  "It's good but..."

  by Anonymous220 on January 19, 2006

  Pros: I prefer Ashampoo PowerUp XP.

  But this one is good as well, and this is cheaper, even smaller size of the program.

  "THe Best Rests"

  by Superknown on January 6, 2006

  Pros: THis is My favorite tweak software With Maybe Tune up way back in second. Although this does not have the reg clean, but it does include the kitchen sink. Truly this has it all. You can easily blow a few nights disecting this beautiful piece of software. Each Tweak is laboriously detailed making this a fine learning experience. (at least for me) OUtstanding Customer service. Yes this is PC Tools that some know and love or not Love

  Cons: Why in the World does PC Tools keep PLastering the Spyware Doctor Adds all over the place, and keep this Gem in hiding. THe whole world is aware of the Spyware Doctor and the reg mechanic. Dust this one off it is awesome

  "Excellent Tweaking Utility"

  on January 18, 2004

  Summary: Plenty of cool tweaks to customize Windows, maybe to many for an average computer user. The trial doesn't expire so its pretty useful. Robin, if you need registry cleaner look at Registry Mechanic from the same company.
