--------------------------------------- Window Washer (c) 1998 Webroot Software Version 2.4 "Cleans up your tracks!" (with that lemon fresh scent!) http://www.webroot.com/washer.htm webroot@webroot.com --------------------------------------- Whats new in version 2.4: 1. Author Note: After this version (2.4) we will be removing the clean ICQ feature. This is due to the changes ICQ has undergone in it's latest version (0.99a). The database files are no longer available to be cleaned individually. Also, ICQ's new API does not allow for the cleaning of history/message lists. However, to replace this feature we will be adding the ability to clean the Most Recently Used lists of MS-OFFICE 97. 2. Changed '!' buttons to 'info' buttons also added more information under these buttons for various options. 3. Added "Drive Space Restored" count and "Items Washed" count to Washing status window 4. Fixed problem with cleaning recent document history on some versions of Windows 98 5. Added ability to clean "streams" in Windows 98. Streams store information in the Windows registry about what a user has been doing on a system, such as which programs they run, what images they view, what files they open, etc. Whats new in version 2.2: Added command line wash support. This is useful for adding Window Washer to the System Agent: "Windows Task Scheduler" or adding Window Washer to a batch file. The command line wash switch is: "\washer.exe /a". Example: "c:\program files\washer\washer.exe /a" Added support for Netscape 4.5 and IE 5.0 beta. However, as of this release (11/8/98) IE5 is still in public beta so support for the FINAL IE 5 release is not guaranteed in this version. Whats new in version 2.1: Added Wild Card support for "Custom Wash Items" Fixed problem with auto start option Whats new in version 2.0: Added ability to change the "Standard Wash Items" default directories Improved support for cleaning Netscape 3.x, 4.06, 4.5 Visual enhancements Ability to run Window Washer under multiple Windows profiles Various bug fixes from 1.x versions --------------------------------------- Note for Network Administrators of public systems, such as libraries and Internet Cafes: This program is very useful for automatically cleaning the tracks of the previous users of a system. This is helpful in protecting the previous users privacy from the next users of that system. It is also helpful in keeping the public systems drive space usage to minimum. --------------------------------------- When Window Washer is running there will be a little squeegee icon next to your clock on the Windows Taskbar. If you click once on the squeegee icon a menu will appear. Select "WASH NOW" from the menu to wash all your items. Select "SETTINGS" from the menu to configure your wash items and other features of Window Washer.
