    Has anyone else used this program from PC Tools Software ?

    I download it and ran it only AFTER making sure I had a recent RP.

    It found about 20-25 items. Some were things that had even ( supposedly ) been uninstalled but apparently did a LOUSEY job of cleaning out the registry. Or maybe they had been installed more than once to different locations.

    Locations of some things was also wrong. I must have moved them but the Reg did not follow.

    I let it fix things up and restarted the machine. ( actuall shutdown )

    WOW !! If I had not seen it personally I would never know how much cleaning up the reg could change the speed so much ( for the better ) This machine actually even BOOTS up a bit quicker.

    My wild guess about that is the fact that the startup is no longer looking for stuff that is not there.

    PS.
    This propably should be Other Software. But I left my thinking cap at the Docs' office today.

    OOPS !!!

    This is very close to a duplicate of Registry Cleaner that I myself posted a few days ago.

    I told you I had lost my Thinking Cap.
