There is also a menu bar and a toolbar. Some of the functions here adjust the content of the active tab. These
are described in the sections above. The general functions of the File, Tools and Help menus are always
displayed.
General menu bar functions
Menu "File"
In the File menu, you can use the New application entry to call up the well-known Windows Run
dialog to start a new application or open a file. Click Exit Windows to shut down or restart the
computer so that new settings can take effect.
A function of particular interest is Replace Task Manager, which works by replacing Windows Task
Manager on your system with TuneUp Process Manager. This means you can call it up using the
Ctrl+Alt+Del shortcut, or right-click in a free area of the taskbar to select it. If you want to use the
Windows Task Manager again, simply select the same menu item to remove the check mark in front of
it.
Tools Menu
In the Tools menu you can configure how TuneUp Process Manager is to be displayed on your
computer. You can keep it always in the foreground, e.g. to monitor the processor usage for your
system's uptime. You can also display TuneUp Process Manager in the notification area on the
bottom right of your desktop when you minimize the window. There is an icon there, which you can
click any time in order to maximize the window again in no time at all.
Help Menu
In the Help menu you can call up the program help at any time, visit the TuneUp website, check
TuneUp Utilities for updates or display information on your version of TuneUp Utilities.
