Font Smoothing
To improve the legibility of text on your computer, here you can select your preferred font smoothing method.
The font smoothing type ClearType merits special attention: it is particularly suitable for flat-screen monitors
(TFT and LCD) and makes use of their so-called subpixels to effectively smooth the edges of even small fonts.
Select ClearType and click on ClearType Settings to obtain the optimum adjustment of ClearType smoothing to
your screen.
File Types
Menu Operations
Under Drives and folders, you can configure their context menus.
The Show "Open Command Prompt Here" entry opens the command prompt at the desired location. You can
execute DOS commands via the command prompt.
Under Files and folders you can specify what commands are to be shown in the context menus of files and fold-
ers. Here, the four commands Send To, Move To Folder, Copy To Folder and Encrypt/Decrypt can be dis-
played. The checkbox is active for commands that are already enabled.
Selecting Default settings restores the Windows default settings.
Menu "New"
Here you can select which file types should be shown in the New submenu of the context menu for the desktop,
Explorer and the "Save" dialog. Use the checkboxes to set which file types should be displayed.
Select Remove to remove a selected entry from the list completely. Select Add... to include other file types in the
list.
Under Options, you can specify whether the "New" menu should appear in the context menu of the desktop
and the free area of folder windows.
Opening Files
Here you can select how Windows should proceed when opening files with unknown extensions. Under Default
application, you can specify that either the "Open with" dialog is displayed or that a file is automatically
accessed with a certain program (for example with Notepad). To do so, write the start name of the desired pro-
gram in the field. Alternatively, select a program via Edit.
