If you do not trust the vendor of the software that you want to install, or when the source of the
software is unknown, turn on the Try mode before installing this software. If anything goes
wrong, discard the changes made in the Try mode.
File recovery
You have accidentally deleted some files and then emptied the Recycle Bin. Then you have
remembered that the deleted files contained important data and now you are going to try to
undelete them using the appropriate software. However, sometimes you may do something wrong
while trying to recover deleted files, making things worse than before trying to recover them. So you
can proceed as follows:
 Turn on the Try mode.
 Launch the file undelete utility.
 After the utility scans your disk in search of the deleted file or folder entries, it will present you
the deleted entries it has found (if any) and offer you the opportunity to save whatever it can
recover. There is always a chance that you might pick the wrong file and while recovering it the
utility may overwrite the very file you are trying to recover. If not for the Try&Decide, this error
would be fatal and the file would be lost irretrievably.
 But now you can just discard the changes made in the Try mode and make one more attempt to
recover the files after turning on the Try mode again. Such attempts may be repeated until you
are sure that you have done your best in trying to recover the files.
Web privacy
Suppose you do not want anybody to know, which Web sites you have visited or which pages you
have opened - we all have the right to privacy. But the problem is that to make your Web surfing
more comfortable and fast, the system stores this information and much more: cookies you have
received, search engine queries you have made, URLs you have typed, etc. in special hidden files. And
such information is not deleted completely when you clear your temporary Internet files, delete
cookies, clear history of the recently opened Web pages using the browser's tools. So snoopers may
be able to view the information using special software.
Turn on the Try mode and surf the Web as you please. Afterwards, if you want to remove all traces of
your activity, discard the changes made in the Try mode.
