Introduction...
This idea mainly came to me while working on my old Fujitsu 266mhz, running
Windows 2000, with only 64mb of RAM. Internet browsing was painfully slow.
When I had multiple windows open and maximized/restored down, it was most
xcruciating! Yes, I could just click on "Show Desktop" then click on my IE
shortcut, but that's 2 clicks Man!! Come on! I wanted an option on Internet
Explorer to minimize all other windows then open my new instance of IE.
This should be an option, if you ask me, but is not.
So forth was born PowerMini!
v1.2 List of Known Supported Browsers:
-Internet Explorer (all versions)
-Netscape (all versions)
-Crazy Browser (all versions)
This Installation will...
-Create a PowerMini folder to place PowerMini.exe and readme.txt
-Copy a shortcut to PowerMini.exe in your QuickLaunch Toolbar.
NOTE: If you installed previous versions of PowerMini, you will probably
want to uninstall that version first. Mainly because you don't want
multiple shortcuts and PowerMini Program directories.
Customizing PowerMini...
-You may right-click on the PowerMini shortcut then Properties and Change
Icon to see available choices. Or browse to your own icons.
-Move the PowerMini QuickLaunch Shortcut next to your default browser's
shortcut.
Hopefully more options will become implemented over time.
Enjoy!!
