    their is one sure way to clear temp files and useless clutter its to setup the os how you want it and image the drive then when the computer slows down just restore the image ..its also very good if your computer get virus their no need to look round for the cure either

    Ever heard of CCleaner and its startup option?

    Excellent program. I like how the author, despite many complaints about antiquated command line operation, just added 2 more command line parameters. That will teach us to ask for modernization! Still gets a 5, because it works exactly as you need a temp wrangling program to work.

    Reviewing 3.4.3.1 (Sep 22, 2009)

    The pluses:

    Does what it says

    The minuses:

    Not a point and click setup for customising paths

    Relies on .Net framework, yes most people will have it installed, but its still a bit piece of kludge as a framework.

    I have a tool i wrote myself in autoIt that does the same thing and is barely 250Kb, doesnt rely on MS's bloatware to run....

    Considering that the author went to all the trouble of using MS bloatware, you think he could have spent some time making adding custom paths a point and click job....seems insane not to have done this....

    Great program!

    The good: Small. Fast. No install. 1 File Wonder. Works on bootup, keeping temp folders spotlessly clean. No hunting for a crack or keygen because the author supplies them on the web page. Deletes only 3 day old TEMP files to prevent failed program installs requiring re-boot.

    The Bad: The program has 3 serious shortcomings: command line, command Line, and command line. It takes too long, is too tedious, and maybe even a bit dangerous to configure all the command line arguments. Why not just have a few check boxes for the mentally lame and lazy(like me!)?

    In spite of the 3 serious shortcomings, it still rates a solid 5.
