- This utility will start an application from the Windows(tm) Program Manager on
- any start-up subdirectory using only a single Icon. Use any ASCII editor to
- create an application specific file with extension .pii (e.g.) WORD.PII.
- Make the first line of that file the Title for the Dialog Box. Make the
- second line the path and name of the application. Fill the third up to the
- tenth lines with paths to start-up directories you use.(e.g.).
-
- LINE 1: MICROSOFT WORD 5.0 (Title for Dialog Box)
- LINE 2: C:\WORD\WORD (Path and name of application)
- LINE 3: C:\WORD\DOCUMENTS1 (A start-up directory)
- LINES 4-10 .................. (Other start-up directories)
-
- Next place the command PIFHELP path\filename.PII in the Icon's
- Properties... box. When you double click the associated Icon, PIF HELPER will
- execute and wait for you to specify a start-up subdirectory, move to that
- subdirectory and start your Program. The most recently used or last start-up
- subdirectory is placed in the editbox. The others are placed in the
- Alternatives listbox. Clicking on the Goto Button will launch the application.
- Click on a path in the List Box to move it to the Edit Box. PIF HELPER will
- also create new sub-directories, update, and maintain your .pii file.
