Drives

General

Windows XP:

Here you make certain settings concerning your hard drives. For example you can enable UDMA66 support,

which can speed up access to your drives.

Under NTFS file system, you can set two options that relate to the new Windows NTFS file system: Save the

date of the last access to a file and Save short (DOS) file names. We recommend that you leave both

options enabled, as disabling them may have negative side effects on the efficiency of hard disk defrag-

mentation and on compatibility with older software.

Disk Space

Windows automatically sounds the alarm if there is only a small amount of disk space remaining on a drive.

If this warning disturbs you, you can disable the Display warning about low disk space option.

AutoPlay

Under Monitoring media changes, you can turn on the Monitor CD drives for change of media option. If

you do so, Windows monitors the CD drives. As soon as a new data carrier is inserted, Windows reads it and

tries to launch its content automatically.

Under AutoPlay, you can click on Advanced to open a window in which you can specify autoplay settings

for various data carriers, such as music CDs.

Advanced

Under TuneUp Styler, you can click on Start TuneUp Styler to call up the tool and use it to change the

icons of individual drives.

Under TuneUp Drive Defrag, you can click on Start TuneUp Drive Defrag to open the tool for defrag-

menting drives and for optimally arranging files on the drives.

Windows XP:

Under My Computer, you can click on Settings to specify which drives are displayed in the Windows My

Computer.

Windows Vista and Windows 7:

Under Computer, you can click on Settings to specify which drives are displayed in the Windows My Com-

puter.

Memory and Cache

Memory Management

This includes settings for managing the physical and virtual memory.

Under Virtual memory, you can specify that drivers and the Windows system core can be replaced if nec-

essary or are always kept in the RAM.

Under Paging file, you can specify that TuneUp Utilities always overwrites the content of the Windows pag-

ing file with zeros, thereby deleting it when the system is shut down.

Clicking on Recommended accepts the settings recommended by TuneUp Utilities.

Memory Usage

Here you can set whether the computer should reserve more RAM for the programs or for the system cache.
