Installed perfectly on a win7 32bit OS.

Simple but effective startup screen, it's very user friendly.
The cleanup tasks are very fast and easy to start.

list of all applications:

- Registry backup
- Registry cleaner
- Registry Defrag
- Make a system restore point
- Restore system with a system restore point.
- Disk cleaner
- Disk Defrag
- file recovery
- memory optimizer
- auto task to shut down reboot etc
- file/folder hider (with password)
- Application encrypter/decrypter (set a password on a program so only you can open it )
- startup program manager

I have tried all tasks except the defrag task.
The one's i did try are working fine.

Thank you GOTD for this nice and easy program.
And congrats to wisecleaner

I too have made the same mistakes before of running a reg cleaner and went along with their recommendation of clicking one button to "fix" every single suggested erroraneous reg. (BTW, Glary's Utility offers basic reg cleaner just like Wise PC Engineering. Personally, I prefer specialized softwares for reg cleaner, disk cleaner, and disk defragment over all-in-one package because they offer more thorough clean up options.)

After many disasterous experiences, I learn the trick is to not "fix" every suspicious registry noted by the reg cleaner software. Instead, you go over each one and check each problematic reg and find out what their problems are. Reg cleaners are great at telling you what the problems are. For instance, in my case, I found several registry problems turned out to be file path non-existence. In those cases, all I had to do was "modify" using regedit to correct the file path. The only safest thing you can "fix" or "delete" without regrets are your reg.s of "MRU history data" because most of them will rebuild on their own when you re-start the applications later. But even then, I always review each reg and decide if I really need to fix them or not.

The important thing to leave regs that are part of your existing installed apps alone unless you are 100% sure of what you are doing. Only fix "leftover regs" from obsoleted/uninstalled softwares. This is why I suggest you manually review each of the recommended reg before clicking the button.

Another trick is to always make a c drive image backup before you start any registry cleaning. This way if you screw up, you can still restore your hard drive and not have to deal with reinstalling every broken application. Alternatively, backup your regs before you make any changes but I find it much easier to just do an image backup.

Other regs that I don't recommend touching are those pertaining to fonts, temp files, and keys unless are they are leftover regs from some uninstalled softwares.

Hope my personal tips here will those new to the concept of reg cleaners. If you use them properly with caution, you will definitely see an improvement in your PC performance and an increase in boot time speed.

registry cleaners sometimes go wrong and delete important ones. I've heard many reg. cleaners claim that they're the best in the market. But not all of them explain why they're the best. I once used Glary Utility's (given away here in the last year) reg cleaner and always regret that i clicked on that button without saving the regs first. most of my programs just don't start! I just can't take a risk and try its reg cleaner. I don't have any test machine like those great commentators who have extra machines. Thanks!

Update:
Locks up during registry cleaning on my machine. Win 7 x64 SP1.

So I tried it a second time and seleted just ONE safe key to delete. 10 minutes later nothing, app is locked up again. Oh well.

You do not require a test machine. Use Virtualbox for testing any Operating Systems, Applications etc. There are may freeware utilities to clone your present installation of Windows to the Virtual Hard disk file.
