If the Java Web Start installation is complete, an icon will be added to your desktop. Double clicking it will start WPCleaner. During startup, an automatic update is done if a new release is available (may require another startup for update to download).

Connection

On the startup window, fill the following fields before clicking on the Login button:

• Wikipedia: Choose the Wikipedia on which you would like to work.
• Language: Select the language used by WPCleaner.
• User name: Add your user name.
• Password: Add your password (you may need to create a bot password)

  Note: If you only want to try WPCleaner without using your user name and password, you can use the Demo button. You just won't be able to save changes made to pages.

• Save user name and password: Check this box if you want your user name and password to be saved for the next time.
• Save user name only: Check this box if you only want your user name to be saved for the next time.
• Save none of them: Check this box if you don't want your user name and password to be saved.

Note: If you input an incorrect user name or password, you won't be able to connect with WPCleaner again for a few minutes. This is a protection feature provided by Wikipedia.

Once the connection is established, the window changes and you are ready to work! Many options are available in the main window of WPCleaner.
