WinSettings Pro

Review by Michael E. Callahan aka Dr. File Finder

WinSettings Pro, by FileStream, Inc. is a feature-rich program that does so many things and it does them all well. I've been in computers a long time and I have to admit it, I like to tinker. It's in my nature, at least when it comes to computers. I like programs that pick one task and do it well, but I also like a program that can do a number of tasks well. And WinSettings Pro helps you to accomplish a lot of interesting tasks. For one, it allows you to clean up all of the "tracks" you leave when you surf the Web. It can clean up your surfing history, remove cookies, eliminate the Internet cache, and more! Nicely done. Another nifty feature built right in is the ability to capture the screen. And not only will it capture something off the screen, it will put that capture in an e-mail for you. And, it even provides you with the basic tools to edit an image.

Slick!!WinSettings Pro goes on to do even more cool things. One of my favorites is the ability to play background music on your computer. It can also handle file associations with ease. For those who aren't clear on that, file associations link specific programs to specific file types. Like DOC files to Microsoft Word, or all graphics files to your graphics editor, and so on. WinSettings Pro really makes setting these file associations quick and easy. Ahhh, but there's more. You can use the program to create areas on your screen that will activate your screen saver -- very slick. Plus, you can have the program change your desktop wallpaper when Windows starts and it helps you change the standard Windows system icons, like My Computer. Very nicely done!WinSettings Pro, by FileStream, Inc., is a powerful tool that's very easy-to-use. The interface is intuitive, so it's great for both new and experienced users. And what I like about it is that it lets you do so many things. Change system icons, play background music, create tray icon menus, take and e-mail a screen shot, and even move applications from one drive to another. And, it not only does these things, but it does all of them well! So, if you'd like to tinker a bit and have some interesting features right at your fingertips, take a really good look at WinSettings. It's a beautifully done piece of software. I recommend it highly!
