Welcome
============================================================================

CachemanXP is a Windows system service designed to improve the performance
of your computer by optimizing several caches, auto-recovering RAM and fine
tuning a number of system settings. Auto-Optimization makes it suitable
for novice and intermediate users yet it is also powerful and versatile
enough for computer experts. Backups of settings ensure that all user
modifications can be reversed with a single click.

CachemanXP requires Windows NT4/2000/2003 or XP to run, uses minimal
resources and virtually no CPU time. The help file includes a screenshot
based system performance guide.
