Installation
ACC is installed via Windows Installer package that provides a simple Wizard to guide you through the steps. The installer and the application are digitally signed to prevent corruption or malicious intrusion so we can assure you it is safe. Depending on your Windows settings or the browser you use, you may be prompted to confirm you want to continue installing. For example you may see the Windows Protection message like this:
To continue with the installation activate the More info link
Activating this link will present you with the Run Anyway button.

When ACC Tools is launched it will initially display a splash screen and show progress through the steps it performs during startup.
Once the startup tasks are complete the ACC Tools application window will be displayed with the Dashboard tab selected.
Hiding Tools
The tabs for each tool except Dashboard can be hidden. If you never use a tool you can hide it and disable any background activity, such as monitoring for changes.
To hide a tool simply click the small X button in the corresponding tab.
Unhiding Tools
If you hide a tool as described above then want to use the tool, activate the down arrow button at the right end of the top level tab bar.
This will display a menu listing the names of all tools, with hidden tools below a separating line. Simply click an item in the menu to activate that tool. If the tool is hidden it will automatically be unhidden and available in the tab bar.
