How to start Secondshell with Windows?
The easiest way is to make a shortcut in the startup folder. Right-click the start button, select open. Navigate to Programs\Startup. Now open the folder where secondshell.exe is decompressed, press and hold Ctrl+Shift and drag it to the startup folder to create a shortcut to it. (At least this is how you do it on XP and Vista, dunno really about Win7)

How do I use SecondShell?
Once you started it, you can right-click the tray icon and press DisplayShortcuts to see what keys or mouse movements are currently assigned to SecondShell's features. You can edit secondshell.ini to change the hotkeys. Using them are meant to be quite self-explanatory. If you still need help, ask in the "Make yourself heard" page.
