Managing Programs To Free Disk Space

NOTE

You must be running Windows 98 or Windows 98 SE in order to

use the QuickClean BackTrack feature.

You can use the QuickClean Installation Monitor to watch applications as they

install making a record of every file that was added, deleted, or changed

during installation. Then, you can use the BackTrack wizard to completely

remove the monitored application from your computer and return all settings

to their previous values before the application was installed. You can set up

Installation Monitor in one of two ways:

n Set up BackTrack Monitor to run in the background continuously,

waiting for you to run an installation file with a specific name or from a

specific folder, or to install an application from a self-expanding

compressed file with the “.EXE” extension.

n Start BackTrack Monitor just before you install an application, and

specify the program that runs the application installation.

NOTE

Many installation programs start automatically as soon as you

insert a CD disc into your CD drive. To make sure that installations

from CDs are monitored, open the BackTrack Settings screen and

set BackTrack to monitor setup files before you insert the CD disc

into the drive.

Monitoring installation of a single program

If you’d prefer to run BackTrack Monitor only when you are actually installing

applications, follow these steps before installing your new program:

1 From the QuickClean Home Page, select Advanced tasks.

2 From the Advanced task list, select Manage installed programs.

3 Click Monitor a program with BackTrack.

4 Click the Monitor button.

Before installation actually starts, BackTrack Monitor saves Registry settings

and other information on your computer so that its original state can be

restored later if you choose to remove the application from your computer.

BackTrack a monitored program’s installation

Use the QuickClean BackTrack wizard to uninstall a program tracked by

BackTrack Monitor.

You cannot use the BackTrack wizard to undo the installation of an

application that BackTrack Monitor did not monitor. In this situation, use the

Remove wizard.
