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:
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?
  1. Spread the word about the program.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
