Go to Screen Shot
"File Menu"
-
"New" Clears the Image Box and sets the name to UnNamed
to start a new package definition.
-
"Open" Presents a dialog to select a previously saved
package definition.
-
"Make" This actually takes the current package definition
and creates the setup files for distribution.
-
The ToolKit requires the setup files for My Screen Saver v5.0 or higher.
If they have not yet been copied, this menu item will say "Base Files".
-
If it says "Base Files", you cannot MAKE a package until
the MySS setup files have been copied.
-
If you have the setup files on your hard drive, click this and if the ToolKit
can find them it will simply copy them and the menu item will change to
"Make". If the ToolKit cannot find them, it will
prompt you to locate them. Simply navigate to the folder that contains
the file that it is looking for and click OK.
-
If the setup files for My Screen Saver v5.0 or higher are not on your hard
drive, then download the trial version of Myss from my web site at
http:\\www.members.home.net\jcastell1. Then run the .exe. This
will put the setup files on your hard drive. MySS does not have to
be installed. In other words, you do not have to run the setup file
for MySS.
-
Once this menu item says "Make", you are free to delete
the setup files from the folders where the .exe unzipped the setup files.
-
"Save" Saves the current package definition. If
it is UnNamed, it will prompt you for a file name.
-
"Save As" Prompts you for a file name. You can
type a new file name or select a previously saved file to overwrite. If
the file name already exists, you will be prompted to confirm the overwrite
of that file.
-
"Exit" Quit the ToolKit. If you have done anything
with the current package definition since it was last saved, it will prompt
you to save it.

"About" Displays information about the ToolKit. My

"Non-Registration" If this option is checked, your image
files will not be encrypted and will be available to the person to whom you
distribute a package.
-
"Registration" If this option is checked, your
image files will be encrypted and will not be directly available to the person
to whom you distribute a package. For the 30 day trial period, they
will be able to see the images by using My Screen Saver. When
the user registers with you and you give them their Registration
Code, the image files will be decrypted and will be available to the
user even if they do not register MySS. If they register MySS but not
your images, after the 30 day trial, they will no longer be able to see your
images. After the 30 day trial period, they will still be able to register
your images, even though MySS will not display them. The setup screen
remains active after the 30 day trial period, even if they do not register
MySS.

"Your Code" This code plus the users name is used
to generate a unique Registration Code, that will decrypt
