Help for the Reiniger (Version 2.20DD/DE Pro)
TEMP-Directory-Cleaner  Reiniger

WICHTIG: Die Dateien VBRUN200.DLL und SPACE.DLL müssen installiert sein !	Registration

The 'Reiniger' checks the contents of the temporary directory, which is set in the AUTOEXEC.BAT by 'SET TEMP='.

The Reiniger-window will only appear, if temporary files are found,
this means: if you run the program and nothing happens you can be sure that there are no temporary files.

In case you want to force the program to run anyway (e.g. for Installation/Uninstallation) you can make the Reinigers start with the command 'Reiniger /s'.

Installation

In the menu 'Options' select 'Install'.

The REINIGER.EXE was now copied to the WINDOWS-directory together with the required files (SPACE.DLL and REINIGER.HLP). An entry in the WIN.INI causes the Reiniger to search for files in the temporary directory at each WINDOWS-startup. If there are no files found, no message will appear.

In case there is a CTL3D.DLL in the SYSTEM-directory it is supported by the Reiniger (additional 3D-functions).

Uninstallation

In the menu 'Options' select 'Uninstall'.

The entry in the WIN.INI was disposed. However , all the installed programs (see above) are still present in the WINDOWS-directory. The Reiniger can so be started again from there.

Viewing then contents of files

Doubleclicking a file name in one of both lists will start the WINDOWS-Editor (NOTEPAD.EXE) together with the respective file. The Reiniger will not attend the used file format !

In the menu 'Program' there a further facilities 'to brush up everything' at the WINDOWS-startup. If you already have installed PC-Tools for Windows, you will find a command to run PC-Tools-File-Manager from here.

Please get informed about the individual program parts by the ONLINE-HELP (in the menu 'Help' select 'Online-Help') !


AUTOEXEC.BAT

This System file can - among others - be edited with the System
editor in the menu 'Program'.
If there is no temporary path defined, the Reiniger will check the
main path [C:] instead. Nevertheless, it makes sense to define a
temporary path [e.g. with 'SET TEMP=C:\TEMP'].


Online-Help

This option enables you to get all parts of the Reiniger-window explained
directly in the  program. For this you select 'Online-Help'.in the menu
'Help'. The mouse cursor is turned into a question mark. With it you can
point on every area you want to have eyplained. Click a mouse button
when the question mark is over the desired area.


List of all files in the temporary directory

In this list all files and possible subdirectories are listet.
Temporary files can not always be unmistakable recognized
by their names. There may always be files of a different nature
stored in the temporary directory. By doubleclicking a filename
it will be shown in the WINDOWS-Editor (NOTEPAD.EXE).
You should not save safety copies in the temporary directory !
They ought to be placed in a subdirectory. By doubleclicking a
subdirectory you launch a file-manager (if PC-Tools is installed,
the PC-Tools-File-Manager will be lauched instead.)


List of potentially temporary files

In this list all files are listed which can be classified as temporary files
with a great probability.
If you have just started WINDOWS these files may be deleted without
danger, however you ought to be sure that they do not contain data of
a program crash (!). If there are already some applications running you
might cause some program 'lose its footing' !
By doubleclicking a filename it will be shown in the WINDOWS-Editor
(NOTEPAD.EXE). So you can evaluate the contents of this file.


Number of all files in the temporary directory

The number of all files in the temporary directory does not include
the number of existing subdirectories.


Number of potentially temporary files

files that could be classified as temporary files by their names.


Delete all (all files in the temporary directory)

All files in the temporary directory will be deleted without any
additional safety check, even if write protected or hidden
files or even system files are in the directory.
Please be absolutely sure !
The Reiniger will not view or delete subdirectories.

Free Bytes on the temporary drive

Especially for graphic applications it is important to make room for
temporary files. In case the given number seems to be quite low
please examine the drive outside the temporary directory for
possible 'memory eaters'.
In the menu 'Program' there is at least one file manager available.
By doubleclicking the display or through the menu 'Display you
can switch between bytes und mega-bytes.
The Bar displays the free space on the temporary drive in percent.
For this display the file 'SPACE.DLL' must be installed.
