Customizing Most Important Settings

If you would like to modify the "default" settings in O&O CleverCache, it is first necessary that you create a new Profile. To do so, click "New" in the Quick Toolbar located above the main window.

Program settings can be reset to their default values at anytime. To do so, simply click "Load Default Settings" from the "Settings" Menu. Doing this will delete all profiles and changes made since the program's installation, resetting the software to its original configuration.

Basic Settings in O&O CleverCache
As soon as your new Profile has been created, you can start modifying your cache settings by clicking on the icon labeled "File Cache" under the heading labeled "Settings".

Four slide bars allow you to control the minimum and maximum amounts of the file cache in both megabytes or as a percent of the total memory available. In addition, you also have the ability to adjust the file cache assessment interval, the rate at which data in the file cache memory is examined and saved to the hard drive.

Through the Cache Monitor located under the heading "O&O CleverCache" on the left-hand side of the main window, you can examine the current status of your memory use and your file cache.

Mem-O-Free and Mem-O-Safe
The options "Mem-O-Free" and "Mem-O-Safe" can be found beneath the heading labeled "Settings". As is the case with other O&O CleverCache settings, it is necessary to create your own profile when making changes to these features. Whenever the pre-defined O&O AutoSense profile is active, these settings are deactivated.

"Mem-O-Free" gives you the ability to control the amount of available memory. If the amount of free memory falls below the threshold set by you, Mem-O-Free automatically starts, freeing additional memory by forcing Windows to save unneeded data to the hard disk.

"Mem-O-Safe" is a feature designed to reduce the risk of a possible data loss in the event of a system crash. With this option, users are allowed to manually change the update interval for the Windows file cache.

O&O CleverCache Statistics
O&O CleverCache offers you a real-time overview of the current load on your system's main memory, as well as how much is currently available. Through detailed statistical reporting, it is possible to graphically observe your main memory's progress over time. Moreover, these statistics can give you insight into exactly how much performance optimization O&O CleverCache can bring you.
