Autostart Console2 with Multiple Tabs

So I have a nifty little trick I use to run a yakuake like shell in my Windows Desktop.  That way I run it with F12, then hide it when not in use with F12.  It's great.  But I wanted to run my MUTT mail program when I started it the first time and then just leave it running in the background to check emails as I go.  I accomplished this with a nifty little command from console2 itself.  No more wasted memory, no more having something open in my taskbar or icon bar, everything is self contained and memory limited!

First off how to make a yakuake like shell on windows Desktop.  Check here for directions on how to do that:

Quake (Yakuake) style Dropdown console

Now to the Mutt stuff!! ha ha

Firstly go into console settings by right clicking the black area and go to Edit->Settings:

Now once in you want to add a new tab to the tab options, call it whatever you like.  I called mine Mutt, appropriately.



Leave default options for now, maybe change your startup dir from Desktop to just your users profile. Now just OK and exit the console2 window by typing exit into it.

Now you want to edit your AutoStart key file to autoload console2 with the two tabs and mutt autoloaded!!



You want to replace the line that says "Run Console.exe" with this line:

Run Console.exe -t Main -t Mutt -r C:\mutt\mutt.bat

And replace the location of mutt with your location from the install of mutt for windows.  You can get Mutt for windows here:
Mutt Windows 32-Bit

What you are telling it is -t means Tab, and -r means run.  So open two tabs and in second tab RUN X command.

There you have it, you first load windows in, call F12 to load your console, maybe 20MB of ram max.  It automatically loads a console window and MUTT!!  Enjoy, no more having Gmail open or Outlook or Thunderbird those memory HOG apps!!

New Payment Methods

Microtronix is proud to announce we now accept BitCoins in our payment methods.  This is an effort to allow all those NET users that have BitCoins to be able to purchase our products and use that eMoney at their will.

Right now we allow manual payments through the system, you make your order, then send the money and once received we will activate your order and products.

We are working diligently to make our BitCoin payments automatic and immediate over the payment page.  Though this is not done yet, you can still pay using BitCoins.  The more use of BitCoins we see on our site the faster the development of an automatic payment processor with our system will go.

So use up those coins!

Microt1 Server Migration

We are currently in the process of migrating our microt1 server to a new server unit, a Dell PowerEdge brand new.  This process will render a few of our sites for the clients that are on that server on hold, you might notice your email won't go out or come in and your page won't come up.

This will be intermittent for the next few hours as we migrate.  Unfortunately this was a last minute decision we made to move, we were having trouble on the old server and we made this decision to better serve our customers.

Please don't worry during this move, none of your emails nor data will be lost, this is a standard migration from servers.

Thank you for your patience and please check our forum out for more information at:

FastCat CP v1

In an effort to make server management easier and more efficient Microtronix has done it again.  We are unveiling our new FastCat program, FastCat CP!  This FastCat is for WHM/cPanel management of servers.  It works for both root accounts and reseller accounts.

We are the first of our kind, no other windows software administers WHM, we are it!!

Why waiste time trying to log into WHM on the web for basic routine things.  Use our program instead.  Our new FastCat program sits in your tray and allows you to restart services on your server, view accounts and bandwidth usage, un/suspend account and change passwords, view their disk space usage and much more.

Our software also keeps track of server load averages automatically and PING reponse times also automatically.  All of this without ever leaving your desktop.  You don't need to remember passwords to servers and WHM panels anymore, just use our software.

Like all our FastCat line of products we believe in simplicity, while other programs use 30MB of ram and some Adobe Air products use well over 250MB, we have kept it simple and only use a total of 5MB of RAM to run our new FastCat CP program!  WOW!

Don't worry about security either, we use SSL to connect to your server and don't use the password either, we require the WHM Hash key to connect this way all is safe for your server and your information stored in the program.

If you own or manage a server give our software a try today, get a 12 day free trial and see what all the hype is about.

Wait there's more, always right, we are now offering a full support and upgrade plan included with the software.  Instead of paying a one-time fee, why not get support and FREE upgrades included in your price.  Sign up for our upgrade and support option when you buy the software, then no one-time fee, you only pay a monthly fee for using the software.  Then you get support from our staff including free remote sessions if needed for support and install.  Also you get FREE upgrades when they come available.  Since WHM and cPanel change and add to their panels and API constantly, we will be adding new features to our software constantly!  So why not buy the upgrade plan and when we make a new version, you get it automatically if your an active upgrade member, without even having to ask we send you the new version of the software whenever it comes out, all this for a small monthly fee.
