Windows Toolkit

Abstract

The Windows Toolkit encapsulates many of the functions found in the Windows TM Operating System and some more. However they have been grouped together in one simple to operate application. The application is dialog based. The first dialog has a menu bar that provides link to all the functionality available in the toolkit. The menu items have various options that provide user access to the toolkit. There are eighteen (18) different dialog boxes which open on the menu commands. There are two more dialog boxes, which appear as an offer of options or results to the user. There are thus twenty (20) dialog boxes incorporated in the toolkit. The functions provided are mainly a combination of functionality provided by the Explorer, Find and System Information tools of Windows TM . However the improvement is in the form of some additional options which Microsoft™ did not deem fit to provide and the in the fact that all these functions have been grouped together under on umbrella. Each dialog box has a help file attached to it where the basic help about the functionality available in that particular dialog box can be found. There are only a few places, where the user has to click buttons to get the results. Mostly simple selection of an item is sufficient to begin the execution. The idea is to afford the maximum possible ease to the user. Effort has been made to keep the user informed of the execution. Some of the results are displayed after a rather long delayed. The information to the user keeps him/her from getting edgy and restless.
