Publisher's description of Advanced Disk Cleaner
Every day the programs on your computer create temporary and garbage files and leave them behind on your hard disk. These files build up over time, taking up valuable hard disk space and slowing your system down. Advanced Disk Cleaner is a free program, which makes it easy to quickly find and wipe away all the garbage files on your computer. It scans your disks quickly and then displays the garbage files so you can decide which of them you want removed. The program accurately detects and identifies only the garbage files.
In the options dialog you can add or modify the folders and file types to clean, as well as the ones you want to be excluded from the search. You can also choose between several methods of deleting files or moving to a special folder or simple deletion. After using Advanced Disk Cleaner you will have more disk space at your disposal so you can install more programs, have more MP3 music files.
Version 5 adds support for Windows Vista.

Editor's review of Advanced Disk Cleaner
4.0 stars
- "Ditch junk files with ease"
It's not advanced in the true sense of the word, but this tool quickly scans for and removes junk files on your PC. Advanced Disk Cleaner is designed with the novice in mind, and scans are easily initiated with the touch of a button. Junk files are listed separately, and you can quickly select all of the files or handpick which ones to delete. As it scans, a helpful status bar shows how many folders have been scanned and how many junk files have been found. By default, the program scans for certain extensions like TMP and BAK, and you can add or remove extensions.
We liked the three options that allow you to completely remove junk files, place them in the Recycle Bin, or move them to a user-specified folder. The program also provides access to your computer's RegEdit and Control Panel. You won't find other tools (like a defragmenter) to manage or optimize disk space with this program. And even though its free, you will need a registration code to continue using the program after the 30-day trial. Despite the minor hassle of registration, Advanced Disk Cleaner can help any level user get rid of unnecessary files.

Version: Advanced Disk Cleaner 5
"Used the older version with great sucess!"
Pros: With this software you can safely get rid of unwanted garbage files that can clog up your hard drive and slow your system down. I've only known this program to find bad files that were safe to delete. It won't let you delete any files that are in use by any other programs. Another neat feature is, if you click on the system tab you can go right to the registry editor where you can also delete any leftover registry files from a previous uninstall. I've recieved great service from innovative solutions. One time I had some computer trouble where I had to use system restore. After that I needed a new key code (see below). I contacted support and that same day they e-mailed me a new key code. The only difference I can tell from the older version is the information popup windows have a cleaner, sharper apperance. Everything else is the same.
Cons: Innovative solutions does require that you register your download. However that takes only a few minutes of your time. A valid e-mail address is required to aquire a key code, where as you cut and paste, to continue using the software.
