Installation

To install Super Happy Find and Run Robot, simply run the installatin program provided.

You can install new versions of this program over existing programs, and you can uninstall the program easily from your start menu.

Find and Run Robot keeps all of its settings in an ini file in its local directory - it does not mess with your registry.

It does not install any system files or in any way interefere with your existing files.

What is Installed?

There are two executable files that are installed with the program.  The main executable, FindAndRunRobot.exe, and a tiny systemtray helper utility, FindAndRunRobotSystemTrayTrigger.exe.

The helper utility, if run, will sit in your system tray, and allow you to access Find and Run robot easily.  When loaded, pressing the pause/break key on your keyboard will activate the program.  Pressing it again will close it.  You can also double-click on the system tray icon to toggle the program on and off.

You can unload the helper utility at any time, by right-clicking on it's icon.

The system tray helper utility is under 50k and was designed to take up minimal resources and clock cycles

Super Happy Find and Run Robot was originally designed to start each time you start windows (the helper util is the only thing that stays resident), so that you could quickly launch the program when you need it.

However, in order to be polite, the program will not install itself to start up with windows unless you specifically ask it to.  Just start the program and check the box labeled "start when windows starts."  If you change your mind at a later date, simply run the program and uncheck this box.

If you already have another hotkey program you wish to use instead of the helper utility we provide, or if you want to run the program through an exisiting application launcher, that's fine, the main program can be launched from any 3rd party launcher, and will not stay resident when it is exited.

NOTE: If you choose not to install the start menu group shortcuts, and want to launch the program and have it stay resident in the tray, call it with the -tray commandline parameter.
