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 very powerful Windows utility that protects your online Privacy and Security, helps you to gain more control of your Windows Desktop, and make better use of acquired multimedia contents. It cleans up unwanted tracks you left on the computer from surfing the Internet as well as in the Documents Shortcut Menu. You can setup Auto Clean on Windows Startup or do it manually in one single click. Its Screen Capture feature allows you to capture all of part of the screen, or just the application contents, and even to have it automatically inserted into E-mail."
