Windows Vista and its predecessors are installed on most of the computers in use around
the world. Windows is, after all, a great system for performing standard tasks, using
applications and managing files. But if a user wants to adjust, optimize or trim down the
system, it stops being quite so easy. Many desirable functions are not even possible with
the on-board Windows tools.
Just about anything can be adjusted in Windows. Windows decides which applications will
start automatically with your system. Windows determines which commands are visible in
the Start menu. Windows also determines how icons on the desktop appear. The only
question is: How can the user change these options?
Ask the expert. All important settings are hidden in the Windows boot files and theregistry.
The registry is the central database for Windows, in which settings for all applications and
hardware modules are stored. Using the right tools, you can open this special database and
change its settings. The problem is that only experienced users know how to change the
right settings among the cryptic entries in the registry. Most users don't understand a word
of the information contained in an open registry file. Even if you know the registry entries
inside and out, a small typo in the registry can still lead to serious consequences and even
complete system failure.
That's where TuneUp Utilities 2009 comes in. The software helps both beginners and
experts to make Windows meet their needs in a way that is better, easier and safer. All
important system options are explained in an easy way and can be turned on or off at the
click of your mouse.
TuneUp Utilities 2009 will then make the necessary changes in the registry or boot files
automatically. We place a high value on system stability, so that Windows won't stop
working reliably. And most changes that you make can be undone in TuneUp Rescue
Center
Nearly everything
can be changed - if
you know where
and how.
- easily and safely.
The program also gives you many more options. In addition to helping you make Windows
"better looking", you can also clean up and optimize your system at the click of a mouse.
TuneUp Utilities 2009 will clean up unnecessary data from your hard disk and remove
unnecessary entries from your registry. It can defragment your hard disk and registry and
optimize your system settings to make Windows run substantially faster. Much of this
maintenance is performed automatically for you every week by 1-Click Maintenance.
