Dictionary Lookup

UPDATED RELEASE: Final Release (Dec 11, 2007)

Tue, 11 Dec 2007 09:13:24 GMT

A cool dictionary utility that takes up 0% CPU utilization and 0% RAM and may be a few bytes on your hard drive.

I developed this project was developed long ago. I don't intend to make a new release whatsoever.
May be I may migrate it to C#.

On Vista, the application does not natively raise a UAC elevation. It requires administrative privileges.
Once executed, it creates a file "C:\Mugunth.htm" after which it can run on any user account.

When you run this app on Vista, right click the exe and select "Run as Administrator".
Note that, you have to execute this application only once. For referring to the dictionary everytime, this exe need not be executed.

Project Description
A cool lookup utility that uses LookWayUp! dictionary.

How many times have you wished, you had a easy to use dictionary application? You might have downloaded some crippleware dictionary only to find that it had messed up with your system. To end all of these I've written a small program, which does not clutter your notification area, which does not take up CPU cycles, which does not take up any memory...

Infact, the application has to be executed only once to create a registry entry and a file in the root directory after which it need not be executed. You'll see an additional menu item when you select a word and right click it on Internet Explorer.

No memory foot prints, no cpu cycles nothing of any sort.

The application was developed long ago in VC++ 6.0 and I may or may not migrate it to Visual C# 2008 Express.
