Thank you.


C. Deinstallation

If you want to uninstall the programs, delete the folder containing the 
programs, delete the file 'Autoenh.INI' in your windows directory, delete 
the program group in the 'Start' menu and delete the link to 'AutoStart 
Enhancer run module' in your 'Startup' folder. 


D. Program descriptions

D.1. 'Planner'

Use 'Planner' to create day- and time- plans for all the programs you want 
to be started automatically at system start. You can get more information 
on the various options by using the 'Help...' option.

D.2. 'AutoStart Enhancer run module'

This is the module that checks whether programs should be executed and 
executes them when it is time. Needs to be in the 'Startup' folder.


E. Windows 95 and Windows 3.x compatibility

The programs were developed and tested under Windows 95 using a 16bit 
compiler. Officially, they should run without any problems under 
Windows 3.x as well. Since in the last time some problems with downward 
compatibility of 16bit programs developed under Windows 95 occurred, it 
may be possible that some dialogs or windows look a bit strange when you 
run the programs under Windows 3.x. Please excuse this and report any 
detected bugs to the author. Thank you.
