CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: Seth Rosenblatt on December 05, 2008

This program proves good things do come in small packages. While WinSettings focuses on protecting your online privacy and security, you also can use it to control screensavers and wallpaper images, change tray and system icons, customize start-up and shutdown routines, and establish background music.

The straightforward interface provides access to all the options through a program icon in the system tray or via the Control Center's tabbed interface. Along with its interesting and useful system settings and history cleaners, it includes unexpected features, such as a screen-capture utility and a Web pop-up blocker. The excellent File Associations tool offers all the tools you need to view and set active icons for each file type, as well as choose default actions, right-click options, and default programs. We used it to repair our Adobe Acrobat file association, which had broken while we were testing other software.

With its potpourri of functions, WinSettings should meet the needs of most power users.

Publisher's description

From the developer: "WinSettings is a powerful Windows utility program that helps you to gain more control of your Desktop, make better use of acquired multimedia contents, as well as clean up unwanted tracks left on your computer from surfing the Internet. With its Screen Capture feature, you can capture all of part of the screen and have it automatically inserted into E-mail in just a couple of clicks.

You will have the power to quickly change Windows style and appearance, such as customizing Wallpaper, playing Background Music in a variety of formats including MP3, activating Screen Savers Control. You can even ask WinSettings to automatically change the Desktop scenery for you."

Note: This is a 30-day trial. Registration is $20.
