Jedi Knight 2 Minimizer Readme
------------------------------
This is a Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast minimizer, meaning that you can
use two hotkeys to minimize and restore Jedi Knight 2 while it is running.
To use this application:
1. Unzip the archive to any directory, such as your Jedi Knight 2 directory
2. Start the application, it loads a small icon to the System Tray area
3. Start Jedi Knight 2 as you normally would
4. During the game, at any time, press
CTRL + Z to minimize Jedi Knight 2
CTRL + SHIFT + Z to restore it again
5. You can also click on the icon when Jedi Knight 2 is minimized to restore it
The icon in System Tray shows the status of Jedi Knight 2. If Jedi Knight 2 is running, the icon looks like the standard Jedi Knight 2 shortcut icon. If it is not running, the icon has a small circle and a line drawn over it, like a 'stop' sign.
Right-clicking on the icon will pop up a small menu, from which you can get About & Quick help and close the application.
