Post Description

Summary: QuikMenu III provides an attractive and easy to use graphical desktop environment for DOS-based systems. The icon and button interface allows for quick and intuitive interaction with everyday computer tasks. A full set of desktop utilities are provided. Management and network compatible features are included for business and other multiple system installations. QuikMenu III is not a memory resident TSR.

PROGRAM HANDLING: QuikMenu III can launch any DOS-based program with a single mouse click or keystroke. QuikMenu can automatically recognize and configure menus for many major software applications. Icons and buttons may also be configured to ask for a filename to load with the program being launched. And additional keystrokes may be stuffed into the keyboard, to be executed after the command is launched.

FILE MANAGEMENT: Files may be copied, moved, renamed, deleted, viewed, or have attributes displayed. DOS subdirectories may be created, renamed, deleted, copied or moved. Actions may be executed on single files/directories, or groups. Search for particular files or a group of files in a specific directory or across the entire disk. ASCII text files may be created, viewed and edited—handy to create or modify batch and other files.

CUSTOMIZATION: Elements placed on the desktop by the user may be arranged freeform. Icons may be selected from among 100 which are included. An integrated icon editor allows creation of custom icons, as well as import/export of Windows™ ICO format icons and PCX images. Buttons may be selected from a wide selection of 2 and 3-D styles. A variety of included screen fonts, styles and sizes may be used. Select and modify colors for any desktop element. PCX format graphic images or logos can be placed as background wallpaper. Users may define up to 68 buttons for each screen, with up to 50 menu screens available. Buttons may even be hidden for greater security. Icons or buttons may be included to jump to related menus.

COMPUTER USAGE TRACKING: QuikMenu can track which programs are being used on the computer.

These may be sorted by date, program or user and searches for usage of specific programs may be conducted.

PASSWORD PROTECTION: Passwords may be applied to program launching buttons/icons, menu modification, QuikMenu command buttons, and access to other menu screens.
