-
- NotifyMe is a simple yet powerful messaging system for the Windows desktop.
- It will run on Windows 3.x, Windows 95, and Windows NT. NotifyMe displays as
- a non obtrusive marquee which scrolls across the bottom or top of the screen.
- It is most useful when installed on a LAN drive and executed by many users.
- Athough it may be used as a simple reminder system on a stand alone PC.
-
- Some Basic Features of NotifyMe include:
- * User's may subscribe to message files or may be forced to view message files.
- * The Message Editor makes it easy to specify the priority of a message and
- when the message is to be displayed. Athough message files do not have to be
- created using the Message Editor. For example a productivity statistics message
- file may be created by a program and statistics automatically displayed on the
- user's desktop.
- * User's may set their own preferences as to how NotifyMe will notify them when
- a new message is displayed based on the new message's priority.
- * User's may also choose the font and size of the message as well as how fast the
- message scrolls and foreground and background color of the message window.
-
- Basic interface Tips:
- * Click the RIGHT mouse button on the scrolling message to display the popup menu.
- * Click the LEFT mouse button on the scrolling message to discontinue notification
- of a new message.
- * Hold down the LEFT mouse button on the scrolling message to stop the message
- from scrolling until you release the LEFT mouse button.
- * Double click the LEFT mouse button on the scrolling message to minimize the window.
-
- Who can edit messages:
- * I suggest that you handle who can update message files by utilizing the file
- security mechanism designed into your network operating system. So a user may be
- able to open a message file but the write of any changes would fail on the server
- if you only give the user read access to the files in the NotifyMe directory.
- * To prevent the Message Editor from being available to a specific user you can
- set CantEditMsgs=1 in the [NotifyMe] section of the user's win.ini file.
