The SmartMenu 1.0 software is a great way to manage your Windows operating system. With this software, you can manage various aspects of your computer such as its desktop icons, desktop wallpaper, taskbar, desktop effects, shortcuts, and the like. This is a great software that will make your life easier. However, as all good things in life, there are plenty of problems associated with the software. Specifically, there are two types of problems: new users and programs. This article explains why this software may not be the ideal choice for Windows XP.
Free versions of applications are not usually the best choice when it comes to managing a computer. Often, these free applications come from the makers of popular applications. While it's nice to have free versions of applications, they often come with a lot of bugs and very limited functionality. For example, many free versions of web browsers do not function properly and they force you to use a totally different browser. So, instead of using one of the free versions of Internet Explorer, which is probably the best web browser, you'll have to choose between Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7. Not only is this frustrating but you may end up inadvertently doing something that will cause your computer to crash, which is a huge issue if you have a lot of files on your computer.
As for programs, SmartMenu software will usually come with a trial version that will allow you to try the program before you buy it. However, even if you are a pro at managing your computer, it can be difficult to navigate through a large number of files. Fortunately, a new feature of the Windows Vista operating system called the folder restore feature has been included in the program. The new feature allows you to restore any of your computer files and folders. If you're like me, and are a computer newbie, then you can use this feature to restore your personal files such as pictures and music. This is a great feature to have, but it's going to cost you about $40 USD per user, so make sure you can afford to pay that much before you download SmartMenu.
