Show all files: Windows hides some files and folders so that they cannot be
changed or deleted accidentally by users. If you need to see these files after
all you can activate this setting to make all files visible.
Delete immediately - do not add to recycle bin (Windows XP): Normally, files
are moved into the Recycle Bin when they are deleted conventionally. This
makes it easy to restore a file. If you are certain that you want to delete a file
and won't need it ever again, then this function will delete the file without
adding it to the Recycle Bin. The files will be deleted directly to free up disk
space.
Deactivate CD/DVD auto-play: Activate this setting if you no longer want
CDs/DVDs to start automatically when they are inserted into the drive.
Deactivate Windows "Low storage space" warning (Windows XP): If memory
sinks below 200 MB while you are working at your PC, then Windows issues a
warning. These warning messages can be deactivated. PC check and tuning
can also warn you about low memory.
Optimize Windows
Loading optimization: Through pre- or super-fetching in Windows XP or Vista,
programs are preloaded in the background in order to accelerate the actual
start of this program. However, if you do not use these programs, memory
resources are simply wasted. This "pre-loading" may, in this case, be
deactivated.
Automatic network search deactivation: By default, Windows searches for
connected networks and network drives. This search may take up some time.
You can deactivate this function if you don't need the automatic search.
Shut down non-responsive programs faster: During PC shut-down, Windows
turns off all processes and programs. If a program or process does not
respond, the operating system waits a certain time, before a corresponding
message appears. Here you may shorten this time, so that the message
appears right away, and the program/process may be ended sooner.
Start settings
Improve your PC's startup time, and increase shutdown, too.
Automatically register the following users during Windows start: For
Windows XP and Vista, user accounts may be set up in order to be able to log
into the operating system with a personal profile. Enter the user that should be
loaded automatically without asking here.
