+# QWLaunch #
+
+Many Quicken® software versions do not fully support high DPI settings in
+Windows®.  (These are the settings in **Display** in **Control Panel** that
+allow you to pick 100%, 125%, 150%, 200%, etc. scaling).  Quicken claims to
+properly support this DPI scaling setting, but as many Quicken users can attest,
+this is not always so.
+
+As a compatibility workaround, this program will disable DPI awareness for
+Quicken.  Disabling DPI awareness causes Windows to enable DPI virtualization
+for Quicken.  Essentially, Windows will lie to Quicken and get Quicken to
+render itself at the standard 100% scaling setting.  Then, Windows will upscale
+the image to your chosen scaling setting.  The result works well at the cost of
+blurry text and images.
+
+## Required Build Tools ##
+
+* Visual C#® 2010 or newer (Express versions work fine).  You should target the
+  same version of Microsoft .NET Framework as Quicken does (currently 4.0).
+
+## Build Instructions ##
+
+1. Build the `QWLaunch.sln` solution.  Use the `Release` configuration.
+
+## Install Instructions ##
+
+1. Copy the compiled `bin\Release\QWLaunch.exe` file to your main Quicken
+   directory.  For example, on my 64-bit Windows computer with Quicken installed
+   to the default location, I'd copy it to `C:\Program Files
+   (x86)\Quicken\QWLaunch.exe`.
+
+1. Create a shortcut to the `QWLaunch.exe` file somewhere accessible (e.g. on
+   your desktop and/or in your Start menu).
+
+1. Use your shortcut to `QWLaunch.exe` any time you want to launch Quicken.
+
+## Compatibility ##
+
+This has been tested with Quicken 2014 and Quicken 2015.
+
+## How QWLaunch Works ##
+
+The technique is very simple.  Rather than directly load Quicken's main
+`qw.exe`, we now use a wrapper program.  This wrapper program has a WPF
+attribute set to disable DPI awareness.  It then loads the main Quicken program.
+by loading the Quicken assembly and invoking its `Main` function - all in the
+same process.
