CRP (Control Running Programs) 1.0.422 RC1

July 12, 2008 · Filed Under Utilities

CRP (Control Running Programs) is a solution that will control all running programs within your windows session. In the section ‘Instance Controlling’, you can specify how many instances of a particular program will run at the same time, preventing memory overflow and instant program spawning from other programs.

In the section ’Instance Launching’, specific programs will be launched once they have been closed, either by accident, from the user or the task manager. Drag & Drop support from explorer is also supported and multiple entries allow unlimited amount of programs to be used.

You can set CRP to start with the windows session, maintaining full control without manual loading and spawning instance support will allow you to run several copies of CRP at the same time. A full set of options are available via the ‘Options’ window and direct access to the current tasks list is also available.

Requires: Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.

What´s New in version 1.0 RC1:

You can now edit entries that have been already added (sorry, should have been in Beta 3).
Fixed a bug that stopped a message being shown for the sub menu ´Protect´.
Fixed a fault that caused the tooltips not to be shown on the main window when there are no entries in the lists.
Fixed some small spelling mistakes here and there (mainly in messages and tooltips shown).
You can now force a reset of the complete protection automatically after entering the right password.
Enabling protection no longer minimizes the main window to the system tray (just enables the protection).
Added ´Unprotect´ support (changes the ´Protect´ menu item) to disable protection.
You can now disable the confirmation shown to start the engines when the protection is enabled.
You can now specify the default instances allowed for programs drop on the ´Instance Controlling´ list (see Options).
Fixed a massive fault that caused programs dropped onto empty lists not to work (i.e. not even allow the drop).
Added ´Delete: Dead´ to the ´Edit´ menu (only available for ´Instance Launching´).
Slight layout change to the password creating and changing windows.
Fixed a fault that caused the ´Install Programs´ menu item to be enabled when the engine is running.
Lots of other small changes and fixes.
