Amazing what you find when you're looking <smile>. I've been a user of Tune-Up Utilities for quite some time now, every time I get a few moments to explore the system I'm always finding out something new or finding something in the system I didn't know existed before.
I just happened to look in my system tray and found 3 options for Tune-Up Utilities I never knew existed, "Standard", "turbo" and "Economy" modes. In "Standard" mode Tune-Up Utilities does nothing, in other words it leaves things alone. In "Turbo" and Economy" modes wizards are presented to allow you to change various settings. If you select "Turbo" mode, you're walked through a series of steps which allow you to disable various pieces of software and services which are loaded at start-up which may not be required, services which are vary rarely used or perhaps never used at all and so on. In "Economy Mode" a wizard is presented which walks you through various processes which include adjusting power settings and various other parameters which may save your machines battery power. Tune-Up Utilities makes a point that all these settings and adjustments can be modified by the user manually if required and even provides tools to help you do this if you're not feeling too comfortable going into the registry or other utilities to do Tweaking and this is a good thing, even the most advanced users can type a wrong character or modify a wrong value resulting in near disaster and other problems, I modified something in the start-up part of my registry not long ago only to discover that the next time I booted my PC I had no sound thus no voice or Screen reader to work with, thank god for the external voice synthesiser and "Rollback" <smile>. ======================================= The Techno-Chat E-Mail forum is guaranteed malware, spyware, Trojan, virus and worm-free To modify your subscription options, please visit for forum's dedicated web pages located at http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/mailman/listinfo/techno-chat You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Techno-Chat group at either of the following websites: http://mail.tft-bbs.co.uk/pipermail/techno-chat/index.html Or: <http://www.mail-archive.com/techno-chat@techno-chat.net> you may also subscribe to this list via RSS.
