Discription:

A great PaprePort Desktop manager for automating management of swapping two PaperPort desktop folders.

Idea:

This propgram came in very usefull a few years back when our Visioneer PaperPort software Desktop became full.  Well it turned out that virtually all of it was important data.  We figured out that we could copy the folder and have infinate amount of storage. well here is the idea automated.  But for now it only supports management of 2 desktops you coould rewrite the source-code to support more.

Source Code: VB5

The source-code for this project is avalable for download, although you may recompile edited versions of this source-code you may not use it in any comercialy sold programs without consent and compensation from and for the author, David Lenk. It is not Public Domain.

DeskSwap v1.0.3 2:51 AM 8/9/99

Since all versions of PaperPort may differ, you must provide the original desktop folder with original data files or a working copy of a paperport desktop folder.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
To prepare use of this desktop management tool you will need to complete this list of tasks.

1. For this program to properly function, PaperPort must be installed into the c:\paperport folder.

2. Provide a copy of the original desktop data files, or a duplicate of your current desktop folder (unchanged).

3. Install the programs: deskswap.exe and setdesk.exe into the paperport instalation folder. These files can be placed anywhere actually but for this demonstration lets leave it the way i said.

4. The desktop folder you wish to be the primary desktop must be named "desktop" and the second desktop must be named "desktop2"

5. Run the Desktop Setup program (setdesk.exe) and choose "New Desktop" it should already be checked.

6. Now run deskswap to manage your desktops, setdesk needs only be used once, running it more than once will cause program failure if not properly run according to this task list.

Have fun clicking.
