    "Simple, elegant and functional."

    April 1, 2009  |   By dvana

    Version: EMCO MoveOnBoot 1.10.2.10

    Pros

    This software does exactly what it claims, and it does it well. I've used this for a variety of "undeletable" files over time, and I've never had it choke on me or cause a single problem. The right-click functionality makes this a real gem.

    Cons

    None that I have observed.

    "Didn't work for me"

    November 6, 2008  |   By howardferns

    Version: EMCO MoveOnBoot 1.10.2.10

    Pros

    None that I found

    Cons

    I tried it on an annoying leftover file from a email notifier that I once had, and it was still there after I rebooted. That was old stuff, I now use Revo Uninstaller which leaves no traces.

    Summary



    Updated on Nov 7, 2008

    The other version, Move On boot 1.9.5, didn't get rid of my unwanted file either. But Unlocker did!

    "Excellent app!"

    September 24, 2008  |   By nancarl

    Version: EMCO MoveOnBoot 1.10.2.10

    Pros

    There's nothing more maddening than trying to dump an app that's locked itself tightly into your computer's OS. Over the several years I've used MoveOnBoot it's failed me only 2 or 3 times (one of those times it was Norton). Otherwise, I love it!

    Cons

    It was defeated by Norton, but so was almost everything else!

    Summary

    Love it!

    "PERFECT FOR FILES THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO REMOVE"

    September 18, 2008  |   By rballard77

    Version: EMCO MoveOnBoot 1.10.2.10

    Pros

    Very easy program to use. I had folders on my computer that were locked by the operating system. Don't know why. I used this program and it removed all of them!

    Cons

    I did not find any negatives.

    "Will need time."

    January 3, 2008  |   By james428

    Version: EMCO MoveOnBoot 1.10.2.10

    Pros

    I havent used it yet,just downloaded it now. But I have several problem app. that i'm unable to Deleat or uninstall So I'll give this a try. I've used several Registory Cleaners with no suscess. I will just have to get back to you. If this dosent work,the only thing I can think to do is erase the hard drive and start all over again. I'm just not a computer expert...a newbe would be for fitting for me.

    Cons

    Give me a couple of days because I'm very tired right now.2days ago I was running Glary Utilities Registory cleaner when I had forgot about my automatic backup was to kick-in.Oh what a mess I found when I came back from lunch ! Now my defrag is almost all red.I did have 77%work space,Now its 30%work space with all that red fragmented space I can't seem to remove. I'll get back to ya.jamesp428@yahoo.com / spider2web@verizon.net 1/3/08 9:27 am.

    "Does what it says & its FREE!"

    November 17, 2007  |   By akaneohe

    Version: EMCO MoveOnBoot 1.1

    Pros

    Relatively easier to use than it looks, which is quite plain. Great in removing locked files that programs like CCleaner and McAfee Total Protection cannot remove. Great program and it is FREE!

    Cons

    Immediate lack of 1-2-3 starting operation, but after searching Help files located the necessary information.

    "Fantastic!"

    June 24, 2007  |   By Jim Harmon

    Version: EMCO MoveOnBoot 1.1

    Pros

    This easily deleted a file that I simply couldn't. I haven't tried the right click option, but I found the drag and drop method to be quite handy since I had several files I wanted to delete.

    Cons

    Maybe it was just my system, but the one time I used this program my computer took literally over a minute to "Restart." (3Ghz CPU, 1.5G RAM, 86% free space on HD). Even if this aspect is "normal" when using it, it's WELL worth the wait.

    "I LOVE THIS, DUDES"

    January 12, 2007  |   By mauro_vos

    Version: EMCO MoveOnBoot 1.1

    Pros

    It removed a nagging app hidden in my WINDOWS files that couldn't be removed by Windows, couldn't be blocked by DoNotDisturb, couldn't be deleted with regedit or anything like that and couldn't be uninstalled by Magic Utilities 2006.

    It's free too. Very easy to use. Can move files or rename them also.

    Cons

    It has no cons so there won't be any updates :)
