Note: This program's old and outdated, not to mention I failed at programming when I made it. I don't even remember how I made it. So I'm warning you now that if something screws up, I won't know how to fix it. But this particular program shouldn't fail.

------------------------------------------------------------

Simple GUI, nothing special. Did this 1. because it would take me a good week to make a WPF-style interface in this language, and 2. This is AutoHotKey. You rarely find a pretty GUI in AHK. :)

What it does is it lets you set anything you can run (programs, files, directories, websites, control panel items, etc.) to be ran when you put your mouse at any one of the four corners of the screen. Simple as that.

You can choose to use all four corners, 2 of them, 3 of them, whatever. Each corner has its own text box for the path of the file/program/website/whatever. If you leave the text box blank, it doesn't do anything when you move your mouse to that corner.

Note: Some virus scanners detect this as a virus. It isn't, but if you are unsure, just don't use it. :p

Crash bug: If you don't put in a completely correct path/address, the app will crash when you move your mouse to that corner. For a little more info, read the documentation in the zip folder.

Enjoy.

EDIT (May 13, 2010): I've been notified that this app uses a lot of CPU (30-40% on an average system). THis is due to it having to loop constantly to check for the trigger being sent. If I can find a more efficient way of doing it, I will use it.

Does this app clash with the existing corner shortcuts to maximize and cascade windows????
Are those shortcuts disabled when you use this app???

Hi, I worked on something similar like your project and got an good idea, how to reduce the amount of cpu usage from your program.
Just use a Timer instead of an infinite loop - all 20ms checking for the mouse position -> <1% cpu

tadah!

I just checked the AHk docs, and I see that there is indeed a timer function. Thanks for the idea. :)

All you have to do is put in the path to the exe file.
For instance, "C:\Program Files\Dropcloth\Dropcloth.exe"
That's it. :P
