At the risk of taking this slightly off topic, I discovered that the problem with System Mechanic is that it slows to an absolute crawl when it hits a large compressed file, which there are plenty of in the Windows patch undo's. Unfortunately their website did not give me a way to contact them to re...

Best to leave defragging to those who specialize in it. As Hari correctly points out it is a lot of effort and if not done properly can corrupt data or make things perform worse. The oldest defraggers have probably 20 years of refinement under their belts.

I should comment also, no bugs. Very stable. Nice job.

Aha. So it is not a general directory cleanout engine. You are already inferring the "Content.IE5" part of the path and this cannot be overridden.

Point taken on, a better one is coming in a bigger release. It is certainly true that the cache directory is the largest. The main reason I like to purge cookies across the board is that they tend to unnecessarily trigger spyware detectors. There is no way to navigate to the "IE Users" configuration...

Many versions of ad-aware plug-ins will confuse users. The same plug-in will work for both 6 and SE.

Does it make sense to delete Cookies and History of other users along with their cache? Nit: Ad-Aware 6 is not the same release as S...

I might have written operating systems for a living ... In a virtual memory system, it makes no sense to "defragment" physical memory. Any physical memory page can map to any virtual memory page with no loss of performance. In a virtual memory system there is little advantage in having free physical...

When you get a chance, having the "delete permanently" option for shortcuts to make it consistent with junk files would be a nice touch.
