  Installation:

 1. Put trayexp.exe in any folder and run it from there.
 2. VB Runtime Files are required. You may download these 
    files from the Internet at various locations if you 
    do not already have them on your system.

  Introduction:

 Tray Explore v1.00 was written as freeware for use by those that intend 
to use this software for personal use. I had seen other small applications 
out there that do about the same thing as Tray Explore does, but they had 
either messy interfaces, ugly icons, and would not let you specify how 
you would like for Windows Explorer to be run: Normal, Minimized, or 
Maximized. Therefore, I created Tray Explore so that I could have an 
application with all of the attributes that I was looking for. This program 
has grown to be so useful that I have placed it specifically in my Windows 
registry so that it will run every time I turn on my computer.
 Version 1.10 was written to fix a couple of bugs which prevented a number 
of people from being able to successfully run Tray Explore due to 
misconfigurations with their windows setup.
 Version 1.30 significantly made it possible for everyone who owns and 
operates a computer with Windows 95 to be able to have Tray Explore run 
correctly on their system. In the past, many people have installed 
Windows 95 into a different directory other than \Windows\ and Tray Explore 
versions 1.00 and 1.10 looked in that directory for explorer.exe; version 
1.30 is compatible with any Windows 95 system directory. In other words, 
a major bug has been fixed! Also, due to the work of having to create a 
shortcut and manually place it in the startup menu or running an installation 
program which does this, I added a "run Tray Explore on startup" feature so 
that only a check box will tell Tray Explore whether or not to run upon 
startup of Windows. Let's not leave out those people who wanted to run 
Windows Explorer with parameters; Tray Explore is now able to do this!
 This is the Final Version of Tray Explore.  After having recieved bug 
reports from verious people and figuring out better ways to improve upon 
the code, I have finished the code for this program and am proud to offer 
it to the public in its completed version.

 Features of v1.00:

 + Places icon in the System Tray
 + Left click the icon to run Windows Explorer
 + Right click the icon for a simple popup menu
 + Place in your Startup Folder so it will always be available!
 + You choose how you want Explorer to be run

 Added/Fixed in v1.10:

 + Fixed "File Not Found" bug
 + Fixed configuration problems with ini file
 + Tray Explorer will now work if run in a different drive than 
   where your Windows folder is located

 Added/Fixed in v1.30:

 + Fixed bug concerning locating the "windows" directory; Tray Explore 
   now automatically finds your system directory and runs Windows 
   Explorer from there.
 + Added Parameters Option where you may run explorer via Tray Explore 
   with any known parameters that you wish to use
 + Tray Explore now runs a little faster than before due to a decrease 
   in programming code
 + Startup option added so that you can choose whether or not you want for 
   Tray Explore to automatically run as if it were in the Startup Menu

 Added/Fixed in Final:

 + Fixed creation of excess temp files in Windows Temp Directory.
 + Reduced more programming code
 + Reduced the size of the program in kilobytes so that it would 
   be more easily available for download over the Internet.
