NAME

SYNOPSIS

AVAILABILITY

DESCRIPTION

Apply Settings / Change Settings / Installation / Update

To profit the most from the utilities they should be installed in to the 'Send To' menu in 'Windows™ Explorer', the 'Startup' sub-menu in the 'Windows™ Start' menu or the 'Windows™ Desktop'.

To do this most efficiently, start (double click) the interactive config command that is located in the bin/ directory of the WA2L/WinTools package, select the desired options and press the [INSTALL/APPLY] button.

If selected, also the WA2LWinTools menu in the Windows™ 'Start' menu is created with some entries for the WA2L/WinTools package.

Re-Apply Settings

Re-apply settings using the [RE-APPLY] button on a system might be needed, if the software is installed on a removable device and the drive name has changed or the installation path has been moved or renamed.

Remove Settings / Uninstall

To remove all settings from the system again, click the [UNINSTALL] button.

This will de-configure all selected options from the system and stop programs started on login, but the activated settings in the config GUI are still ticked - what will allow you to re-apply your selection again on an other system without the need to repeat it.

Because this is portable software, the software itself will not be removed from the system.

This because the software is most likely installed on a removable device that you might wish to use on an other system and furthermore to preserve the data you produced while using the utilities (and like to carry with you).

If you wish to remove the data and the software completely, delete the installation directory that you have chosen during installation after clicking the [UNINSTALL] button.
