utility suite

[Guest]

Using XP on a PC.

I'm familiar with Norton System Works, but am looking for another utility
suite for general cleanup of registry, file maintenance, short cut
maintenance, and general problem solving. Anyone have recommendations?

Registry cleaners do not work as well as they suggest.. if you must have
one, try this..

You already have Defragmenter and ErrorCheck as part of XP..

Tweakui can mess with shortcuts and is free..

Newsgroups are a great place for general problem solving..

The above utilities are nothing like as invasive as NSW or programs of the
genre.. save you money for something that does give a return.. Age of
Empires III for instance..
