Maintain Windows
Windows is a dynamic system that requires regular attention from its users. Because of
this, regular system maintenance should be a priority. TuneUp 1-Click Maintenance can
initiate maintenance of your entire system automatically at predefined times or with a
single click of your mouse. This lets you keep your system in top shape at all times. If you
would like to perform detailed registry maintenance, you can use TuneUp Registry
Cleaner at any time.
Solve problems
If Windows is no longer working properly, the three modules in this category can often be
helpful. TuneUp Disk Doctor examines your system disks for defects or errors in their file
systems. These problems can be fixed quickly. With TuneUp Repair Wizard, you can
solve a number of general computer or display problems. If you have accidentally deleted
important files, you can use TuneUp Undelete for another chance to recover your files.
File recovery is only possible in this case if Windows has not yet overwritten the files with
other data.
Customize Windows
Windows is not as inflexible as you may think. The modules in this category will help you to
customize your Windows system at the click of a mouse. With TuneUp System Control,
for example, you can easily adjust Windows and program settings and Internet options or
change the behavior of the Start menu or taskbar. TuneUp Styler lets you customize the
appearance of Windows.
Additional tools
Five powerful modules are included in this category. TuneUp Uninstall Manager helps
you delete programs that you are no longer using. TuneUp Process Manager manages
the running processes, shows a list of all open files and monitors system resource usage.
TuneUp Registry Editor lets you view and edit keys and values in the registry.
With TuneUp Shredder, you can permanently delete files and folders so that
unauthorized users will never be able to recover them. Finally, TuneUp System
Information gives every user an overview of installed hardware and software, which can
be very useful before performing repairs or modifications on your computer.
Global modules and settings
In addition to the modules within the six main categories, the main window also has three
top-level buttons in a dark gray bar to the right at the top of the window:
