WinPatrol Help: Recent Programs

WinPatrol: Recent Files Detected

WinPatrol's top feature is how it monitors and keeps track of when significant programs are first detected. Ideally, WinPatrol should be the first program you install when you build or purchase a new computer. The "First Detected" feature for each type provides important information when diagnosing any kind of system problem. The "Recent" list is just a tool which provides easy access to when files were detected and which type of action they provide. You can also go to each tab and sort the "First Detected" column by clicking on the top.
Over time some programs no longer exist on your computer. WinPatrol will eventually remove the information about when they were first detected. Some registry cleaner programs may also try to clean the registry location used by WinPatrol for detected information.

This feature is only available if you've upgraded to WinPatrol PLUS.

To close or Exit the WinPatrol tab interface click the X in the upper right hand corner or the Close button. WinPatrol will continue monitor changes but the main interface will be removed from memory.
