What is Cast Off?
Cast Off is a new preference folder cleansing utility. All those old and
junky preferences; Cast Off will remove them. How about all those
preferences from all that shareware you download, zap them with Cast Off.
Make that mess of sometimes thousands of items into a few hundred in minutes
with Cast Off.
Why is Cast Off better then others like it?
Cast Off has been proven to be, smarter, smaller, faster and even easier to
use then others like it. Cast Off has a intelligent engine built in that
will identify files like nothing else on the market. To make your life even
easier Cast Off includes file and folder exclusions. Also, it can be set to
ignore everything except true preference files or Apple preference files.
For administrative work it allows the creation of log files for every scan.
What do the others have that Cast Off doesn't, nothing!
How much is it?
Cast Off also fits your budget. With the low price of just $10.00 it knocks
those other preference folder cleansers out of the ballpark! Order online
with the convience of the Kagi credit card processing service. Is Cast Off
easy or what.
Why should I care about my preference folder?
You don¹t have to care. You can let it grow till it has 7,000 items worth
over 100 megabytes. Why not keep it clean. Now with Cast Off it isn¹t hard
at all. Imagine all those files from those shareware applications you
launched and then threw away. Imagine how messy your preference folder could
be. If you keep other areas of your computer clutter free, why skip your
preference folder?
How does Cast Off determine what is orphaned?
Cast Off uses two methods to determine what orphaned. First it looks in
your desktop database (were a reference to all applications are stored), if
it doesn¹t find anything then it moves on to the second step. During the
second step it scans your entire hard drive(s) looking for a matching file.
If any matching files/applications are found then Cast Off determines that
it isn¹t orphaned. If the preference fails both tests then it is considered
orphaned.
What are file or folder exclusions?
A file or folder exclusion is a file or folder that is ignored by Cast Off.
So if you want Cast Off to skip over a folder or preference you can set it
to in the settings dialog. Cast Off comes with a high level of customization
like no other preference cleanser like it.
