Utilities in the WMI package

The WMI package contains the following utilities:
 

Task Program (file name)
Windows'9x shut down WinOff.exe
Windows'9x  restart WinRes.exe
Memory Optimization without WMI MemFree.exe
WMI registration wmiReg.exe


If you need more support for shut down, restart, stand by, hibernate or log off, please download the full Mini Shut Down Utilities package.

MemFree

The MemFree program is designed to perform a function like WMI's Automatic Memory Optimization feature, but without using WMI. After starting, MemFree optimizes your memory and then it quits. This feature makes MemFree a good choice for users who want to optimize their memory before a huge program starts or for users who need automated optimization.

MemFree can be used in a simple batch file as well:

contents of the example.bat:

"c:\program files\w memory info\memfree.exe"
c:\myprog\backup.exe

You can add MemFree to the StartUp group and, as a result, it will always start with Windows and will optimize the memory. This is advantageous, because the memory allocated by those programs and device drivers, which had only been running during the start procedure of Windows, will be discarded. Of course, you can add WMI to the StartUp group, instead of MemFree.

WinOff and WinRes

Have you ever wanted to quit your Windows just by a click without moving through the Start Menu->Shut Down->etc. steps?

If you did so the WinOff and WinRes programs will be an aid for you, because they make it really easy to restart (run WinRes.exe or select Restart Windows from the WMI group) or to shut down (run WinOff.exe or select Shut Down Windows from the WMI group) your computer.

Warning: Because these programs have been created for the fastest exit, they don't ask any questions before you leave Windows'9x.

(NOTE: Old versions of  Norton Antivirus report the W95.Spawn.cmp  virus in the WinOff.exe and in the WinRes.exe files. Of course, it's a false alarm unless other virus scanners report the same virus.)
