Back when Windows 95 was just about to burst on the scene I started using a powerful utility called Clickflick that you run at startup and runs in the background. I still try to run it but it's dodgy as hell in Windows 2000 but you can still use it if you can live with the vexing problems. I'm wondering if there's something better. Clickflick is customizable button clusters called popboxes, basically rectangles of any size and geometry you want that consist of buttons whose size is configurable as well. The popboxes which are proprietary to what application has focus, are invisible until you hit a programmable hotkey or hotkey combo to bring the current popbox to visibility. You select a button on the popbox and your macro plays. The buttons can be programmed to do practically anything you want to do in an application including launching documents, choosing application menu options, the list goes on and on. There's a "Desktop" popbox that is accessible from all applications, too. From that I like to launch my applications - way faster and easier than Windows' Start button, and you can launch them with parameters to open documents, etc. I love this toy but nobody seems to use it anymore, and I wasn't able to obtain a better build than I have, which is rather buggy. I'm sure that better builds were made, but the company evidently went out of business and I tried several times but was unable to find anybody who has the program through searches. They had a 16 bit version for Windows 3.x and a 32 bit version for Windows 95 and NT and I found that the 16 bit version actually worked better in Windows 95 but only the 32 bit version worked in NT 4 and so that's what I'm trying to use with Windows 2000. Both versions came on 2 diskettes.
Can anybody recommend something I might like as much or better?!! Thanks!!
