If I had a few quid from every person who had come to me saying 'There's something wrong with my computer after I used this free Tune-up program' I'd be a reasonably well-off fellow 
All I'll say is 'Use at your own risk'
And no, I haven't looked at it, the words 'tune-up software' and 'computer' go together like oil and water in my experience.
But don't let me put you off or anything...

I have used this on my XP pc along with a Ashampoo program.
However I do not use all of the tweaks and stuff. I only use the bits I think are of value. Like the shortcut arrows really anoy me on the desktop, this gets rid of them. A small thing but it keeps me happy. I cann't tell you what else I used from it as I'm wading through Mandy Mud at the moment.

Who's this Mandy Mud then ?
I seem to be drawn to these "free" tune - ups.....as a matter of fact, if it says free i'm just sucked in. I can't help it.
I usuall get a bit of a fright then and uninstall saying "never again" and why did i do that.
Oh well. Last night i downloaded the RC windows 7 and am still debating whether or not its worth the bother. Also, i'm not sure how to do the dual system jobbie. I'll have to read a lot more, i think, but i'm rather busy with me new photography hobby at the moment.
Zzzzz

Mandy is short for Mandriva, a Linux Distro....And MAndy mud would probably mean Abarbarian can't get something to work on Mandy...
Most people are drawn in by "free"...Tome "free" normally means you are downloading 3 year old software, that in 6 months time you will have topay a bomb to upgrade to the newest version or un-install...
Windows 7 is brilliant. The dual booting is not that difficult to do. Just have a good read and take your time at it...

I'm with Floppy on this one ...
You have all the "tune-up" tools in Windows already ...

You may not believe it but i got it purely because you recommended it. I too am pi***d of with the little short cut arrows on the on screen icons, although i haven't changed them quite yet. Then it would have to be the TuneUp system optimizer. I want to play with internet surf and download speeds but i'm using the defrag at the moment. Will get back to you on the rest.
Thanks again for the tip.

You can remove the Short cut rrows via REGEDIT rahter than downloading anything. Quite simple to do if you're confident abut using Regedit. But if you are to do it this way, always best to back up Registry....

Thanks for the tip MadX.
I would never have thought to back up first.

Hi AB,
I reckon the defrag util. on this app. isnt too good. It only ran for about 5 mins and said then i didnt need to defrag. After that i tried the auslogics app. It wasdefragging for abot 18 minutes and i have to say it did quite a lot of shifting around of stuff. I think things were a bit quicker after it but couldn't say for sure tbh.4
More soon.
