Using the program
Setting program language
Right click on the program icon in system tray ('M') and
select 'Options'. A new window will open. Find the button 'Set language'
and click on it. A list of available languages and their translators
will open. Select the desired language and click 'OK'. Changes will
take effect emidiatelly and will be loaded each time the program is
started.
Hiding the window title
If you want to save some desktop space you can turn the blue title
region off. This way only the grey part of the program (where all the
data is) will be shown.
Right click on the program icon in system tray ('M') and deselect the
'Show Title' item in the menu.
To turn window title back select the same item from the menu.
Moving the program window
You can move the program window like any other program by dragging the
window title or the contents of the window (grey area).
The program is designed to snap to the screen edge. When you'll come
close to the edge of the screen, the program window will 'jump' to the
edge and lock itself there.
Hiding the program window
You can hide the program window by doing one of the following:
- Left click on the 'M' icon in the system tray.
- Right click on the program icon in system tray ('M') and
deselect the 'Show window' item in the menu.
To show the window again click on the icon again or select the 'Show'
item in the menu.
Start Mihov DiskFree with Windows
You can make Mihov DiskFree run every time Windows start.
Right click on the program icon in system tray ('M') and select
'Options' item from the menu. In the new window select 'Run the program
on Windows startup' and click the 'OK' button. Next time you run
Windows the program will run with them.
Selecting drives to monitor
Right click on the program icon in system tray ('M') and select
'Options' item from the menu. A new window with all drive letters will
open. If you want data for a specified drive letter to be displayed,
check the box in front of the disk name. Click the 'OK' button to save
the settings.
Selecting one drive for the system tray
icon
Right click on the program icon in system tray ('M') and select
'Options' item from the menu. A new window will open. On the right-hand
side you can see the 'Show icon for disk' menu. Select the drive
letter, for which you would like the system tray icon show the free
space. Click the 'OK' button to save the settings.
Setting refresh interval
Right click on the program icon in system tray ('M') and select
'Options' item from the menu. A new window will open. On the right-hand
side you can select the refresh display interval. The data is in
miliseconds (i.e. if you select 1300 ms that means 1,3 seconds). Click
the 'OK' button to save the settings.
Unistalling
First you have to make sure that you turn off the option to run the
program with windows. You can see how you do this here.
Than unistall the program like you would uninstall any other program
(Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs
-> Mihov DiskFree).

How can I help?
- Spread the word about the program.
- If you know someone who might need such a program, send
them the link to the programs web site at http://diskfree.mihov.com and
suggest them to download the program.
- If you know a publisher of a computer magazine or if you are
one, suggest publishing a review of the program in the magazine.
- To save my time, more experienced users can help users who
encounter problems. Log into the forum at http://forum.mihov.com and try to
answer some questions. This way you will be known as an 'expert' and
you will feel good that you can help someone who needs help.
- Send me a postcard and tell me that you appreciate what I do
(you can get my address here
). You can also send me a real letter and add your picture in there! But
please don't send me e-cards or e-mails since my mailbox is already
full all the time - if you want to say thanks on-line, use the forum.
