26 Program functions at a glance

Delete swapfile on shutdown (Windows XP): To free up storage space and
ensure that no one can secretly view the file, you can delete the swapfile when
shutting down windows.
Activate boot file defrag: Boot files (files required for starting up the PC) are
automatically defragmented and optimized. This accelerates the boot process,
i.e. startup of the operating system. If the PC takes very long to boot, this
function may have been deactivated by a different program or malicious
software.
Activate Num key automatically (Windows XP): This activates the Num key
automatically at system start. This makes the number block immediately active
whenever the PC starts.
Deactivate Caps Lock: The "Caps lock" key dates back to the era of
typewriters and is mostly obsolete on modern PCs. Sometimes it is even
annoying if activated accidentally. You can deactivate the key entirely here.
Automatically clear the list of recently used documents: Windows stores the
last accessed files and documents automatically and shows them in the
Windows start menu. This history may be deleted each time Windows is
started.
Hide last user on logon screen: The Windows logon screen shows the name
of the last user by default. This feature saves time, but it can also slightly
reduce your system's security. Hiding the last user can increase security.
Log on as administrator (Windows XP): The user account of the administrator
can be displayed on the Windows login screen to allow for convenient logging
in as an administrator.
Swapfile
Optimize (view page 44) your system's virtual RAM! The swapfile is required if
the built-in RAM is not sufficient. The data to be processed is written to the
swapfile on the hard drive. If this is not set optimally, then serious performance
problems may result.
Start menu & taskbar
Here you may configure the appearance of the start menu and the task bar.
