Right-Click on the Taskbar

Select 'Toolbars' > New Toolbar

Type into the text bar (or copy and paste):

%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch

Left-Click 'Select Folder'

Right-Click on the Taskbar

Uncheck 'Lock Taskbar'

Right-Click on 'Quick Launch' (this will be written on the Task Bar for now)

Uncheck:

'Show Text'
'Show Title'

Right-Click an empty place in the Quick Launch Bar

Select 'View'

Select 'Small Icons'

Put all the icons you want in the Quick Launch Bar

If you keep your Task Bar on the right side of the screen, drag the separator for the Quick Launch bar to the top of the Taskbar, then drag it to the right, and all the icons in the Quick Launch bar will line up vertically along the right edge of the Taskbar. To change it back, drag the separator, which is now a very narrow (3 rows of 4 dots) thing above the top Quick Launch icon, down and to the left.

If you keep the Taskbar at the bottom of the screen, dragging the top edge of the Taskbar up a little will make it wider, and all the Quick Launch icons will be listed across the bottom of the Taskbar. You may have to drag the separator down to the empty space.]]> dadwhiskers FreeRapid Downloader - Tips&Tricks Sat, 23 Apr 2011 11:56:24 +0200 http://wordrider.net/forum/12/5492/5492/_subject_#msg-5492 http://wordrider.net/forum/12/5492/5492/_subject_#msg-5492
I guess this is caused by the 32-bit bootstrapper application, which is not able to load 64-bit Java DLL's, so it starts a new process (javaw.exe) with appropriate parameters. But javaw.exe is just a host application that either will be pinned without required command line arguments or cannot be pinned at all (this depends on your system configuration).

So if you want to pin FreeRapid Downloader to your taskbar, it must be done another way. First create a new shortcut on your desktop and set its properties like this:

Target: "C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe" -Xms32m -Xmx128m -jar "C:\FreeRapid\frd.jar"
Start in: "C:\FreeRapid"

Modify paths to correspond to folders where you have JRE and FreeRapid Downloader installed. You can also change an icon, the correct one can be found in frd.ico file. Now drag the shortcut, move it to your taskbar and drop it when 'Pin to Taskbar' message appears.

Then you can delete the shortcut from the desktop. FreeRapid Downloader will stay pinned on the taskbar.]]> Ebu FreeRapid Downloader - Tips&Tricks Tue, 10 Jul 2012 14:47:14 +0200 http://wordrider.net/forum/12/4424/4424/_subject_#msg-4424 http://wordrider.net/forum/12/4424/4424/_subject_#msg-4424 I am going to present to you my method of scheduler for FreeRapid Downloader.
I will be use the acronym FRD, just in case you come past it in this tutorial and do not know what it means.

Aim of this tutorial
In this tutorial, ill be demonstrating how to schedule a task on FRD, the tools i will be using is a built in function of Windows Vista/7. Called Task Scheduler in Computer Management.
I will be splitting the full tutorial into two parts for easier understanding.

Tutorial (Auto Start FRD):
1. Hold Windows Key and press R
2. Copy and paste taskschd.msc, into the dialogue box
3. Click on the Create Task on the right panel
4. Give it a name; e.g. frdscheduler
5. Click on the Triggers tab on the top, followed by New on the bottom left
6. Select Daily, Time to start, lastly ok (change to your own preference)
7. Now go to the Actions Tab, followed by New on the bottom left
8. Browse, and select where your FRD.exe is located¹, then ok
9. Ok once more, now you are done, move onto next part
¹ Not everyone’s FRD is installed in the same path, so make sure you know where it is (It is just like a shortcut)
² Only needs to be setup once! (Unless you choose other settings)


Tutorial (Auto-Start downloads)
1. Add your downloads normally, with FRD open before ANY before appointed time
2. Select All (ctrl+a), then press resume (ctrl+r), (or chose the downloads you want started)
3. Now quickly close FRD before downloads start (so you don’t waste bandwidth)
4. Just wait for the scheduler to start, and it will auto-start all the downloads in FRD
Note: This is how the auto-start feature works.
Note: This step can be automated with a script, the script is provided by Debug. (Just go down a few post)

Now, If Vity can automate this process in the next release it will be wonderful. (tut1)

WinXP Tut:
Go Here: [hiox.org]
It is a pictorial;
Credit goes to whoever wrote it, Not me.

Mac OS:
I do not think the same feature exists in Mac OS.
Maybe someone can provide a similar solution for Mac users.

Updates=======================
Edit: Reword it a bit
Edit²: Added Link to WinXP Tut.
Edit³: Added Debug's Auto Resume

Such file contains much less fragments and it leads to less fragmented disk space - so it increases a speed of working with file. See more about disk fragmentation here [en.wikipedia.org] .



This feature is highly recommended to users with notebook.]]> Vity FreeRapid Downloader - Tips&Tricks Sun, 03 May 2009 00:28:51 +0200 http://wordrider.net/forum/12/1274/1274/_subject_#msg-1274 http://wordrider.net/forum/12/1274/1274/_subject_#msg-1274 Simply select files and drag them. Behavior is similar to Winamp's playlist.
