A really good free-of-charge registry and system cleaner
article #339, updated 4526 days ago

jv16 PowerTools Lite 2011. In my opinion, much better than CCLEANER and many others. Possibly not the fastest, but works the best, IMHO.

There is also a Pro version with system accelerator features, does even more.

Identify, disable, and re-enable startup items and toolbars
article #345, updated 4576 days ago

So far as I have been able to ascertain, nothing does this very helpful task better than Toolbar Cop. It’s a little program, published in 2005 (!), but it does the job faster and more effectively than anything else I’ve tried, on every version of Windows since 2000. It does its job using .REG files for each item, so you can easily re-enable by a quick merge.

Its home is here:
