Its similar to ccleaner (shows whats in startup and does a registry scan / clean, but a deeper scan), but doesnt have a uninstall option, or clean temp files etc (yet) Got a bit of a shock, when it picked up 740 invalid entries lol. So, removed them (it gives you the option to do a system restore point). It does this automatically, if you say yes. Anyway, rebooted, to see if it killed anything lol it didnt, I made it back here. And umm yup, I did notice an increase in boot-time (it compacts the registry while its at it).	Speedy Gonzales (78)

It finds a lot more than CCleaner (admittedly a lot of low-priority entries), and has a compact option also. You tend to get bigger performance gains with older machines that have had a lot of installs/uninstalls. Reg cleaners do have their skeptics (much like defragging!) but I've got no doubt they work.	nofam (9009)
