Restore Window
After a window was maximized, restores it to its former size, as if you clicked the restore button.
Log off Windows
In a multi-user environment (Windows NT or multi-profile Windows 95/98), ends every running task, logs off Windows, and goes back to the log-on dialog box.
Reboot system
Ends every running task, exits Windows, and reboots the computer.
Shut down system
Ends every running task, exits Windows, and switches the computer off.
Vertical Scroll
This is an auto-scroll feature. By choosing a second parameter (e.g. Auto Up) in the list, Sensiva can tell the window you are drawing in to scroll its contents vertically in the direction you wish.
Horizontal Scroll
Similar to the Vertical Scroll command, but scrolls go from left to right.
Pause (seconds)
Tells the system to stay idle for the specified number of seconds.
Switch Monitor Power Off
If your monitor and video board are compliant, this command switches it off.
Switch Monitor Power On
Switches your monitor on after it was switched off either by the previous command or by the screen saver.
Launch Screen Saver
Launches the currently set screen saver. Go to the Windows control panel to change the current screen saver.
Windows Start Menu
Opens the Windows Start menu.
Switch to Next Window
Displays the next open application in the multitask environment.
Switch to Previous Window

Left Mouse Button Click
Simulates a left click. Especially useful when the action is launched by typing a shortcut key instead of drawing a symbol. Just create two commands to simulate a left double click. The click is performed at the last current mouse position.
Right Mouse Button Click
Simulates a right click. Similar to the Left Mouse Button Click command.
Middle Mouse Button Click
Simulates a middle click. Similar to the Left Mouse Button Click command.

To make Sensiva type the current date, select the date format in the Parameter list. Particularly useful in an e-mail signature.

Show Desktop
Minimizes all windows in the taskbar, allowing you to see the entire desktop.
