Ute is a compact utility with Time Syncing, Window Shutdown control, Wave File playing, Delayed / Controlled Running and Wallpaper
Changing capabilities. It is a collection of Sinner Computing utilities (iTimeSync, Slam and QWave.) with two new functions are also added.
(Run and Wallpaper.) It is optimised for Command Line Control but the Wallpaper Changer and iTimeSync can also be operated in window mode.
(N.B. Ute is a 32 bit Windows program, not a command line program.)
All of the functions have logging functions and settings that are saved for default use. Many of these settings can be overridden or
changed when run in Command Line Mode. Ute requires around 150kb of hard drive space.
