the Minimize all windows and/or Tile windows, you may add MINIMIZE.EXE and/or TILEWIN.EXE to the taskbar tray and give MINIMIZE.EXE a description of 'Show Desktop' (like in W98).  If you are a 'keyboard guy' like me, you may want to add MINIMIZE.EXE and TILEWIN.EXE to the first-level of the Start Menu so that you can simply press WIN+M keys to minimize all windows (like in W95) and WIN+T keys to tile windows on the desktop (unlike W95).


Usage:
------
First, make sure that the Calmira Taskbar option 'Show real system menus over taskbar buttons' is checked.  If Desktop icons menu was added into the Taskbar tray but not in the StartUp folder of the Start Menu, click it's icon once to activate it and from then on, just click-right on it's icon to display the menu whenever you want to open any Desktop Shortcut.  If it was added to the StartUp folder but not to the Taskbar Tray, simply click-right on it's Task button on the Taskbar to open the Desktop Shortcuts menu.  If it was added to both Taskbar Tray and StartUp folder of the Start Menu, click-right on it's icon on the Tray to display the Desktop Shortcuts menu.
