F11.exe from cheaptech software

Implements a DFA
so you know it's good.

All right one day I was sitting at my Windows 2000 workstation and I hit the F11 key expecting all of my open windows to slide away to reveal the desktop. Obviously, this didn't happen but for a good half second or so I couldn't figure out why.

Don't let it happen to you!

F11.exe puts an icon in the System Tray, activating the desktop reveal whenever you press the F11 key. A tap of the F11 key will toggle the desktop reveal, but if you hold the key down, the windows will come back to the center when you release.

VB6 Source code

I don't even know if I should have to apologize for the visual basic source code but it is bad. In the interest of Rapid Application Development™ I made it extra cheap, meaning I don't understand the VB object model so pretty much everything in the project has global visibility so that the code could work together.

I am in the process of rewriting this using MFC/C++.
