20 TuneUp Utilities 2006
As soon as you click one of the subcategories with your left mouse button, the
available options are shown on the right side of the window. Take a look at all of
the settings that can be configured with the program, you will find many
interesting and useful options.
Note: TuneUp SystemControl adapts to the installed operating system
automatically and only offers the options that are supported by your system.
Don’t be surprised when you see different options under Windows 98 and
Windows XP, for example. If you need help with a particular setting in TuneUp
SystemControl, use the integrated context-sensitive help, which can be accessed
through the context menu for nearly every option.
Tip: Use the context-sensitive help!
Click any option in TuneUp SystemControl with your right mouse
button and select What’s This? to view detailed information for the
selected option.
