rpsoft_2000

Thank you for acquiring rpsoft_2000's Filemod program!


Basic Help

Note that some instructions are available on the program itself using the "Help" 
button.

LOADING THE PROGRAM

The program file will be provided as a single zip file.  It would be best to 
store a copy of the downloaded file in a second place in case a second computer 
load is needed. 

If the file name ends in ".exe" then the file is self extracting, and one just 
needs to run and execute the file.  If the original downloaded file ends in 
".zip" then one must unzip the file.  If you are not sure if you have a program 
that unzips files or not try starting a file program such as that one available 
under "My computer" and double click on the downloaded file name. Many programs 
will associate with file endings and such a program may automatically start when 
you click on it.  If you have no program to unzip files, please accept our 
apologies, however this is still fixable with a little more work.  A zip / unzip 
utility can prove useful since many people use that property. Such a file can be 
obtained from winzip at http://www.winzip.com on the net or from many download 
sites. Therefore, one should not be lost, but would unfortunately have another 
step to take.  Winzip at times has had an exploratory version.

During the program setup of course it is best as always to exit all other 
programs and then respond to the questions asked during setup. Answer YES if 
asked if it is okay to write over Windows temporary files. You will be asked 
where to store the program in the computer and what group to place the startup 
icon in. Of course one should remember these locations for starting the program 
later. Important - if System file changes are needed, the file may prompt and a 
computer restart may be needed.  If this happens or if the program does not load 
the first time, execute it a second time.  A system file update or another 
program operating in the background can potentially stop a load.  In extreme 
cases, restart your computer before trying the load again afterwards to ensure 
all others programs are not running.  Our apologies for any inconvenience during 
load.

If not changed during load, the program files will be stored under C:\Program 
Files\(program name). Program start will be under Programs under the start key 
(computer left bottom) and will be located under rpsoft_2000\(program name).


STARTING THE PROGRAM 

To begin the program, go to the windows start button on the lower left of the 
computer screen and click it.  Put your mouse on "programs" and a list of 
programs and program file locations will show.  Move the mouse rightward and up 
and down as necessary to find the location where the program startup is stored. 
This should be the same location as indicated during the program load.  If you 
have not modified the load location, the program should be under the program 
name or under rpsoft_2000.  Click the program icon to start the load.

MORE ICONS 

If you wish an icon on the computer screen for this program startup, locate the 
program as indicated above and then right mouse click on the program and select 
"Create Shortcut".  After the copy is created, use your mouse to drag (hold down 
the left mouse button) this startup copy onto your screen with your mouse.   
Note that once you have an icon startup on the desktop, that you can also if you 
wish simply drag that icon to the lower left of the computer screen icons for 
fast program startup later with a single click.  Note also, that right clicking 
on icons also will allow one to rename them, among other things.


General Program Usage

Cautions:  any program such as this that can modify file names needs to be used 
with caution.  If file names are changed, other programs including the operating 
system my no longer recognize the file and therefore the files cannot be used.  
While safeties are included in the program, the real safety is the user and 
double checking the directory / directories that this program is pointed at - to 
ensure safety.  If not sure, always put file names to be changed in a separate 
directory on your computers hard drive.  And then ensure that this program is 
only pointed towards this area.

Help file

An extensive help file is used with this program.  It would be best to note all 
of the name change and attribute change options from that file.


Exiting the program

This program can be exited by the exit button or by clicking the "x" in the 
upper right hand corner. Code associated with this exit will end the program 
properly.
