2. Features
Wintools features the following tools:
Clean Uninstaller - This tool is used for both correctly removing

software and for monitoring changes made to the hard drive,
MS Windows registry and system files during program installations.
When you uninstall different software, temporary files and files

not deleted in the process of uninstallation often remain on the
hard disk. These files are no longer used, they take up disk space
and increase disk access times. With the help of the tool "Clean
Uninstaller" you can solve that problem. You can also control the
installation process of program, monitor installed files and changes
made to the Windows registry system files during installation.
Scan Files - This tool is used for periodic cleaning of your hard
drive from dead references, junk and obsolete files produced by
different software. These files and references remain on the hard
disk and increase drive access time.
When different programs are running, temporary files necessary for
the proper functioning those programs are created on hard disk.
Quite often these temporary files are not deleted. The temporary
files remain on hard disk, occupy the space and sometimes slowing
the work of your computer. The tool "Scan Files" is used for periodic
cleaning of the computer from temporary and unused files.
Scan Registry - This tool is used for periodic cleaning of the

MS Windows registry from unused applications remained after
uninstallation and from invalid references which decrease system
speed and system loading time.
Many programs store information about themselves in the Windows

registry; these programs add new file extension associations and
install components of their own. Far too often, the unistallation
methods used by these programs fail to remove their information from
the registry adding unnecessary bloat. After several series of
installation/uninstallation, the Windows registry becomes bigger
and bigger; computer power declines and program access times increase.
The "Scan Registry" tool serves for periodic cleaning of the registry
and for correcting incorrect registry records.
Start Up - This is a startup manager. This tool allows you to monitor,

add, remove, enable and/or disable individual startup items. You can
also adjust applications initialized during the loading process of
the operating system.
Many programs "consider" themselves the most important programs in

a system: they place themselves in startup and in a System Tray of
a system. This leads to unreasonable using of system resources, of
random access memory; and finally, to reducing processor power. As
a rule, such programs write information about themselves not in the
Start section of the "Startup" menu, but in the Windows registry without
leaving the option to the user and complicating the process of checking
the autothread process. The "Start Up" tool monitors all records about
autothread and allows to delete/add and temporarily disable records.
Tweak UI - This is a set of additional adjustments related to safety,

system capacity and user preferences and which are not included into
basic components of MS Windows.
Adjustments are divided into six groups:
Global - adjustments which allow for changing system files and

registration information.
Desktop � a set of adjustments that can be made to the desktop.
System � system settings, ways of the loading of a system and devices.
StartMenu � a change of the interface of a Start menu.
Security � an adjustment of security of a system.
Ctrl Panel � a manager of the bars used for the administration of
a system.
Net Tweaker - tool is used for speed increasing of data transfer by

changing hidden network settings. With equal speed connection on
different computers different speed of data transfer is possible.
The thing is TCP/IP is for transfer of packets of data. The packets
can be of different degree of compression, of different size, time of
life, can have different error repeats� That is why under different
settings, equal speed of connection completely different speed of data
transfer is possible. Changing settings with the help of "Net Tweak"
tool you can get more stable work with bad connection(at the same time
you can lose some speed) or you can get higher speed of data transfer
with good connection at the expense of stability which will be
provided by good connection line anyway.
The Privacy - This is a kit of tools which ensure your privacy and
keep sensitive information secure.
While you are working on your computer the system monitors the so
called "history" and saves it. All information about your work in
the Internet - when and which sites you visited, of what content,
which programs downloaded, with which documents you worked, which
and whom you wrote, what you looked for, which folders you opened,
what computers you connected to - all that and a lot of other
information is left on your computer. Any person who has an access
to your PC can easily access this information and monitor practically
your every step. Besides he/she can collect compromising information
about you. In that situation confidentiality can not be guaranteed.
So much accessible information about you not only destroys your
privacy but also slows down your computer. All this information is
kept on your hard drive, in the system registry. Besides the history
of started programs, history of the search, history of last opened
documents is constantly loading by the system and "eats" RAM of
your computer. "The Privacy" tool will let you work on the computer
not leaving traces of your activities. It consists of three basic
parts: "Objects to Erase", "Invisible Man" and "File Shredder".
