Editor's review of Ace Utilities 3
5.0 stars
- "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.

Version: Ace Utilities 3
Pros: Ignore the bad reviews. As long as you are running a stable OS, you should have no problems running this software. I've been using this software once a week for the last two years and have not had ANY problems with it! If Ace Utilities does delete an Important registry file by mistake , you can go back and use the system restore function. Use the best there is, Ace Utilities!

"Good registry cleaner with a lot of other useful functions"
Pros: I've been reading the pros & cons of Registry Mechanic vs. those of Ace Utilities. From my experience, Ace is faster, uses less memory & CPU, and does a darn good job of registry cleaning. It has many settings for different knowledge levels, and of course backup settings for registry files deleted AND junk files deleted. I tested both products, and yes, Registry Mechanic will find a few useless registry entries that Ace didn't; but on the other hand Ace will find ones that RM didn't, plus useless Junk Files, plus a lot of other functions. Registry Mechanic does heavy advertising, and gets good reviews from sites, but Ace has better overall USER ratings. I tried a bootleg Ace Utilities for a couple months and liked it so much that I finally paid for it; now I'm testing RM in the same way, but doubt I'll ever be inspired to pay for it. Also, Ace's stand-alone cookie manager is great!
Cons: Hasn't been updated for a while. It would be nice to see more frequent updates.
