This selection opens up the main Web Wipe program screen.  This section is divided into 3 tabs; General, Browser Popups and Hot Area.

General

Password

To protect the program from unauthorized access to the program interface, the user can set a password by setting the checkbox "use password" and entering in a password then confirming it in the "confirm password" field.  The password selected will then have to be entered every time you use the program (so don't forget it!).  Un-installation and then re-installation of the program will re-set this parameter.

Hot Keys

Web Wipe enables users to set hot keys to initiate the following events:

•	Hide all windows

•	Hide active windows

•	Show hidden windows

•	Close all windows

Where the "windows" are active applications.  Each have pre-set default keys but these can be changed to suit own personal requirements.

The restore default button restores all the hot keys to their original values.

Launch

The launch option enables the user to determine which program is started after the "hide all windows" hotkey has been pressed.

Hot Area

Rather than using the "Hot Keys" to hide application windows, an area of the screen can be enabled to perform this function.

The "Use Hot Area" checkbox enables a Hot Area to be set on the users desktop.

The buttons "Left", "Right", "Top" and "Bottom" determine the position of the hot area on the desktop.  By selecting one of the buttons the Hot Area will be activated when clicked on.

"Slider length" determines the length of the hot area.

"Method of activation" determines how the Hot Area is activated.  The options that are available to activate the popup include "Left Mouse Down", "Right Mouse Down" and "Mouse Movement or touching in hot area".

Option group Actions determines, which actions are executed on activation of the hot area "Hide all windows", "Close all windows" and "Clear All".

Exit

This allows you to completely exit the program.
