TrayIcon Works Description

From Chris Doan: TrayIcon Works is a utility which displays the current month, day of the month, and date of the week in the System Tray of the Taskbar. You can select to display all these three items or any combination in any order you wish (ideal for foreign users who use different date format than the U.S standard). This comes in handy when you need to know the date immediately. Sure, you could leave the mouse over the digital clock in the lower right corner of the icon tray, and wait a couple of seconds, but I found it's not too convenient. It's nice to see the date/time at a glance any given time. The program allows you to launch programs at pre-detemined times. For example you can schedule a backup to run every night when the computer is idle. A perpetual calendar accessible with a single click from the system tray that displays 1-month, 3-month, or an entire year. You can define up to 9 different stylesets for the calendars (Holidays, Birthdays, Paydays, etc.) Up to 12 different pictures (BMP, ICO, or JPEG) can be assigned to each of the 12 months. The calendar module is available as an option. For those of you who frequently launch Dial-Up Networking icons such as AT&T WorldNet Service or CompuServe to establish an internet connection with your ISP (Internet Service Provider), you can even put your DUN icon in the system tray area and launch it with a single mouse click. TrayIcon Works also allows you to quickly launch Explorer from any folder of your choice or quickly open a DOS window (for those of you who are still nostalgic of the venerable DOS commands) with a single mouse click. You can further launch a default DOS command processor (COMMAND.COM) or any other shell (such as NDOS). Simply type the name of the desired command processor in the "Command Shell" boxor use the file list box to search for one. What else? with TrayIcon Works, you can instantly launch any screen saver or your default screen saver (in case you're away from your PC and want to invoke a password-protected screen saver so no one can peek at what you're doing...) with without having to wait for the elapsed time or move your mouse pointer to a certain position of the screen (certain screen savers allow you to position your mouse pointer at any of the 4 corners of the screen to instantly invoke the default screen saver). You can also put all your frequently used programs in the system tray for quick and easy access. A description is also provided with each of your programs so you can label them to your liking (this label will appear as a yellow tool tip when you hover the mouse over any of the program icons in the system tray). To change the icon for these programs, click on the icon icon to select any other icon you like (.ICO file). Everything is always right there and accessible with a single mouse click.
