On install, I declined installing/activating TeaTimer, because of some
negative things I'd heard. Now I'm ready to try it, and I'd like to know
if I have to redownload, reinstall, or just check a box somewhere. I
looked at their webpage but got too confused to find it.


TIA,

Chak

Don't try it yet... it's broken!

It's explained in another post in here, but due to a Delphi problem,
teatimers option dialogs are all screwed up.... buttons under text, etc...

yes the gui is "broken" but the underlying code works just fine. alltho
why it keeps pestering me about a change i have allowed ones and should
not happen again unless i run a update i dont understand :P

someone pointed out that you can push a to allow or d to deny a change
btw...

one thing is annoying tho, those damn message popups for every change done.

What the Heck is Teatimer?

From the Spybot helpfile:

<quote> As we used to forget our tea, when we let it brew, we built a small
tool with a system tray icon to remind us. We called this tool "TeaTimer".
When we started to develop the Resident tool for Spybot-S&D, we also needed
a system tray icon for this. As we do not like having too many icons in the
system tray, we decided to put both tools together and kept the name
"TeaTimer". The next version of the Resident tool will also have the
functions of the original "TeaTimer". </quote>

Somebody may have answered this further into the thread but: Teatimer's
clickable buttons don't display properly so you can't mouse-click
whether to allow registry changes or not. But you can key the
appropriate letter and it then works.
