Step by Step How to Use

Uninstallation procedure is very simple :

Step 1: Start Uninstall Manager and take a snapshot of your drive(s) with "Snapshot" button.

Step 2: Backup your startup and registry files with "Backup System Files" button. Now your system is ready for new installations.

Step 3: Close Uninstall Manager then install or run any program that you wish.

Step 4: To see any changes that have been made to your system since your last snapshot, simply start Uninstall Manager and press the "Find New Additions" button.

Step 5: There will be a panel on the left that shows any new folders and a panel on the right that will show any new files that have been added to your system. You can now choose to delete  individual files or folders that you select or all files and folders newly added.

Step 6: Finally from "System" menu you can choose "Restore System Files" (or press it's button) to return your system to its settings before the installation.

It is as easy as this.

Tools to keep your drive tidy

Check Overwrite : Some installations can overwrite windows system files without notification. This can cause your system to not work properly. With the " Check Overwrite " tool (in tools menu) you can check these files to see if any changes have been made. This tool is for expert users only. Do not use this tool  if you don't understand windows dlls.

Quick Clean : With this command you can delete temporary files to save harddisk space.

Send to File : Use this tool to save the file names that are listed in the right panel for future reference.

Next : Configuring U.M.


Configuring U.M.

You can configure U.M. from the "Options" menu.

Send deleted files to recycle bin :

Recommended if you are not sure about the files you delete. Later, if necessary, you can use the recycle bin to restore deleted files.

Automatic compare at startup :

Check this option if you want to start  the "check new files" operation whenever you start Uninstall Manager.

Show file icons :

Check this option to see icons of files that are listed.(this will cause some slow down while scanning)

Don't list msie (or netscape) caches :

We recommend that you check this option.When this option is checked msie and netscape caches won't be listed. These caches are controlled and managed by the browsers.To delete these caches could cause a slow down in your internet surfing. However, if you want to delete these caches to save hard drive space (another benefit to having U.M.), don't check this option and the files will be listed.

Tips
TIPS & TRICKS

•	You can use popup menus in the file or folder panel by right clicking the mouse button.

•	Generally in the changes panel you will see that user.dat and system.dat are checked, without having installed anything. This is because Windows 95 uses and changes these files frequently.

•	If you can't delete a file, this means the file is in use by windows. To delete this file, first restore your system files then try to delete file again.

•	Use slots for multiple snapshots and backups. Slot usage is like game saves. You can save the last position of your system to any slot.Also you can write a description for it.
