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

WinSettings protects your online privacy and optimizes Windows. It cleans your surfing tracks automatically using its very popular scheduler or on demand with a single click. It blocks or kills pop-ups and cleans up unwanted tracks left on the computer from surfing the Internet and in the Document menu automatically on Windows start-up, shutdown, or on demand. It repairs file associations, and is also a screen-capture and a wallpaper program.
