fastmenu PLUS Setup/Configuration Module. ========================================:> You may access all options in either of two ways. 1)- Press the number representing the option you want to access. 2)- Point the mouse at the option and then press the left mouse button. This module offers several options for customizing fastmenu PLUS along with setting the default drive and directory. The default drive ( C: ) and directory ( FAST ) may be changed from this screen if need be. However I strongly recommend that you leave them at their defaults. If you change them for some reason, you will also need to edit the FAST.BAT found in the root directory. This file contains the necessary drive and path statements to start fastmenu. Option Reaction to option ~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ESC=Quit.......................... This option will return you to the fastmenu applications menu. 1 >----------- Drive Configuration ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Use this option to change the default drive and directory of fastmenu. You will be asked to answer two questions. The first of these questions will be asking you to enter the drive that fastmenu is running on. The default is drive C. The next question will be asking you to enter the directory that the fastmenu files are located in. The default is FAST. 2 >----------- Toggle Color On/Off ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Use this option to change from color menus and prompts to black & white, or vice versa. This option will present you with one question that can be answered by either a C for color or B for black & white. NOTE ! If you are running the VGA module, it will remain in color regardless of how you set this option. 3 >- Toggle Screen Blanking On/Off ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Use this option to select whether you want screen blanking or not. This option will present you with one question that can be answered by either a Y if you want screen blanking or a N if you do not. NOTE ! This screen blanking only has an effect on fastmenu screens and will not interrupt your applications in any way. During screen blanking a logo will dance arround on your screen, letting you know that fastmenu is ready to go at any time by pressing any key on your keyboard. 4 >------ Edit Password Protection ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Use this option to setup password protection to each individual fastmenu module. Such as the Phone Book and Calendar NotePad Modules. NOTE ! The password protection setup through this option only has effect on fastmenu modules and will not affect applications execution from the main menu. Applications run through fastmenu have their own password protection that may be setup through the Edit Applications module. Choosing this option will take you to a screen where you may select the modules that you want to have password protected. Select the modules that you want password protected by moving the highlight bar to that option and using the space bar to toggle your answer to either Yes or No. Only modules that you marked 'Yes' will be password protected. After marking all modules that you want password protected, just press the enter key to advance to the next screen. This next screen will have all modules listed again along with a place to enter passwords. Also at the top of your screen you will be shown the password number. You are allowed up to 50 different password combinations. When you first enter this screen the prompt will be in the password editor window. At this point you may enter the first password up to 40 characters long. After entering the password the prompt will move down to the modules list. The first option in this list will be asking you if you want to log the use of this password. If you answer this with a Yes then every time that this password is used it will be recorded in a file called MASTER.LOG. The remaining prompts in this box will determine whether or not this password has access to the corresponding module or not. NOTE ! On the previous screen if you chose not to have some of the modules password protected, they will show up on this screen in a blanked out mode. Answers placed after these blanked out modules will be ignored. After entering all information for this password you may use the down arrow key to move to the next password. When the highlight bar is on the last option in the module box pressing the down arrow key will move you to the next password screen. When the cursor is in the password window pressing the up arrow will take you to the previous password screen. After entering all passwords, pressing the F1 key will save them to disk in the MASTER.DAT file. You may edit or change these passwords at any time simply by entering this module making your changes and then saving them by pressing the F1 key. This password protection not only lets you determine which modules that you want password pretected but also lets you assign different module access to different passwords. 5 >-------- View Password Log File ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Use this option to view the password log file (MASTER.LOG). If you have chosen to have any of the passwords logged, then they will be listed in this file. 6 >---------- Delete Password File ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Use this option to delete or completely remove all module password protection. You will be prompted to verify this choice. The MASTER.DAT file will be deleted. 7 >------ Delete Password Log File ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Use this option to delete or completely remove all logged password use. You will be prompted to verify this choice. The MASTER.LOG file will be deleted. NOTE ! If you delete this file, it will be re-created if a password is used that was marked to be logged. 8 >---------------- Edit Logo File ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Use this option to edit or change the FASTLOGO.IFO file. This file contains the information that you will see moving about during screen blanking. Also the information in this file is listed to screen on the main menu of the CGA version and the first line of this file is listed to screen in the VGA version. After choosing this option you will be presented with a screen that has this file listed in a small editing window. You may make any changes you want to this file and then press the ESC key to exit. You will be asked if you want to save any changes you have made. NOTE ! Any changes to this file will only be recognized after you re-boot your computer or re-start fastmenu.
