OleClean1.5

OleClean is a small software application developed specifically for helping you remove OLE entries from your Windows registry. It can be installed on all Windows versions out there.The purpose of the utility is to help you gain extra space on the disk and make your computer run faster by getting rid of OLE garbage items left behind after installing and uninstalling several DLLs. It is particularly useful for those who build DLLs in Visual Basic.

Portable running mode

This is a portable program. You can keep it stored on USB flash drives or other portable devices and carry it with you all the time. Gaining access to the tool’s features requires only opening the executable file because there’s no installation included in the process.What’s more, you can open it without administrative privileges on the target computer and uninstall it using a quick deletion task. It does not write anything to your Windows registry, it just removes OLE files. All configuration files are actually saved on the storage device.

Simplistic looks

You are welcomed by a clean layout that allows you to set up the dedicated parameters in a short amount of time. An online help manual is available in case you want to find out more about the tool’s capabilities.

Scan and deletion tasks

OleClean gives you the possibility to scan your Windows registry for unnecessary OLE entries. The results are grouped into four categories, namely bad classes, bad library types, bad interfaces, and bad programs’ IDs.Plus, you are offered the freedom to manually select the files that you want to delete, view details about the total number of identified errors, as well as stop a long scan in case it takes too much time.Tests have pointed out that OleClean carries out a task quickly and without errors. It eats up CPU and memory resources during a scan process so the overall performance of the computer may be affected.

Configuration settings

A few configuration parameters are hidden under the hood for helping you exclude files from the scan process, select the OLE types that you want to look for (bad classes, bad library types, bad interfaces, and bad programs’ IDs), as well as ignore numeric tails.

Final remarks

All things considered, OleClean provides a straightforward software solution for helping you clean your Windows Registry from OLE garbage items.
