Using WinLister
===============

This utility is a standalone executable, so it doesn't require any
installation process or additional DLLs. Just run the executable
(winlister.exe) and start using it. There is only one exception: If you
want to run this utility on Windows NT, you should download the
'psapi.dll', and copy it into the system32 folder.
After you run it, all current visible opened windows are displayed in the
main window. Whenever there is a change in the Windows system (e.g: new
window is added, existing window is closed, and so on), it'll immediately
be updated in windows list of WinLister.
By default, only visible windows are displayed in the windows list, if
you want to also list the invisible windows, you should select the
'Display Hidden Windows' from the Options menu.



The Options Menu
================

The following options are available under the Options menu:


Display Hidden Windows
If this option is selected, all windows are listed, including the hidden
windows. Otherwise, only the visible windows are displayed.
Notice: If you hide a window by using the 'Hide Selected Windows' option,
the window will be still listed, even when it's in hidden state. This
will allow you to easily make the window visible again.

Display Windows With (0,0) Size
If this option is selected, all windows with zero size (0, 0) will be
displayed. Otherwise, these windows won't be displayed.

Sort On Every Change
If this option is selected, the items are automatically sorted each time
that there is a change in the windows list.

Don't List The Windows Of WinLister
If this option is selected, the windows created by WinLister itself,
won't be listed.

Show Grid Lines
If this option is selected, grid lines are displayed around the windows
list.

Ask Before Any Action
If this option is selected, WinLister will ask for your permission before
doing any action.



Actions On Selected Windows
===========================

You Select one or more Window items, and do one of the following actions:


Close Selected Windows
When you close the selected windows with this option, the windows are
closed as though they were closed by clicking the 'X' button in the
top-right side of the window.

Hide Selected Windows
When you hide a window, the program continues to run in background, but
without displaying the user interface. Whenever you want to display the
window again, simply make it visible again by using the 'Show Selected
Windows' action.

Show Selected Windows
You can use this option to display again windows that you have previously
hidden.
