I’m going to once again attempt to entice those who have not done so already to download Revo Uninstaller (www.revouninstaller.com) as I believe it’s one of the most valuable “free” utilities available.
Revo’s most significant feature is its ability to scan your computer and present for deletion a list of left over unnecessary files, folders and registry keys associated with a deleted application. However its ability to provide information about any installed application is a feature I believe to be almost as significant.
By right clicking on any application you can select from a menu:
* “About Link”: Accesses your web browser and displays the address containing information about the application.
* “Help Link”: Accesses your web browser and displays the address containing help information.
* “Update Link”: Accesses your web browser and displays the address providing update information.
* “Google Search” Initiates a search for the application’s name, producer or source of the application.
* “Windows Explorer”: To see where the selected application is installed.
* “Registry Key”: Accesses your registry editor and displays the registry key containing the uninstall information about the selected application.
Other Revo’s features include:
* Junk Files Cleaner: Revo will find and remove junk and unnecessary files on a selected drive(s) using either its default file extensions or those you select.
* Auto Run Manager: Not only enable or disable applications from auto starting on Windows startup, but also provides an opportunity for you to obtain information about the publisher of the auto starting program, its description and its launch path. If the information provided isn’t sufficient for you to decide whether or not to enable or disable the program from auto running, you can obtain additional information about the publisher and the executable file name directly via a Google search by right clicking on the application.
* MS Office Cleaner: If you do not want somebody to see your last opened or edited MS Office spreadsheets, documents or other files, you can select those you do not want others to see and remove them from the Recent Documents list by clicking the “Clear” button.
* Windows Cleaner: Removes history and temporary files.
* Evidence Remover: Will permanently erase files and folders you have deleted but remain physically on your hard disk. The data erased is impossible to recover.
* Unrecoverable Delete: Erases files and/or folders you individually select for permanent deletion . The deleted data is impossible to recover .
Revo is a must have utility!
Here’s wishing you a Good Boot.
