Editor's review of Ace Utilities 2.5.0

"This utility is Ace"

Ace Utilities presents a suite of familiar PC-managing tools with a very small system-resource footprint.

Smaller than 2.25MB, the tools are all integrated into a clean, familiar, easy-to-use interface with options at the top and down the left gutter. Click on one option and it opens a new window; finish using it and it closes down to the main tool menu.

The Registry Cleaner lets you decide which invalid keys to delete and whether to exclude removable media and CDs from examination. To free up disk space, Disk Analysis displays which files and folders take up the most room. The Cleaning tools find empty folders and files, temporary and unnecessary files, broken shortcuts, and duplicate files, and then remove them--permanently if need be. Not only can the program handle browser tracks, but plug-ins add support for popular apps such as Acrobat, Kazaa, and ICQ.

These robust and customizable features--combined with the access Ace Utilities provides to a few hidden Windows settings, and the option of using it in the Beginner or Expert mode--make the download suitable for every level of user.

"An effective system cleaner"

by ScottSF on June 7, 2005

Pros: This package of utilities (registry cleaner, system scanner, etc.) works very well. I like the program's simple interface and speed. It's got the right mix of utilities for performing regular maintenance on your system.

Cons: There should be more backup/undo options as all programs in this category leave huge potential to do some serious harm to your computer. I'd only recommend this product to people who have a lot of confidence in their computer know-how.

"Great utilities package"

by chris_amsterdam on June 3, 2005

Pros: Does everything its supposed to quickly and effectively. Contains most if not all the utilities any intermediate user could want. Intuitive interface. Quick and clean download and install. Great utilities package.

Cons: Wish it were free, still debating whether its worth it to me pay for it after the trial period, this would be the first of tens of programs (not all utilities but still) Ive downloaded that I'd pay for and keep after the trial period.
