Ashampoo Powerup XP Platinum ver.2.20

If you’ve ever tried to adjust how Windows behaves or performs you already know the problem. You can configure just about anything but the settings seem to be hidden in hundreds of different places. And even if you do find them you need a degree in rocket science and Chinese to understand them. Ashampoo PowerUp XP Platinum 2 takes the hassle out of tuning up your Windows computer. One click is all it takes to optimize your computer for office work, gaming, media editing or maximum resources (memory etc). Now you can switch your setup in seconds depending on what you are doing.
You don’t have to do your own tuning but if you want to the program puts all the relevant Windows settings at your fingertips. And it explains in detail what every single one does at the click of the mouse. Plus it includes several powerful new tools that give you even more control over your computer.

Is your desktop so full of program windows that you’re feeling swamped? Add another one! Ashampoo PowerUp XP Platinum 2 comes with PowerUp SwitchDesk, which lets you open additional desktops and switch between them. It’s like having three, four, five or more computers. Open your work programs on one desktop and your private fun programs on another desktop, then switch between them depending on what you’re doing.

Support hotlines often ask you for “details of your computer and operating system”. What a drag! You can forget about this with the click-and-send Support Reports feature. Just select Support Reports, click on the components you want to report on (Graphics Display, Drives, Operating System etc.), enter an email address and send. It’s ready in seconds and it includes all the information that support staff need
Sick of programs starting automatically with Windows without telling you? Take control with Ashampoo PowerUp XP Platinum 2. The Boot Options controller now allows you to view all programs that start automatically and enable or disable them with a single click.

Windows® XP now has its own firewall but you never know what it’s doing or how it’s set up. Ashampoo PowerUp XP Platinum 2 includes a new XP firewall monitoring module that shows you all the important XP firewall settings and Internet connections.

Ashampoo PowerUp XP Platinum 2 is the successor to Ashampoo PowerUP XP Platinum. It includes all the powerful features that made its predecessor the favorite tuning tool of many Windows users.
