                      Closing Arguments - Ron Bel Bruno

HAVE  TROUBLE saying good-bye to Windows? It's easy to forget to log off  your 
network or check your e-mail when you're closing up shop and clicking your way 
out of a long day's computing.

WrapUp, a flip side to Window's StartUp program group, provides a novel way to 
remember  to  shut  things down in an orderly fashion.  In fact,  if  you  use 
Wrapup,  you  won't  have to remember. The program works  its  wonders  within 
ShutDown,  a program group it asks you to create on your desktop. Once  you've 
taken the tune to set up this domain, Wrapup takes over.

The  program  uses  conventional icons representing DOS  batch  files  to  run 
command lines. Use it just before exiting Windows to retrieve your mail,  back 
up  your  hard  disk or, as the documentation suggests, phone  home  via  your 
communications  program  and drop a note to tell your significant  other  that 
you're on the way.

If  batch files and command lines make you nervous, relax. in fact, If  you've 
ever  written  even a simple batch or just know what they are -  WrapUp  won't 
stress  you  out.  You drag and drop a program's .EXE file into  the  ShutDown 
program  group and WrapUp will run it for you.  You can also drop batch  files 
and macros into WrapUp's ShutDown group.

You  can  use Windows Write or Notepad to create these batch commands  or  any 
other text editor.  I used WinBatch, a shareware program, to create the  files 
to  test WrapUp.  With yet another virus scare in the air, I decided  to  test 
WrapUp  by  plopping a virus-scan program in my ShutDown program  group.  Now, 
when I exit Windows, WrapUp launches the program and runs a virus check on  my 
hard disk before closing up for the day.

WrapUp  is  a  thought provoking application. The more you use  it,  the  more 
useful  it  seems. No doubt you'll come up with a list  of  "launchables"  for 
WrapUp  -those  must-do,  last-minute applications that  you  always  seem  to 
remember just as you hit the power switch.
