How to use ToolBox
ToolBox is an application launcher with many built-in features. Read the following main
instructions to use it easily and efficiently:
- Placing a Shortcut to a Drive
- Just right-click on an empty tile and select New - Drive
from the menu. You will be prompted to select a drive letter and an icon. On Drive Tiles the Drive Letter
is displayed. When you click on them the Windows Explorer is being executed and goes straight to the
contents of that drive.
- Placing a new Shortcut
- Just drag any file from anywhere on your system, and drop it on
ToolBox's surface on an empty tile. This will create a new tile on ToolBox, which will have the icon
of the File. If it is an executable, ToolBox will take the first icon found in the .EXE file. In case
it is a document file (e.g. .TXT) ToolBox will find the file's association (e.g. NOTEPAD.EXE) and use
the associated icon (e.g. the Notepad's icon).
- Placing a Shortcut to a Folder
- Just Drag any Folder on an empty tile. The Windows Explorer
Icon will be displayed and by clicking on it you will get instantly an Explorer Window on that Folder.
- Executing an Application
- Just Click (or Double-Click depending on your choice) on the
applications tile.
- Sending a file to an Application
- Drag a document file (e.g. a .BMP file) on the tile which
contains the application you want to launch and open the file (e.g. PHOTOSHOP.EXE)
- Changing the Icon of a Tile
- Apart from using the Properties menu command, you can drag & drop
any .ICO or .ICL file on a tile and instantly you will get the properties window of that tile loaded with
the icon or icons you dropped on it.
- Moving Windows
- You can move the main window (the one with the tiles) from its title bar
(if is visible) or by holding the Ctrl key down and click and moving your mouse. Any window is moveable
just by clicking and moving your mouse. All windows are dockable on your screen's border.
- Resizing Main Window
- You can resize the main window by it's border (it it is visible) or by
using the Rows and Columns menu choices. More on these on the Menu Commands page.
- Resizing Drive Sizes Window
- Hold down the Shift key and click and move your mouse on to it.
This window can be resized only on it's width.
- Resizing Memory Monitor Window
- Hold down the Shift key and click and move your mouse on to it.
