Registry Workshop
  • Free Trial ($29.95)
  • WinWin (All)

qleft  Great - but pricey  qright

Registry Workshop version 4.2.3
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 2
  • Overall: 4

I must agree wholeheartedly with gbjennings. This is indeed the best registry editor around, but it is still a bit expensive compared to others, including a few free regedit replacements.

FileTypesMan
  • Freeware
  • Win2000/XP/2003/Vista

qleft  It's outstanding !  qright

FileTypesMan version 1.52
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

I am a huge fan of Nir Sofer, and this utility is no exception to the rule. It works great and I find it far easier to use than wading through Microsoft's file and folder options to accomplish the same thing. And, as opposed to an earlier comment, you can indeed make system changes with this program. My guess is the last reviewer is not familiar with the context menu. ;-)

Been using PicPick as my screen capture tool for close to a year now and it is absolutely awesome! The fact that it is FREE is simply frosting on the cake!

Hide Folders 2009
  • Free Trial ($29.95)
  • Win2000/XP/2003/Vista

qleft  This little application really rocks !  qright

Hide Folders 2009 version 3.2
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

I tried many others, but Hide Folders 2009 does exactly what I (or anyone else) need to keep sensitive information from prying eyes. It is capable of showing folders when you open it with a password and closing them automatically upon application close. All you have to do it try it to agree it's the best around.

Like all of Nir Sofer`s software, it works great and delivers exactly what it claims. What more can or should you expect. Thanks, Nir!

Freeraser
  • Freeware

Freeraser version 1.0.0.10
  • Interface: 1
  • Features: 1
  • Ease of use: 3
  • Value: 3
  • Overall: 2

There are other, and better, erasers available that integrate with your explorer menu so you can erase files directly from Windows explorer.

SyncBackSE version 5.3.0.18
  • Interface: 5

I've tried many backup utilities and this one tops them all. You can 'program' this little beauty to backup, restore or ignore virtually any file(s) or folder(s) you choose. Keep up the great work!

MyDefrag
  • Freeware
  • Win2000/XP/2003/Vista

qleft  Same problem !  qright

MyDefrag version 3.35
  • Interface: 1
  • Features: 1
  • Ease of use: 1
  • Value: 1
  • Overall: 1

I reviewed this product over 9 months ago and gave it a poor rating because it totally wiped out all of my Vista restore points. Now here we are 9 months later and V3.35 does exactly the same thing ! Great... If you are a Vista user, you have been warned!

Pc Tools File Recover
  • Free Trial ($29.95)

qleft  Good tool, but too costly.  qright

Pc Tools File Recover
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 4
  • Value: 1
  • Overall: 3

It seems to work great, but compared to other (FREE) file undelete utilities available, it's far overpriced...

Rename Master
  • Freeware
  • WinWin (All)

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.

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
  • Freeware

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

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 (Slim)
  • Freeware
  • Win2000/XP/Vista

qleft  It's the best - bar none !  qright

CCleaner (Slim) 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!

XYplorer
  • Free Trial ($24.95)
  • 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.
