Reviewed by: Seth Rosenblatt on November 13, 2008
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.

Version: Baku 3.4.2966
"Easy ti use, fast & efficient"
Pros: Does everything I want on my XP Media Centre Edition & doesn't cause me any problems. Cleaned up my system and it seems to run faster. And so far it's free. This is the type of software that serves as an example of stuff that comes from a reliable publisher who is worthwhile doing business with. Keep up the good work.
Cons: Doesn't put an icon on my desktop & I had to find it on my disk.

Version: Baku 3.4.2966
"A Lot of Power for One Small Program"
Pros: It's extremely thorough and fairly fast. I love the registry compacter. I generally use (and love) ccleaner, but I think this program covers more stuff, and in more detail. While I won't give up my ccleaner, I will supplement it's actions with this one.
Baku is both effective and useful. My rating might be closer to a 4.5-star, but overall, I think it's an extremely powerful program! It sped up my pc just fine!
Cons: This program is almost scarey in some ways. I'm a bit of a novice in most areas, so I look forward to learning more about using it both safely and effectively.
BACK-UP stuff, make RESTORE POINTS!!! Especially when in doubt about what a program does or how to use it properly! This one packs a lot of punch!!! More thorough information would be most helpful for novices like me.
