User's Manual

Customize Windows

As soon as the program opens, the various Categories that you can configure are

shown on the left side of the window. These categories are Appearance, Usage,

Communication, Administration and Wizards. Each of these categories contains

multiple subcategories.

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.

All the settings should be self-explaining. If you nontheless wish more detailed

information for single options you can simply click on Help in the upper right

corner or press F1: you directly jump to the help for the category you're just on.

Note: TuneUp System Control 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 XP and

Windows Vista, for example.

Appearance Category

In this TuneUp System Control category, you specify exactly which of the

Windows visual effects you wish to use, configure how file types are handled

and specify how folder windows and the Explorer should look and act.

Usage Category

In this TuneUp System Control category, you can configure a wide range of

mouse and keyboard options, customize the items that are shown in the Start

menu and the menu opening delay, and can configure the behavior of the taskbar.

Communication Category

In this TuneUp System Control category, you can configure the network

behavior of Windows and can adapt Internet Explorer and Outlook Express or

Office Outlook to your needs. You can also speed up surfing on the Internet and

protect your privacy by preventing certain programs from automatically

contacting servers from Microsoft and other companies.

Administration Category

This category in TuneUp System Control gives you control over a large

number of internal system settings. You can customize the boot process and how

users log on, automatic CD playback, user data, the special system folders and

the default settings for the command prompt.
