Introduction

Advanced Uninstaller is more than an application manager. With the capacity to soup up your Registry and spruce up your Start menu, this powerful organizer unclutters your PC. No matter how tidy a person you consider yourself to be or how vigilant you are at keeping your personal effects in good shape, it is likely that your PC is in a much less organized state.

You may believe your desktop to be a haven of tranquility, with its handful of icons all lined up neatly with the carefully-selected wallpaper background, but there is likely to be all manner of mayhem going on behind the scenes. You may be ever so careful about the programs you choose to download from the Web, but unless you have your firewall cranked right up, a few things may have side-stepped your vigilant eye and could be causing your machine to perform at a less than optimum pace. Every time you open a Web site, suspicious characters such as pop-ups, cookies and temporary files invite themselves onto your machine and take up a shadowy residence in the hope that you don't have the software or curiosity to chase them out.

Besides these more shady sorts are endless amounts of unused or expired program files, plug-ins, URL records and History records loitering about after your last time on the Web. In this tutorial, we're going to introduce you to Advanced Uninstaller – a system management application that helps you complete a range of standard computer cleansing tasks, wrapped up in one free download.

If you want to tackle the number of cookies installed on your system, give your computer a good defragment and generally spring-clean your startup application list. Advanced Uninstaller will prove to be a delight. It's a flexible, easy-to-use program geared to tackling these important tasks and a whole lot more besides, to make sure your system is running as efficiently as possible. It will pretty much guarantee that you'll receive no nasty surprises when innocently demanding your machine to perform another task. All of the program’s operations are aided by a very friendly wizard, who guides you through your chosen cleaning procedure, and the functions are all completed with a simple drag and drop.

So rather than wondering why your PC is running so sluggishly, just load up Advanced Uninstaller PRO, an easy to use suite for uninstalling applications and keeping your computer clean, fast and in its best shape. All features of Advanced Uninstaller PRO are designed to be both safe and easy to use.

You can easily uninstall programs by selecting the application from a list, or by dragging and dropping a file or shortcut on the Advanced Uninstaller PRO desktop icon.

The Startup Manager gives you control over the programs that are automatically started by Windows, and offers you detailed information about each one of them, including advice about what the program does and whether you should disable it or not. Advanced Uninstaller PRO includes a huge knowledge base containing startup program descriptions.

This new release contains a powerful registry cleaner, defragmenter and optimizer which will help you keep your registry fast, clean and easily accessible by all programs. A registry backup utility is also included.

The Quick Cleaner will allow you to perform a one step clean-up of your computer and to protect your privacy. It can safely delete the Internet visited pages history, the web addresses you typed, the Internet cookies and also the recently open files list for more than 100 applications, including Microsoft Office, Windows Media Player, ICQ, MSN, WinZip, RealPlayer, Kazaa, WinAmp, etc.

Advanced Uninstaller PRO also enables you to remove all not working Start Menu shortcuts, to hide and show them at your will and to alphabetically sort the entire Start Menu.

Some other important functions of Advanced Uninstaller PRO are: finding and deleting garbage and temporary files left behind by Windows, Internet Explorer and other applications, detailed Internet Explorer configuration by enabling or disabling its toolbars, plug-ins and BHOs, a nice and powerful font manager, a Control Panel manager and many, many more.

General Tools
		Launch Advanced Uninstaller and choose 'Uninstall Programs' from the 'General Tools' menu to launch a list of applications on your computer. Click the box next to any unwanted element and then 'Uninstall checked programs'. Click 'OK' to confirm your choice.
		This tool allows you to access the Installation and Uninstallation monitor. By using it you will be able to uninstall programs that have been monitored during their installation or install a new application.
		This tool deals with programs that launch when you start up. Click 'Startup Manager' and the current list is revealed. Click a program and 'Show more info' to gauge its importance and click 'Disable' to remove it from the list.
		The Services Manager allows you to easily take control of services that are started each time you use your computer. Note: This tool is not available for Windows versions that don't use services.
		With all the sprucing tools available in this busy program, you could spend precious minutes tweaking your system to perfection. But should you just want to keep on top of things or run a swift eye over your machine, the Advanced Uninstaller Quick Cleaner will perform a quick system scour to remove a range of unwanted elements in a click.
		The next phase of tools tackles the 'Start' menu. The top option lets you hide any unwanted programs from the list. Just tick each one and click 'Apply. Now choose 'Start menu cleaner'. This wizard will remove any broken shortcuts.
		If you are unsure about removing a Start Menu item or folder you can simply hide it. In case you will ever need it later all you will have to do is a simple button click to unhide it!
		The Font Manager works the same way. Click an installed font you don't recognize and a sample appears in the pane to the right. To disable any unwanted elements, select the font and click 'Disable'. Highlight and choose 'Enable' to undo.
		The Control Panel Manager lets you examine, disable and uninstall Control Panel items. Click the button and browse the list of items. To test what each element does, highlight and click 'Run selected'. To remove or disable it, simply click the relevant icon.


File and Folder Tools
		Some times you might end up saving the same file several times. The Duplicate Files tool allows you to scan your computer for duplicate files, zero-sized files and empty folders.
		Helps you use the live file compression feature built into Windows and save precious disk space.
		Helps you prevent file recovery by safely overwriting the items you wish to delete multiple times, with random data, and then deleting them. This ensures that nobody can recover them, and this includes computer repair guys, thieves and government agencies with sophisticated computer forensics tools.
		Temp files are left behind by a variety of visited programs. To free some disk space, click this option and a wizard launches. Click 'Next' and Advanced Uninstaller will start totting up your temp files. To remove, click 'Delete' for a neat task summary.


Internet Explorer Browser Tools
		To make sure peeping Thomases don't see where you've surfed before, you can manage your traces with the Browsing History tool. Click the option for a comprehensive list of past places. Tick those to remove and click 'Delete'.
		You can use the 'Cookie Manager' to remove any rogue elements from your machine. Click the tool and a list of cookies installed launches. Highlight an entry for a summary of its values, or cross the box next to it and click 'Delete' to remove it from the list.
		Internet Explorer offers several ways in which other programs can change it's behavior and improve it's features. For example, Internet Explorer can not, by itself, display highly animated web sites. But, because Internet Explorer can be extended, another company called Macromedia has created an extension plug-in called Flash, which can display multimedia web sites. Many other enhancements, like download managers, etc, are also available.
		Should you want to remain ultra secretive about where you've been on the Web, Delete Temporary Internet Files' for good measure. Use the buttons to specify dates or files for removal, search for a keyword or remove the lot.

		A much-needed task for weary computers is a Registry defragmentation, although many people don't get around to this as often as they should. Put Advanced Uninstaller to work with the 'Registry optimizer'. When this is done, click 'Registry backup/restore' to save your good work.
