ReWIN16 Sept 2009 Beta

Even if there aren’t any malicious types of content on your computer, constantly installing and removing programs or other types of items can put a strain on performance. This can mean cluttered registry entries and countless temp files which never got removed, but you can easily clean them out with applications like ReWIN.

Can be used on the go

Since there’s no setup involved, you can see what ReWIN is all about from the moment download is done. More than that, you can have it stored on a USB flash drive to serve as your personal cleaning tool, just in case other computers might require attendance.A scan operation starts as soon as you run the application, and there’s really nothing you can do about it, which is rather a pain. On the bright side of things, running it without administrator privileges doesn’t let it initiate the cleaning process, so you can take the first run to see what areas of your computer might need cleaning.

Select areas to scan and clean

With the scan operation finished, it’s recommended to pay a visit to the settings panel, because you can tweak the areas which are targeted on the next run. Here, you can choose to reset the registry and file permissions in case they got modified, analyze defaults and apply corrections, remove junk and cached files and folders, initiate Windows services optimization, clean and tweak registry entries, and attempt to boost performance.Scanning and cleaning only take a lot of time if your computer is in horrible shape. Note, however, that by the end of the scan process, the application proceeds with cleaning every enabled area, so it’s recommended to create a system restore point.

A few last words

All things considered, we can state that ReWIN is a pretty straightforward cleaning tool, but it doesn’t mean it can’t get the job done. You can set scan and clean areas with little effort, but just be careful to have all work saved, and a restore point created.
