As this is not important for the function of the program and costs computing power, it is deactivated by default. If you want animations to be displayed, just check the box in front the option.
Backups Backups are there for safety so that they enable the problem-free recovery of the registry. These backups are created and saved automatically. In order to keep track of things (several backups are created during frequent use), the program deletes backups every 30 days by default, if you confirm this process. In this menu you can define how long backups are to be stored (7 days / 14 days / 30 days / Never). Just tick the box in font of the appropriate option. If older backups should be deleted without your confirmation, uncheck the box in front of Ask before deleting old backups automatically.
Usually backups are deleted without being moved into the recycle bin of your system. If you would like for backups to be moved to the recycle bin first, please tick the box in front of Move backups to the recycle bin instead of deleting. If you have restored a backup, you will have had a good reason for that. If such a restored backup should be deleted automatically, please check the appropriate box in front of Delete successfully restored backups.
