READ ME file to accompany jrtrash.EXE

jrtrash.EXE is a Windows 3.1 program that demonstrates drag-and-drop
operation with File Manager.

Install it by copying jrtrash.EXE to your WINDOWS directory, then
go to program manager, select NEW from the FILE menu, select NEW
PROGRAM ITEM, and Type "Trash" as the name, and "jrtrash.EXE" into
the command line. Also, select the "Run Minimized" check box.

Running Trash will put a trash-can icon on the desktop. Dragging
files from File Manager to the trashcan will result in their
deletion.

Full source and project files (For Microsoft Quick C) are not included
in this version.

APPLICATION NOTE:

Actually, this program will work with Windows 3.0, IF you have
SHELL.DLL (this comes with Word for Windows 2.0 and Excel 4.0,
among other programs), just install as above. Unfortunately,
as there's no "run minimized" option in the 3.0 file manager
properties dialog, you'll have to minimize the program manually.

Enjoy!

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
