                                   Summary
                                  =========

Protect your downloads, tape backups, and faxes; secure your workstation.
Let your screen saver run when and only when you want it to!  Highly
configurable, ScrnSaveSwitch/Plus gives you the fastest and most complete
control possible over your Windows screen saver.  A click to a small button
on your desktop lets you enable, disable, start, or configure your screen
saver.  You can set the screen saver delay in one second (rather than 1
min.) increments.  It also provides quick methods to restart your Windows
session, to safely close Windows and reboot your machine, or to exit to DOS
without the pesky "This will end your Windows session" OK/Cancel query.

There's lots more:  see the hypertext Help file for more information.

                                ==============
                                 Installation
                                ==============

1.  Move or copy SSSWITCH.EXE, SSSDLL.DLL and SSSWITCH.HLP into a new or
    existing directory.
2.  Add the SSSWITCH icon to your Program Manager (File/New/Program Item...).
    "StartUp" is a good program group to add it to.

                               ================
                                Uninstallation
                               ================

1.  Delete the above files from your hard drive.
2.  Delete the SSSWITCH.INI file from your Windows directory.
3.  Delete the SSSWITCH icon from Program Manager.

                          ==========================
                           Why ScrnSaveSwitch/Plus?
                          ==========================

* So programs run correctly:

    Not all software behaves correctly if the screen saver suddenly 
    comes on.  Clicking the green dot Button to red is a simple and 
    convenient way to protect your downloads, tape backups, faxes, etc.

* Security:

    If your screen saver is password-protected, a quick click of the "S" 
    Button starts the screen saver immediately and lets you leave your 
    workstation without fear of others' prying.  (Remember that the 
    Windows screen saver will not start otherwise if the active 
    application is a DOS program, whether it's running full screen or 
    windowed!  Click that Button!)

* So you can work:

    Your computer can't tell whether you're reading what's on the 
    screen, attending to another matter, or fast asleep!  It's all 
    "inactivity" as far as the computer is concerned - but it can be an 
    annoying interruption to you.

+ Plus - The "Windows Exit" utilities:

    Many programs (including Windows itself!) never release the memory
    resources they acquire.  The only way to make those resources
    available again is to quit Windows and then restart it.  Sometimes
    a whole reboot is required to restore a system to "normal"!  These
    utilities make that reinitialization safe, simple, fast and
    keyboard-free.  (By the way, they also let you bypass the "This
    will end your Windows session" OK/Cancel query.)
