Introduction
jv16 PowerTools is basically the only maintenance tool your computer needs. Until now your computer might have been the one who was in charge, but with jv16 PowerTools you can take back the control. The program contains all the tools you need for cleaning, controlling, monitoring and tuning up your computer. The vast range of tools include a registry cleaner, registry monitor, duplicate file finder, mass file renamer and much, much more!

System Requirements
  • Any computer running Windows 95, 98, 98 SE, ME, NT, 2000 or XP
  • Mouse or a keyboard

Performance
jv16 PowerTools isn't bloated with graphics and sound effects or any bells and whistles. Our goal has always been to create software that does what it is meant to. The basic operation requires only a normal home computer running any Windows operating system. Some features, of course, demand a lot of processing power, such as the duplicate file finder and the registry monitor, but even they have been optimized to work as fast as possible even on a slower computer.

User friendliness
jv16 PowerTools is a true example of a very user friendly application. It allows you to use the program in your own language and not just English, it allows you to define your own keyboard shortcut. The program uses a non-standard user interface which is very interactive, all the buttons and other items you can press change their colour when the mouse pointer is over them and so on. The program has a mode for people with difficulties seeing different colours and the visually challenged can fully use the program because it also supports a text only based user interface.

But the user friendliness is also under the hood, the program doesn't integrate itself to your system if you don't want to. It doesn't change your system's configuration or your files in any ways (except that the version which comes with an installer registers the jvb file type by default).

General usage
In the right hands, jv16 PowerTools is a very safe yet powerful tool. Even the most novice users can take benefit from its power if they just remember a few general rules. The most important thing to bare in mind is that you are the one who always makes the final decision, that's why it's very important that you don't do anything with things you are not familiar with. Like in jv16 PowerTools, if there's some items in the registry manager or in the registry cleaner that you don't know it's always the safest and the best option to leave those items alone.
