Contacts 1. What is WinTools.net? WinTools.net is a suite of tools for increasing operating system performance. WinTools.net cleanly removes unwanted software from disk drives and dead references from the Windows registry. WinTools.net puts you in control of the Windows start up process, memory monitoring and gives you the power to customize desktop and system settings to fit your needs. System requirements. OS Windows 98SE/Me/2000/XP/2003/VISTA x86 Minimum screen resolution 640x480 Pentium processor and above 16 Mb RAM 5 Mb free disk space Attention! To use this program you need the administrator`s rights. Before working with the WinTools.net we recommend that you close all other applications and create registry backup. 2. Features Wintools features the following tools: Clean Uninstaller - This tool is used for both correctly removing software and for monitoring changes made to the hard drive, MS Windows registry and system files during program installations. When you uninstall different software, temporary files and files not deleted in the process of uninstallation often remain on the hard disk. These files are no longer used, they take up disk space and increase disk access times. With the help of the tool "Clean Uninstaller" you can solve that problem. You can also control the installation process of program, monitor installed files and changes made to the Windows registry system files during installation. Scan Files - This tool is used for periodic cleaning of your hard drive from dead references, junk and obsolete files produced by different software. These files and references remain on the hard disk and increase drive access time. When different programs are running, temporary files necessary for the proper functioning those programs are created on hard disk. Quite often these temporary files are not deleted. The temporary files remain on hard disk, occupy the space and sometimes slowing the work of your computer. The tool "Scan Files" is used for periodic cleaning of the computer from temporary and unused files. Scan Registry - This tool is used for periodic cleaning of the MS Windows registry from unused applications remained after uninstallation and from invalid references which decrease system speed and system loading time. Many programs store information about themselves in the Windows registry; these programs add new file extension associations and install components of their own. Far too often, the unistallation methods used by these programs fail to remove their information from the registry adding unnecessary bloat. After several series of installation/uninstallation, the Windows registry becomes bigger and bigger; computer power declines and program access times increase. The "Scan Registry" tool serves for periodic cleaning of the registry and for correcting incorrect registry records. Start Up - This is a startup manager. This tool allows you to monitor, add, remove, enable and/or disable individual startup items. You can also adjust applications initialized during the loading process of the operating system. Many programs "consider" themselves the most important programs in a system: they place themselves in startup and in a System Tray of a system. This leads to unreasonable using of system resources, of random access memory; and finally, to reducing processor power. As a rule, such programs write information about themselves not in the Start section of the "Startup" menu, but in the Windows registry without leaving the option to the user and complicating the process of checking the autothread process. The "Start Up" tool monitors all records about autothread and allows to delete/add and temporarily disable records. Tweak UI - This is a set of additional adjustments related to safety, system capacity and user preferences and which are not included into basic components of MS Windows. Adjustments are divided into six groups: Global - adjustments which allow for changing system files and registration information. Desktop â?? a set of adjustments that can be made to the desktop. System â?? system settings, ways of the loading of a system and devices. StartMenu â?? a change of the interface of a Start menu. Security â?? an adjustment of security of a system. Ctrl Panel â?? a manager of the bars used for the administration of a system. 3.
