WinUtilities Pro is an award winning collection of tools to optimize and speedup your system performance. This suite contains utilities to clean registry, temporary files on your disks, erase your application and internet browser history, cache and cookies. It also supports to defragment your disk drives and registry to improve computer performance and stability. Built-in Startup Cleaner allows you to control startup programs that load automatically with windows, find duplicate files, fix broken shortcuts and uninstall unneeded software. More features include secure file deletion, recycle bin shredding, maintenance tasks scheduling and file recovery.
The portable builds registration data is not portable as it is stored in the host machines current users registry hive so if you do choose to use the portable build you'd be well advised to copy over the giveaway zip bundles readme.txt file to the portable medias imDesktop folder so it can be registerd on multiple machines as you travel.
Proof it was not stored in the portable versions folders came as I installed the giveaway bundles setup.exe program AFTER activating the portable version and exiting that, and on running the freshly installed version it was registered with the same name I used when registering the portable version.

A heads up for the adventurous... if you have Vista and want to try this on the off chance it is not supported but might work anyway... unless you can Remote desktop into another account when you run the portable edition under vista... don't try it as although the program correctly detects it is running on a version of windows it does not suport and advises us to upgrade to a supported version of windows... it fails to exit cleanly and ends up overlaying the entire desktop and task bar/start button with a black overlay rendering that session completely inaccessible. Fortunatly I was able to login on another account via the main keyboard and run task manager set as an admin showing all users. I then found the giveaways process under the other account and end tasked it and the computer returned to normal.
Tried same portable folder from a mapped network share on my Win10 64bit and it works quite well, CPU usage is not trivial but is better if left to work with the built in Intel GPU rather than running with the seperate Nvidia GPU as with the Nvidia GPU the CPU usage remains high all the time.
A neat novelty but I'd find it a waste of resources... I'd either be working on the computer and the video would be playing in the background and not be seen... or partially covered and be a visual distracton and audio distraction if the video had a sound track... for me It demos a facility added in WIn 7 and above, a cool trick but of little to no utility that I can see.

TK, found that when in black screen and no visible user interface one can close the failed rendering thread by using the keys Alt+F4
The main program continues to run but the walpaper renderer is shut down and will not run again until you restart the program.

How do I get to the settings?
On the program's web site it shows the settings panel, but I have no clue how to get there.
And how do you turn it off and go back to your regulat desktop?
Thanks.

After Installation and input of Registration Information,(lengthy Registration Key,btw),program 'About' section still reads "Free Trial" after Reboot-what did I do wrong,YL Computing ??
Save | Cancel
fun, but it doesn't fill my monitors properly: 3 monitors with different resolutions.

Make SURE when you 'Ctrl+C' (Copy), and 'Ctrl+V' (Paste), you ONLY copy the Registration Key, and you do not copy any extra spaces-it will NOT allow you,AT ALL, to input Registration key via 'Ctrl+V' (paste) if you have any extra characters,including a blank space.Installed,entered name and Registration Key,killed process via Task Manager,restarted,and the "About" section reads "Free Trial"...am I registered,or do I have to reboot entirely to see a Registered program ? (Thanks to GOTD and YL Computing)Looks very nice-am still deciding how much of a hit is taken on resources,though,LOL,Thanks,again.

The download includes both the installed version and a portable version to choose from. A very nice option. The readme includes the registration information so there is no need to jump through any hoops or wait for an email. I tried the portable version and had no problems. I appreciate any publisher that takes the hassle out of their offer here. Thank you GOTD team and YL Computing.

dadams,
Where is the portable version ?

Eddie, There is a link to the portable version on their page, and you can use the GOAD registration key for that version.
It seems to work fine without installing the main program.You will need to Download the GOAD to get the key from the "Readme".

Eddie,
The portable version is included in the zip file.

dadams, There is no portable version including with this program. The portable version is with the other giveaway today "FileMenu Tools 7.6.2".

Thomas,
I know this. My comment was originally posted on FileMenu Tools 7.6.2. For some unknown reason, the GOTD team switched it over to this program.
