The Glary Utilities 2.19.0.800(Free Version) Jan. 21, 2010 is a comprehensive collection of tools that can augment your toolbox. It works in W2K thru Windows 7.
Here is some of the information provided on their site:
“One Click A Day For PC Maintenance, Keeps Any PC Problems Away. With millions of worldwide users, the first-rank & free Glary Utilities is an INDISPENSABLE friend for your PC, with its 100% safe, thorough & quick cleaning and worry-free restoration.
Glary Utilities is a freeware with registry and disk cleaning, privacy protection, performance accelerator and amazing multifunctional tools. It can fix dogged registry errors, wipe off clutters, safeguard confidential files and maintain maximum performance.
It is designed for both novice and professionals. User-friendly interface shows clear & detailed directions. For novice, all work can be done with just 1 or 2 clicks, while for professionals, abundant options are available.“
I found the Registry Cleaner a welcome addition. The initial registry scan came up with a lot of errors not discovered by my other tools. After a reboot all seemed well, I’m writing this on that box.
The program installation is straight forward as is its usage.
I already had several such “commercial” toolboxes installed but this is in fact a welcome addition. A nice touch is the ability to use in W2K since so many similar offerings have abandoned support. Most of our boxes run W2K by choice.
This is well worth of a download. The wide selection of tools will add to even the most heavily loaded utilities.
Pretty much every day I find another pleasant surprise about the features of the Glary Utilities.
