Keyboard Tweaker 2.2 Qs

This program looked a little strange upon install. I also now have an empty folder in my windows folder named PIF. Is this program safe? Thanks! (Running XP SP2)

 

No one can answer this for me?

 

It is safe
Keyboard Tweaker 2.2
Keyboard Tweaker is a Hotkeys manager. It transform a normal keyboard with 101/102 keys into a multimedia keyboard using the hotkeys. The program sets some combinations to the keyboard keys for a function.

For example Ctrl+Alt+A may run one of the functions:

* Speaker Volume Up
* Speaker Volume Down
* Speaker Mute
* calculator, paint, solitaire, notepad or any other executable located on the hard drive
* any kind of file with the associated program (like *.jpg)
* e-mails
* URLs
* local paths (like C:\)
* network paths (like \\Computer)
* Hide/Show the application
* icon attachment for every keys combination
* lovely graphic interface
* graphic detail configuration
* skinable interface
* easy configuration
* support for Windows 2k/XP opacity (alpha blend)
* registry configuration
* minimize to System tray

 

Alright, it's safe, but what is this PIF folder in my Windows folder?

 

A program information file (PIF) is created when you create a shortcut to, or modify the properties of, an MS-DOS-based program. PIFs allow you to set default properties for MS-DOS programs, such as font size, screen colors, and memory allocation.
When you change any settings in an MS-DOS-based program, a PIF is automatically created. The settings you specify will be used each time you start the program by double-clicking its icon. If you start the program from a command prompt window, these settings won't be used.
Creating a program information file (PIF) for an MS-DOS-based program creates a shortcut to the program executable. All the settings saved in the PIF file are contained in the shortcut. Windows displays PIF files as shortcuts.

 

Well it wasn't a PIF file but a PIF folder with nothing in it.

 

Is there a difference between the PIF folder and a .PIF file?

 

I mean, it shouldn't just create a directory in the Windows folder, correct?

 

Does anybody else have a PIF folder in their Windows folder?
