Finished Programs / Tic Toc Title Mod?

« on: January 17, 2015, 11:02 PM »

Hi, 

i've used Tic Toc Title on XP for years and love it - with one exception. As long as it affixes itself to a full screen window it's perfect but it's coded to show on any "window" that has the focus. And that may be a dialog block where it obscures the message. How hard would it be to tweak it so it *only* shows on the top-most maximized window? (says he who struggles to write a bat file)

BTW, i'm transitioning to Win 7 and it runs fine there in XP compatibility mode.

Hi,

"Create Shortcut There" is one of my "must have" apps. I use it 10 times a week! But (and there's always a "but" isn't there!) every time I use it i'm reminded of the one change that would make it perfect:

When we open the "Browse for Folder" window it opens to the location that holds the file that we want to create a shortcut from - which is the least likely location to be our target folder. If, instead, it opened to the last used target location it would save a lot of maneuvering in that window. IE: 95% of the time i'm wanting to create a shortcut in my StartMenu (C:\D&S\AllUsers\StartMenu) from my app folder on the F: partition.

Any way to do this?

Thanks for your great apps!!

Yes, have a look at the source code. Click the A icon on my web page, save the file as CreateShortcutThere.ahk and open it in Notepad. to run it, also downlaod and install AutoHotkey from www.autohotkey.com. skrommel

Skrommel's Software / Request on CreateShortcutThere

Hi,

I just tried out CreateShortcutThere and it's pretty handy to me.  Unfortunately it adds the string: "shortcut" into the shortcut itself. IE: "application.lnk" becomes application - shortcut.lnk". Can that behavior be changed? Thanks.
