Searches Windows log files, shortcuts to missing files and folders and user specified file types.

Editor's review of Baku
stars
- "Baku's got your back"
- Reviewed on: November 13, 2008
- Version reviewed: Baku 4.0.3477
Remove the detritus of Windows with this very helpful freeware. Baku's interface is a lesson in clean, efficient design, and cleaning up your computer is easily completed using the three wizards to remove unwanted files, invalid Registry keys, and Most Recently Used lists.
This flexible program allows you to search for specific junk file types and easily exclude folders or drives from the scan. Results can be sorted a number of ways, with buttons to select (or deselect) all items for deletion. One oddity: Instead of going back to the main interface Baku completely closes if you cancel a search.
This freeware clean-up tool is powerful enough for system administrators but easy enough for the intermediate or Registry-savvy user.
