1. Purpose

QuadRate is a useful power tool for Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP that
makes it easy to view your machine's current configuration and resources,
quickly customize various settings, and clean up unwanted files and
registry entries.

QuadRate is the easy way to access many of the Windows' "hidden features"
that can make the difference between a pleasurable computing experience
and a sluggish, hard to use, and sometimes ugly excursion into digital
hell.

- The System Information tab provides useful technical information about
your system that you may need whenever you contact technical support or if
you want to know about your hardware and operating system.

- The Desktop tab allows you to change options that can enhance your
systems appearance, speed, and accessability.

- The Performance tab has many advanced features that can help you boot up
faster and run faster.

- The Clean Up tab allows you to remove unwanted files and registry
entries that can clog up your hard drive, pose a security risk and slow
your system down.

QuadRate is a 32-bit application designed to be run with Windows 95,
98, ME, NT, 2000 and XP.  It needs less than 250 KB of hard drive space
for installation, and consumes minimal resources when active.


2. Installation

To install QuadRate, simply run the InstallQuadRate.exe setup program from
the directory it was extracted to - even if you are replacing an older
version.  You will be prompted for an installation directory; the default
is "C:\Program Files\QuadRate\" and should be used in most cases.  Full
installation and uninstall software is included.


3. Test-Drive Software Notice

QuadRate is trial software, which means you get to try it out before you
decide whether you want to buy it.  Once you've installed QuadRate, you
can test it for up to 30 days.  After the 30-day trial period, if you
decide  that it's not something you want to have, simply remove it from
your system by running the Add/Remove Software from the Windows Control
Panel.

If you decide to keep QuadRate, please pay for it.  A lot of effort has
gone into producing this software.  To register, send a check or money
