1. Advanced32 menu: this allows you to quick launch hidden windows programs like scan disk, disk defragmenter etc.
2. Delete Menu: this allows you to delete unneeded files.
3. Backup Menu: this allows you to backup certain files like internet favorites so that you can restore them at a later date. Warning: Restoring files will delete all original files first. That is: if you have added new files since your last backup, they will be deleted before the backed up files are restored.

Requirements
|
Requirements:
BatMonkey relies on components common to windows. BatMonkey will run under Windows 98 and Windows Me. Files that BatMonkey will need are:
Edit.com
Deltree.exe
Xcopy.exe
Move.exe
These should be found in the folder: C:\Windows\Command.
BatMonkey also needs C:\Command.com
As these products are third party (provided by Microsoft), MonkeyJob Systems cannot provide a direct download link to them.
If however, you are missing these files, you should be able to restore them from your Windows set-up CD. You may also find them in one of your cabinet files located at: C:\Windows\Options\Cabs or you can download them from the Microsoft website using Microsoft Windows update.
Windows Vista/Windows 7 issues
We believe that windows vista and windows 7 does not allow this program to run correctly if you have your user account control settings set high.
To remedy this we suggest the following action:
From your start menu, select the control panel then user accounts:change user account control settings.
You will find a vertical slider here, set the slider to never notify (the bottom value) then you will find that the send to dos module will now work as required. Also, you will not be notified everytime you launch a program.
