Do you mean WinUtilities 9.4 Pro ![]()
Actually, it's WinUtilities Pro 9.95 .
The reviewer at the site noted:
"The Good
* Jack of all trades…
o Has many, many tools/modules (24 in total) including but not limited to registry cleaner, registery defrag, junk/disk cleaner, disk defrag, startup manager, file undelete, secure delete, and EXE password protector.
* Almost no learning curve.
* Automatically creates backups before doing any changes to registry and gives user options to create automatic backups for other tools such as the junk/disk cleaner.
* Has a ’1-click’ system maintenance option.
* Users can schedule times when maintenance will run automatically.
* Each tool/features/module is treated as if it is independent of the others so user can use multiple modules as the same time.
* “WinUtilities Registry Backup” creates non-proprietary .REG backups so user can restore without needing WinUtilities.
* “WinUtilities Privacy Eraser/History Cleaner” has a “plugin” feature which users can use to define custom files/folders to delete.
* Has a portable version.
The Bad
* …but master of none.
o Uninstall manager is simplistic and not much different than the normal uninstaller run by Windows/programs.
o Memory optimizer is the stereotypical, undesirable memory-overloading type.
o “Document Protector” is a cumbersome encryption tool.
o Startup manager does not have the ability to delay startup programs.
o “File Undelete” is a simple MFT reader, no real in-depth recovery of files.
o “Disk Defrag” doesn’t give users the option to first analyze, then defrag – both are done together (one after another) after the user starts the defrag.
* Opens module windows underneath the main program window.
* Comes bundled with Ask Toolbar.
* Portable version is outdated and not kept-up with the latest version."
It has a toolbar and I generally don't like them. That's just my bias, though.
Looks good but I already have umpteen Utilities that do all that. Thanks for the heads up anyway. Good call.
Thanks for info DR I knew I could count on someone here with having more info on this program ![]()
