1.) Purpose:
------------
A filename written in capital letters visually occupies more space and looks LOUD - as if it is YELLING at you. 'Stop Yell' automatically converts the selected filenames written in capital letters into easily readable formats, even capitalizing each word.

Using the Advanced Options, you can even remove any extra spaces from between the words, or remove all digits, or even replace any charector or word with another from any number of files, in one go !!

Whats more, if you do not like the new look of your files, you can always Undo the last job you did !

'Stop Yell' renames all selected files on your disk automatically and makes them look gracefull and relatively more readable just as you always wanted. It can also work on nested sub-directories.

You can also use 'Stop Yell' to quickly civilize any number of filenames. Use it to correct the display of filenames, just before you put up a directory listing on a HTML or a FTP file server. 'Stop Yell' can also be deployed before writing CDs to make the directory listing more easy on the eyes. 

The utility has a tiny footprint, is optimized for Pentium processors and comes with an uninstaller too.
Whats more, the latest version supports Shell Extensions, which means that you can right-click on any directory folder and directly 'Stop Yell' the files within.

eg.:
fILENAME hUNDERED.tXt   -->> Filename Hundred.txt
123MANIA.mp3		-->> 123mania.mp3
editor-LETTER.doc	-->> Editor-Letter.doc  (see more examples in Help file)

Advanced Action:
02_(peaches_and_cream)-all___over_the_world__snoox_bmi.MP3 -->> (Peaches And Cream)-All Over The World Snoox Bmi.mp3


2.) Installation Procedure:
---------------------------
The software basically needs a few files which are tucked aways in its installed diectory, and to ease the process of installation, an automated setup file has been included.

To install, Just execute the file Setup.exe, which should be in the Stopyell.zip file.
The process is fully automated and has full onscreen instructions, requiring minimum user intervention.

Stop Yell should run on Windows 95/98/2000 without any problems. Windows NT has not been tested, but should not pose any problems.

By default the program will install in the C:\Program Files\StopYell directory, but this path can be modified easily.

Also, Stop Yell requires the presence of Visual Basic 6 runtime libraries, which will automatically be installed if not found on your system.

The installation file has a '.msi' extension, because it is compiled as a Microsoft Installer Package. You should be able to install the software just be double clicking the file. If not, then this means, either you are not using Windows 2000, or that you have never installed a Windows Installer Based package before, like MS Office 2000. In this case, the Windows Installer exe file can be downloaded for your operating system for FREE from www.microsoft.com

NOTE: Please uninstall any previous versions of Stop Yell from your computer, prior to installing this version.

The program can be uninstalled from the Windows Add/remove feature. Please do not delete the files manually.

3.) Release Status:
-------------------
The software has been released as a FREEWARE and is intended to be distributed and used free of cost. As such, the software is FULLY FUNCTIONAL and is not limited in any manner.
The only requirement is that 'Stop Yell' should always be distributed in it's original ZIP file, consisting of the original setup and support files such as the Readme.txt file.

You are encouraged to pass on this utility to your friends and relatives.
