Answers to sometimes asked questions:

  • If Mighty Desktop does not appear for a long time after installation or Windows , not even on double-click, see here.

  • If Windows pretends that Mighty Desktop contains a virus, please read about False Alarms here.

  • Please don't miss the practical tips in the Online Help for the corresponding tab (F1 key in the program) or here. Our help pages are different from some other vendors.

Last changes:

    • File Copier: You can now drop folders on the button "Files…" and it will all files in these folders
    • File Monitor: New button "Who has this open?"
    • File Renamer:
    • • New treatment part "FileName up to ."

    • • If find type is 'Regex' escape sequences in the replacement string are interpreted

    • System File Checker: New button for viewing the Log
    • System Safety Functions: The buttons for the Microsoft Safety Scanner and Microsoft Malware Removal Tool had to be removed. They are dangerous. They just delete all Atlas products because they can't look inside and think they are dangerous. That's not how professional antivirus software should behave. Firstly the user should be given a choice, secondly the software should be moved to a quarantine zone, not deleted without warning. Thirdly, correctly digitally signed software should never be removed without warning. We recommend not to use this software because it can harm your installations and lead to long reinstallation time losses.
