 FastFolder by BB ver 3.0 

 THERE ARE NO RUN-TIME LIBRARIES IN THIS ZIP,  SINCE MOST SYSTEMS HAVE
 THEM ALREADY. THIS QUICK DOWNLOAD CONTAINS PROGRAM FILES ONLY.

 OVERVIEW
 FastFolder by BB is a background program which allows quick access to
 any of eight pre-selected folders from the system tray. It provides a
 perfect way to navigate directories without requiring My Computer.

 The code in this program is designed to use minimum system resources.
 It is written in  VB6, with all of the files loaded to one directory.
 It creates a shortcut in the start menu\programs\startup directory to
 make an automatic launch each time the program is started but removes
 it each time it is selected closed.  This lets the program 'remember'
 its last state and resume on the next system boot-up.

 Separate executable files handle larger external routines to preserve
 system memory. There are no embedded images, text or  OLE  functions.

 NO SECRET FILES
 This program is a FREE full working version.   It creates NO registry
 keys nor makes any secret files. FastFolder by BB contains no Spyware
 or AdWare, and is totally non-intrusive.

 LICENSE
 This program is copyright of Bernie Madigan,  Sydney  Australia,  but
 can be freely distributed,  published on any media or uploaded to any
 web site without seeking permission, provided no files are altered or
 deleted.

 OPERATION
 Operation is self explanatory. When the program is running an icon is
 visible in the system tray. Right click the icon to reveal the menus.
 
 Select CONFIGURATION to set shortcuts to folders  by first creating a
 "friendly name" in the space provided. Next, double click the desired
 folder in the folder list, then click "Set Path" to the friendly name
 to complete the configuration.   Select a default folder to open when
 the tray icon is left clicked.

 Clicking on any of the selected folders on the menu will open them.

 Left clicking on the icon will open the default folder.

 All information is stored in the file  "FastFolder by BB.ini"  in the
 program directory. If this file becomes corrupted due to broken links
 or otherwise, it will be erased and rewritten just as a virgin start.
 For this reason, you should avoid creating a path to a removable disk
 which may create an error, corrupting the file.

 Folders can be selected to open in either Normal or Explore mode.

 AUTOMATIC START
 The program makes a 'startup' link on launching that will cause it to
 start automatically on the next boot-up unless it has been previously
 shut down. Whenever the program is closed down the link is removed so
 that it will not automatically launch next time.

 This also ensures the startup link is deleted on uninstalling it at a
 later date, since the program must be shut down to remove it.

 CHANGE BROWSER
 By default, folders are opened by Explorer.exe. To change the default
 browser, click 'CHANGE BROWSER' on the configuration form for further
 instructions.

 INSTALL/UNINSTALL INFORMATION
 Installation was done by extracting the program files into the folder
 of your choice. There were no run-time libraries installed in the zip
 or changes to the registry. A log of any shortcuts created is kept in
 Instal.log in this folder. 

 To uninstall this program just delete its folder and all of the files
 within it, and any shortcuts on the Start Menu or Desktop, or use the
 uninstaller.
