Maintenance
Wizard
The Maintenance Wizard helps you get the best performance from your
system. You can run Maintenance Wizard to make your programs run faster,
check your hard disk for problems, and free hard disk space. By
scheduling these utilities to run on a regular basis, you can make sure
that your computer is performing at its best.
When you start the Maintenance Wizard (Start > Programs >
System Tools > Maintenance Wizard), you can choose to use Express
(most common tune-up settings) or to use your own Custom
settings.
The next screen will ask you for a time to run the Maintenance tasks.
It is best to run these tasks at night. Your choices are:
- Nights - Midnight to 3.00AM
- Days - Noon to 3.00PM
- Evenings - 8.00PM to 11.00PM
- If you choose the Custom setting, you'll have a custom
choice, where you can set the time you want the Maintenance Wizard
to run
The next screen lets you choose which tasks to perform:
- Speed Up Programs (Defrag)
- Scan Hard Disk for Errors (Scandisk)
- Delete Unnecessary Files (Disk Cleanup)
If you choose Custom settings, you'll have the option of
scheduling each task separately. You also have the option to set
parameters for each task.
