PREFSOVERLOAD 5.0 FOR MAC OS AND MAC OS X RELEASED.
PrefsOverload 4 won the 2002 Cubie Award only a week ago and today I'm
proud to announce the release of PrefsOverload 5.0. This version includes a
lot of new and/or improved features, such as full Finder integration via
drag and drop, faster file listing performance and so on.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
PrefsOverload is a full-featured tool for managing the Preferences Folder,
which contains your various "Preference Files". Preference Files are those
files in which applications store their settings and other information.
After System 7, all these files have been enclosed in the "Preferences
Folder". Preferences are important files, but sometimes they can turn out
to be completely unnecessary. This can occur, for example, when their
mother application doesn't exist--or no longer exists--on your computer.
Over time the Preferences Folder will slowly grow and may become filled
with files created by trashed demo applications, or applications used for a
short time only or not used at all. The trouble is that all these unused or
unusable files still continue to take up valuable disk space! Another
problem is that sometimes an application may fail to start-up because it
happens to have a Preference File that has become damaged, or "corrupted".
In such a case you will need to delete this file, after which the
application will create a fresh Preference File and will run as it did
before the problem occurred.
PrefsOverload was designed to resolve both problems. It can browse the
Preferences Folder, allowing you to detect unnecessary preferences files,
thanks to the information it gives you. Or it can display a list of
probably unnecessary or damaged Preference Files, allowing you to delete
them or to put them into the trash. Also PrefsOverload allows to search for
specific Preference Files, by their type/creator or their
creation/modification date and so on=8A

MAIN FEATURES

-- Accurate scanning, based on mother application, modification date and
internal preferences database.
-- Not only displays if a file is possibly unnecessary, but also displays a
rating on the side.

folders of all operating systems on your computer (including MacOS X) and of
all MacOS X users, logging in as root user.
