Download jv16 PowerTools 2012 2.1.0.1173

Macecraft Software has released an update for version 2012 of jv16 PowerTools. This program is intended to tweak all kinds of things in Windows. For example, there are modules to determine which programs are started when Windows boots and you can search for duplicate files. Furthermore, the registry can be cleaned of redundant keys and made smaller, which has a beneficial effect on Windows performance.

New in version 2012 is, among other things, the possibility to ‘inoculate’ the computer, in order to protect it against malware. The program does this by providing the host file with updates from the well-known website Winhelp2000. Furthermore, almost all parts have been updated, which mainly benefits the performance. The following changes and improvements have also been made in this update:

Improvements:

• Added a command line switch “-Immunize” to start the Immunize My Computer tool.
• Made the “Undo Immunization” feature easier to find from the Tools menu of the Backup tool.
• Added a recommendation for the user to restart the program after disabling or enabling the Tag System, as its settings are not updated on-the-fly to already opened tools.
• Made the GUI of the program more responsive.
• All the found items are now automatically checked when uninstalling a software with the Software Uninstaller.
• Updated most of the user interface icons.
• Added Settings, Backups and Action History to Main Window > Tools > Add shortcut to Desktop.

Bug fixed:

• The program can show an error “data.xbin corrupted” when starting.
• Registry Compactor can show an internal error while doing the second phase of compact.
• History Cleaner can report “failed to access” error when run in non-English version of Windows.
• Running the Registry Cleaner (or Clean and Fix My Computer) can cause the list of accounts to disapear from Windows 7 login screen. The problem can be solved by restoring the backup created by PowerTools.
• Removing specific kinds of data with the Registry Cleaner or any other registry tool of PowerTools can cause the program to crash to Access Violation at address 006C13A4.
• Program can show “The application seems to be frozen.” error message while running the Registry Cleaner (or Clean and Fix My Computer) with specific data in the registry.
• Creating a desktop shortcut for specific tools might not work correctly.
• Backup tool can show a backup in the wrong section, for example a File Cleaner backup under the Registry Backups tab.
• Some tools, such as Mass Rename Files and Remove Files on Reboot had too little space for translated button captions.
• The program can ask permission to check for new immunization data twice in a row.

• The captions of the following tools cannot be translated: File tool, Immunize my Computer and Directory tool.
• System Optimizer can in some systems show up as a blank window without any content.
• The desktop shortcut for each of the tools has the jv16pt.exe icon, not the icon of the specific tool.
• History Cleaner backups are displayed in the wrong tab in the Backup tool (they should be displayed under Other backups)
• Hungarian translation is always installed, yet it doesnŽt show in the SetupŽs list of available translations.
• Some tool windows, for example the Settings window, do not show the currently active tab selection rectange.
• The user interface of the Registry Cleaner (and Clean and Fix My Computer) can get confused with 64 bit registry data and this causes the Open in RegEdit feature to sometimes open an incorrect key.
• Uninstalling PowerTools can leave the “Buy jv16 PowerTools” shortcut to desktop.
• Uninstalling PowerTools can leave PowerToolsŽ tool shortcuts to desktop. These can be created from the main windowŽs Tools > Add shortcut to desktop… menu.
• Settings Integration with Windows feature doesnŽt work properly.
• Fixed a few typos from the English user interface (English.lng).
• Immunize my Computer can ask the permission to connect the Internet two or three times in a row.
