Installing HandsetAdmin
The buttons on this dialog will open instances of Windows Explorer that are preset to
paths that may be convenient for manually copying
appropriate path and creating start menu shortcuts. There is no automatic installer or un-
installer but these procedures are simple to perform manually since this application
consists of a single program file that stores all of its settings in a single initialization file.
The initialization file is a text file named
created in the path that contains
are kept in this file rather than in your registry or system folders so that they are easy to
find (to backup, restore, transfer, etc.) and so that it is easy to manually "upgrade",
"move", and "uninstall" the application without losing settings or leaving junk behind.
To install the application:
•
Copy
HandsetAdmin.exe
specifically for this application, the folder can double as a convenient place to save
handset firmware updates or other files associated with this application.
•
Create Start menu or desktop shortcuts if desired.
•
The first time you run it from its new location, you will need to accept the License
Agreement then choose "Run From Current Location" when the "Setup" dialog
appears. These dialogs will not appear again unless you delete HandsetAdmin.ini.
To upgrade the application:
•
Overwrite HandsetAdmin.exe with a newer version. New versions of the application
are compatible with (will recognize) the old settings contained in your existing
HandsetAdmin.ini file.
To move the application:
•
Move HandsetAdmin.exe and HandsetAdmin.ini to a new path or move or rename
the folder containing these two files. Windows XP will automatically modify shortcuts
for you when their targets are moved or renamed via Windows Explorer, so, even if
you created start menu shortcuts to these files, you can move them using Explorer
without having to re-do the shortcuts.
•
If moving the application to a new machine, you will have to create new shortcuts, if
desired, on the new machine. By copying HandsetAdmin.ini to the new machine,
your old settings will be retained.
To uninstall the application:
•
Delete HandsetAdmin.exe, HandsetAdmin.ini, and any shortcuts or folders you
created for it.
How to use Windows Explorer and create Start menu shortcuts
Consult the documentation that came with your operating system for details. The
instructions below describe one set of tips and techniques. Other techniques exist and
are just as valid. These instructions were written for Windows XP and may or may not
work under different operating systems.
To move or copy a file, drag it from one Explorer window and drop it into another Explorer
window.
To create a shortcut, use the right mouse button to drag a file or folder (for instance,
HandsetAdmin.exe) to an Explorer window, then choose "Create Shortcuts Here" from
the menu that appears when you release the right mouse button.
A file, folder, or shortcut in one of the Start menu paths (either "current user" or "all
users") will show up in the Start menu under the "All Programs" submenu. Folders show
up as submenus and the contents of folders show up as items under the folder's
submenu.
To make a shortcut show up in your Start menu up above the most-recent list (rather than
under the "All Programs" submenu), right-click on the target or existing shortcut (either in
