Default Simple Windows timer app

The date is 05/12/2017 18:36

1. Download http://www.bttsoftware.co.uk/download/eggtimer.zip
and archive into C:\software\hardware\alarm\eggtimer\eggtimer.zip
2. Extract to C:\apps\hardware\alarm\eggtimer\EggTimer.exe
3. Add shortcut in Start Apps Alarm EggTimer.lnk


Typo in the shortcut hierarchy ... see below ... fixed.

Archive:
C:\software\hardware\alarm\eggtimer\eggtimer.zip

Install:
C:\apps\hardware\alarm\eggtimer\EggTimer.exe

Shortcut:
Start Hardware Alarm EggTimer.lnk

BTW: It doesn't matter what path you use, but all 3 should all be the same.

The actual organizational scheme doesn't matter; what matters is that the
archives, applications, and shortcuts on all machines you use make sense to
you and that the 3 locations are consistent (the least important one being
the installation hierarchy because you rarely interact with it - while you
often interact with the archive & shortcut hierarchies).

That way, you *always* know exactly where everything is on all machines,
and you *never* (in decades!) need to use a "search" button ever just to
find your own stuff!
