EasyCleaner 2.0.6.380 2.9Mb (16-June-2007)
This versatile utility enables you to clean your Windows Registry of obsolete entries, thus significantly reducing the boot time of your Windows 95/98/ME/NT4/2000/XP PC. It also includes the ability to automate the deletion of temporary files from your hard disk, as instructed in our "Recommended Windows 95/98/ME regular Housekeeping tasks" document. Finally, it also has an excellent Start Menu cleanup facility which can simplify the removal of those dreaded links to the A: drive which always result in your PC accessing your floppy drive when it starts, and whenever you use Explorer. An excellent tool. If you use it to clean your Registry, remember to first close all programs and tray icons before cleaning your registry, and also reboot your PC immediately after cleaning the registry – you will avoid problems this way.
