SnapSuite program family/Free online computer help

wreckedcarzz:
The idea of the homepage is to try and get someone who doesn't know anything about the program some basic details. SnapSuite was designed to do more than just maintenance, so it has changed direction but system maintenance is still my main priority.

If I understand correctly you are saying that I should add some information on the maintenance/cleaning part?

It does do a "complete" run: 4 file deletion stages (InstantSweep, Disk Cleanup, CCleaner, CleanUp) followed by a registry scan (Abexo Free Registry Cleaner), a scan by Advanced WindowsCare, then a defragment (JkDefrag) and registry defrag (NTREGOPT). I actually thought of this exact problem and I am trying to decide how to redo the maintenance panel to allow certain things (like the registry cleaning) to be skipped.

I think I will attempt a redo on the GUI to allow just certain things to be done. For now, however (conveniently), you can run the automatic "automatic systemcare (shutdown).exe" or "automatic systemcare (reboot).exe" files in the SnapSuite folder and it only does the 4 step cleaning, then a defragment, then reboots or shuts down after a 30 second countdown (this can be canceled by clicking the "Cancel Shutdown" or "Cancel Reboot" button in the countdown window).

Thanks Brandon for that -
will install when I get chance and have a look
actually maybe I'll install it on the older computer first which *really**needs* a cleanup :)

I think so - it's a big part of it still, even if you want to concentrate on the other aspects.

wreckedcarzz:
OK, here by request is a screenshot of the new SystemCare (maintenance) component of SnapSuite.

It has been totally redone, and is more "step-by-step" now. All programs can be run independently of one another (although I am ripping through the code now, so it will take a day of testing to make sure it works good) without problem. New instructions as to what can/can not be run together will be added, and this should provide a better experience for everyone.

(FYI: I have not yet posted in the N.A.N.Y. forum because I want to push this little bugfix/enhancement out first :Thmbsup:)

EDIT: It is worth mentioning that this enhancement may also let me drop approximately 300 lines of code- making SnapSuite easier to maintain and smaller in size!
Also, just a fun little tidbit, you can see my DC wallpaper through the AERO at the top of the window :P

EDIT 2: Yes, lost just about 275 lines of code and does it look better...no more clutter! :)
If anyone has any suggestions, please give them to me now so I can put them in before I release the update. :up:

tomos:
can I ask before I install Brandon,
does it automatically download all the other progs or would I have a choice there too?
I'm not such a big fan of Windows Defender for example and have something equivalent already installed
(mind you I havent used it in a year or more so it may have improved..)

I notice the big "DO NOT.." on your screenshot:
would it be possible (for the benefit of people who push buttons first and read later - not me- I swear :P) to set it up so selecting one of the choices deselects the others ?

wreckedcarzz:
It automatically installs all programs needed (that you don't already have).

Windows Defender is NOT installed automatically however, because it requires the running copy of Windows to be validated before the download becomes available from Microsoft.

As for automatic de-selecting, I did think about that and I *may* setup some type of system for that, as I have seen people check everything and then wonder "why is my computer going insane? buttons? no, no, i didn't check all the buttons...*face turns red*" ;D
