Registry Cleaning & Monitoring:

• Safely repairs invalid entries in your Windows Registry

  Over time, invalid entries and orphaned shortcuts can accumulate in the registry and may lead to Windows crashes and error messages. Desktop Maestro can safely clean and repair invalid entries from your registry with a few simple mouse clicks.

• Customizable Scans

  Performs a full scan of your registry and also allows you to customise a scan for selective areas in your registry.

• Highly functional Scan results screen

  The Scan results screen provides full text search capabilities to allow for rapid problem identification using text strings, and expandable and collapsible problem views.

• Automatic Registry backups with each repair

  Desktop Maestro automatically creates a backup of all changes it makes to the registry, allowing you to restore these changes to their original condition, if required.

• Registry Monitoring

  The Registry Monitor assists you in keeping your system free of Windows Registry errors by monitoring your Windows Registry and alerting you when a specified number of changes have been made to key areas of the registry. When alerted, you have the option to run a silent scan. This optional feature can begin monitoring your registry as soon as Windows starts up.

Privacy Protection

• Erase your tracks

  The Privacy Guardian feature of Desktop Maestro cleans traces of online activity, history and other sensitive data. Specifically, it allows selective cleaning of all traces of online activities such as cache, cookies, index.dat and history from a variety of web browsers on your PC. This includes other sensitive data such as the Windows Recycle Bin contents, temporary files and the recent file/URL lists of Microsoft Office Suite. It is also capable of cleaning activity tracks from over 50 other third-party applications, including AOL, ICQ, Windows Media Player and many more.

• Bleach free space

  By bleaching the free space on your hard drive, deleted information is rendered unrecoverable by standard file recovery methods. This ensures complete privacy and security of your data.

System Optimizer:

The system optimizer feature in Desktop Maestro offers a range of performance enhancing tools, such as:

• Optimization:

  Within the Optimization area, Desktop Maestro provides the following tools to enhance your system:

  • Registry Compacting:

    For optimized system performance, Desktop Maestro’s registry compacting feature analyzes, rebuilds and compresses the Windows Registry by removing registry gaps and free space, and corrupt keys.

  • Defragmentation:

    Desktop Maestro provides a streamlined interface to the Windows Disk Defragmenter which will optimize the files on your disk for faster file access and improve overall system performance.

  • Optimize your system:

    The “optimize your system” button implements a system-wide optimization function which, at the click of a button, applies a set of tweaks and patches directly into the Windows Registry that are designed to improve system performance. The system optimizer also includes boot file defragmentation and rebuilding, and sorts and refreshes the Windows Start Menu items list, all of which are designed to improve the efficiency and speed at which Windows starts up.

• System monitors and other information:

  Within the system optimizer, Desktop Maestro provides a simple interface to view useful system information such as the Windows Process Manager – which displays a list of running processes; CPU usage, activity and priority. There is also a performance and drive monitor that allows you to easily view the total free CPU and MEM available, along with a complete list of system information such as Computer Name, User Name, Operating System, CPU Speed, RAM, Number of Processors, Printer locations etc.
