Question #1 -
I can't get the automatic cleanup to work. When I type in my username it
says it's not valid. What's wrong?
If you're the only use on a Windows XP computer then Windows refers to you
as 'Owner'. If it says 'Owner' in the username field - DO NOT CHANGE IT
regardless of the name you use to logon to Windows. Zappit uses Windows Task
Scheduler and the user name comes from your own Windows registry.

Question #2 - I ran Zappit for the first time and after five minutes nothing
happened. Why did it stop working?
If you are running Zappit for the first time, and have never cleaned your
Windows system before, you may be in for a surprise. You may have gigabytes
of junk files on your computer and it may take Zappit up to half an hour to give your system a thorough cleaning the first time you run it.
You can do other tasks while Zappit is running, so let it finish. After the first time, if you run Zappit regularly, it will take Zappit only
a few minutes or even a few moments to completely clean your system. We suggest that you run
Zappit every day.

Question # 3 - Does "Advanced Mode" remove files that will harm my Windows
system if I remove them?
No. Advanced Mode does not, by default, remove any important files.
However, Advanced Mode does give you the option to include any folder for
cleaning. So, if you choose a folder that contains important files, Zappit
will remove them. So, if you're not sure, use the Safe Mode. If you're an
advanced user you will find the Advanced Mode excellent for removing temp
folders that belong to specific programs that are not normally cleaned by
cleaner-type programs. Just be sure whatever folders you select don't
contain important files. In any case, Zappit, by default, will create a
Restore Point (Windows XP only) just in case you make a mistake.

Question #4 - Why would I want to
keep my cookies? I thought all cookies were bad to keep.
Cookies have earned an undeserved bad reputation. Some cookies can
actually save you a lot of work. Let's say you have personalized your MSN
Hotmail start page. You have selected your own city for Weather and your
favorite colors, etc. This information is stored in a cookie (a tiny text
file) which MSN Hotmail downloads to your hard drive. If you remove that
particular cookie, you'll have to reset your preferences the next time you
login to you MSN Hotmail page. Generally, though, cookies accumulate and
some cookies can track you from page to page on the same site or groups of
similar sites owned by the same company or co-operating companies. Generally
you'll want to clear all cookies except in cases as shown above. Then you
will only want to protect a single cookie and clean the rest.

Question #5 - I cannot read part of the
Zappit window.
In cases where you have set your screen resolution to an unconventional
size then you need to position the Zappit Window in the center of your
screen. To move the Zappit window, right click anywhere on the very top edge
of it. Your cursor turns into a cross. Grab the top edge with your cursor
and center it on your screen. Conventional resolutions for monitors are: 800
x 600 pixels for 15 inch monitors and 1024 x 768 for 17 inch and 19 inch
monitors.

Question #6 - What is a File Mask?
File masks allow you to specify certain file types you want Zappit to
remove. For instance, if you want Zappit to remove all Windows Prefetch
files, you would create a file mask for the file extension .pf (Windows
Prefetch file). When adding a file mask use the qualifying asterisk in front
of the file extension (for example *.pf) so that all files with the
extension .pf are remove regardless of the prefix. Zappit's File Mask
feature is available only in Advanced Mode and is a feature advanced users
will love.

7. How do I uninstall Zappit?
You can uninstall by either 1) Go to your Start Menu, Click Programs, and
you will see Zappit on the list. Click the Zappit folder and choose
"Uninstall Zappit", or 2) Go to Start Menu, Control Panel, Add/Remove
Programs. Find Zappit in the list, choose Uninstall. (Note: If you purchase
Zappit, you do not need to uninstall the Trail. You will receive a
registration key that will convert your trial to a full version.)

8.
Some of my Favorites have cute
little icons but after running Zappit, they are gone and replaced by
a regular icon. What happened?
Colorful icons are "temp files" called favicons which are stored on the
computer as "links" not images. Once you clean your temp files out you clean
these "links" out and all the "images" disappear; the page itself is not
removed, just the colorful icon. When you revisit those same sites you
will once again have the images representing the icons. Having colorful
"links to icons" is not a good reason to leave junk files on your computer.
Junk files can and do effect system performance and can degrade your
computers speed and other functions. Keeping your computer clean by removing
temporary files and other junk files is a very important first step in good
computer maintenance and having text links to "colorful icons" important
enough to allow junk and temporary files to continue to build up on your
computer.
For those of you who just love those colorful icons, you can set your own up
so they do not store as a temp file. Follow our short tutorial on how to
make Cloudie icon show up for your Members Page link and just use the same
technique for other favorites you want to make a special icon for. If
you follow the tutorial you will be able to keep your system clean while
still having colorful icons representing different Web sites.

9. I
want to save some of my cookies so I don't have to log in to some sites
all the time; can Zappit be set up this way?
Zappit gives you
the option to "save" cookies that you want to keep, such as
preference cookies. Zappit's Cookies Dialog allows you to check
the box next cookies that you do not want Zappit to remove.
Cookies that are not selected by the user are removed by Zappit.

for more information about the
Cookies
Selection Dialog.
10.
It
appears to have removed my passwords; how can I prevent this?
Zappit does not remove passwords from programs but it does
remove Auto-Complete in your browser. If you have passwords in your browser,
and you do not want to keep them private, click Advanced and uncheck "remove
auto-complete" under Internet Explorer.
