I use several registry cleaners and this one often finds useless registry entries that the others ignore. Thanks for a great product!

Rename Master

qleft  The best in my humble opinion  qright

Rename Master version 2.8.0
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

I've tried a lot of file renaming utilities and this one is THE BEST, everything considered. The fact that it's free is simply icing on the cake. GET IT.

Side-By-Side Explorer
  • Free Trial ($15.00)
  • Win2000/XP/2003/Vista

qleft  Why bother ?  qright

Side-By-Side Explorer version 2.0
  • Interface: 2
  • Features: 2
  • Ease of use: 2
  • Value: 1
  • Overall: 2

The previous reviews really say it all. It is beyond me (given the availability of free third party dual pane explorers) why anyone would even waste their time writing yet another one and then have the nerve to charge for it. I'm really missing something here. Perhaps next, the author will bless us with one more clock synchronizer?

Eraser
  • Freeware
  • Win98/ME/2000/XP/2003/Vista

qleft  Works great  qright

Eraser version 5.86a
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 4
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

Fantastic secure deletion utility with the additional ability to securely delete your hard drive`s free space. One thing I would like to see added is the ability to pick and choose the type of erasure for the recycle bin instead of having all seven choices to choose from each time I attempt to erase my recycle bin.

JAP

JAP version 00.09.010
  • Interface: 2
  • Features: 3
  • Ease of use: 1

Fifteen 'megabytes' ? WOW ! One could write a whole operating system. Far too large for what it accomplishes...

Vista Manager
  • Free Trial ($39.95)
  • WinWindows Vista

qleft  It's a great utility but...  qright

Vista Manager version 1.4.0
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 1
  • Overall: 4

This monster has sooo many tweaks. Almost mind boggling. Really a great piece of software BUT it is definitely a bit on the pricey side, considering less expensive and even free ones available. The author would do well to reduce the price by $10 or $15 so that more people might purchase this great utility.

Startup Delayer
  • Freeware
  • WinWin (All)

qleft  It`s geek-a-licious !  qright

Startup Delayer version 2.3.130
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

Been using this startup manager for years now, first on Win 98 and most recently on Vista. Most startup managers simply allow you to choose what starts at boot time and what doesn't - and you don't need a startup manager for that. Startup Delayer does much more. It not only allows you to choose what applications and utilities run at boot time, but you can also set the launch timing between applications so they are not all trying to start at the same time. A side benefit of being able to do this is that this allows you to have your apps arranged in your tray the way you want them, not the way your operating system wants them. Best of all, it's FREE. You have nothing to lose by giving it a try. It is THE BEST startup manager I have found.

Recover My Files
  • Free Trial ($69.95)
  • WinWin (All)

qleft  Far too expensive compared to others...  qright

Recover My Files version 3.9.8.5848
  • Interface: 3
  • Features: 4
  • Ease of use: 3
  • Value: 1
  • Overall: 2

It works great, but compared to other file recovery software I have tested, the price of this one is WAY out of line.

EZ Wipe
  • Free Trial ($14.00)
  • Win2000/XP/2003/Vista

qleft  Not worth the price  qright

EZ Wipe version 2.5
  • Interface: 2
  • Features: 2
  • Ease of use: 2
  • Value: 1
  • Overall: 2

Totally agree with the first review of this utility - it's simply not worth it. Too many FREE file erasing utilities available. I would bet this author is a Computer Science student out for a quick buck. He has a lesson to learn about competition. Something like this should be FREE - then charge for the good stuff you write later.

CCleaner
  • Freeware
  • Win2000/XP/Vista

qleft  It's the best - bar none !  qright

CCleaner version 2.03.532
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

This little jewel is the best system cleaning utility out there, period. Main reason is that it is customizable, allowing the user (with a bit of computer savvy) to edit an INI file and delete and clean up what THEY want to, both files and registry content. Thanks for a wonderful tool!

JkDefrag
  • Freeware
  • Win2000/XP/2003/Vista

qleft  May run ok on XP but . . .  qright

JkDefrag version 3.29
  • Interface: 2
  • Features: 2
  • Ease of use: 2
  • Value: 3
  • Overall: 2

I had similar problems that GhostRico reported. Installed this utility twice (two different versions) on Vista and both times it completely wiped out all but the latest of my system backups. I'll stick with Vista's defragger for now.

XYplorer
  • Free Trial ($29.95)
  • WinWin (All)

qleft  The best Windows Explorer replacement  qright

XYplorer version 6.40
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

I've tried almost all of them, and this one is the best, by far. Especially now - compared to the sorry excuse of a file manager that MS is shipping with Vista. THANKS, Don.
