Fine-tune
your operating system:
Ashampoo PowerUp XP is a convenient tool for
fine-tuning your Windows® ú0? NT4, 2000 and XP configuration
to suit your precise needs and wishes. It gives you
direct access to many frequently-required settings and
parameters, enabling you to make your operating system
behave the way you want.
Some
of the settings you can change with Ashampoo PowerUp
XP are available in Windows, but you will find that
accessing them in Ashampoo PowerUp XP is much quicker
and more convenient because they are all available in
a single location, with the same intuitive procedure
for changing all the parameters.
Control
Windows XP security and privacy settings:
Windows® ú0? XP is a great operating system but there
has been a lot of controversy about a number of new
features that appear to compromise user security at
least to some degree, in some situations. Some critics
have even accused Microsoft of installing "spyware"
that snoops out your system and sends reports about
you to nobody knows where. We wouldn't go that far,
but we do believe that you, the user, should have full
control over what your system does and does not do.
The special XP Security tab does just this: It shows
you all the security and privacy relevant features of
XP that have been criticized and allows you to switch
them on and off.
Access
"secret" Window functions:
Many settings supported by Ashampoo PowerUp XP are not
available directly in Windows all - to change them yourself
you would have to edit the Windows® ú0? registry directly,
which is usually a bad idea, in addition to being inconvenient
and requiring a lot of expert knowledge. Ashampoo PowerUp
XP thus enables you to give your system the sort of
tune-up that is normally only possible for very experienced
users.
Configure
Microsoft Office:
Ashampoo PowerUp XP also enables you to set a number
of useful settings that control the behavior of Microsoft
Office components.
Save
and reload entire setting configurations in one easy
operation:
Ashampoo PowerUp XP supports 'profile' files,
which make it possible to store entire Windows® ú0? function
configurations and reload them in a single simple operation.
This is extremely useful if you often change Windows® ú0?
settings for performing different tasks, or when different
people work at your computer - for example when you
wish to restrict access to an entire set of system functions.
With profiles you can do this temporarily with a couple
of clicks, and then reactivate your normal settings
just as quickly.
Add
your own functions with the unique Function Editor:
Ashampoo PowerUp XP actually consists of two programs
(or three if you include the Language Editor): the program
itself, which provides the controls for editing and
tuning Windows® ú0? functions and settings, and the brand-new
Function Editor, with which you can both edit the existing
functions in the function database and add new functions
of your own.
This
new module turns the program into an extremely powerful
tool for advanced users, as it lets you design your
own customized Windows® ú0? tuning functions, which you
can then activate and deactivate just as easily as all
the other functions provided by Ashampoo PowerUp XP.
And, of course, you can also include your own functions
in PowerUp XP profiles, just the same as the program's
own integrated functions.
Language
Editor:
The new Language Editor enables you to edit all the
texts displayed in the program, including interface
texts, the context-sensitive help popup texts, dialogs,
error messages etc. You can use this to translate the
program into your own language, or to change texts to
suit your own personal needs.
Ashampoo
PowerUp XP is 100% ready for Window XP.
All the functions of all modules are supported in the
following Windows® ú0? versions, Window NT4, 2000 and
XP!
