gu large Glary Utilities Cleans Your PC and Optimizes it for SpeedPROS: Clean interface, easy installation, one-click cleaning (automatic with PRO version), tons of modules to help you optimize your PC.CONS: The PRO version is a little pricey for me. Some modules are not well explained and could leave users a little unsure of what is going on with their PC.

VERDICT: The free version is free for personal use and I highly recommend it. The PRO version is $28 at time of writing, but I’d still like to see it for $20. Definitely try the free version and explore the PRO features to see what you think.

PRICE: Free (Pro $39.95.)

7e224fa0 Enable Dreamscene in Windows 7 [How to]

I was very disappointed to see the Ultimate Extras seen in Windows Vista, dropped in Windows 7 (if you can call them Ultimate extras!).  DreamScene was one of my favourites, but no fear, it can be enabled in Windows 7.

Windows DreamScene is a utility that allows videos and other optimized animations to be used as desktop wallpapers

Note:  You must have Aero enabled.

Here’s how it’s done;

PROS: Registry Booster does what it claims: cleans, optimizes, and backs up your registry.

CONS: Registry optimization is an often debated topic amongst tech enthusiasts. Other programs optimize your registry and the rest of your PC.

VERDICT: This program runs smoothly and the free version fixes the first 15 errors. If you’re serious about keeping your PC optimized and tuned, this program will be a very useful tool for you.

PRICE: Free Trial (15 problems fixed.) Pro $29.95 (1-year subscription.)

PROS: This program works well and I didn’t find any bugs at all. My screenshots below show what kind of a difference can be made by using this software.

CONS: Untested on 64-bit (I didn’t try it as my only 64-bit machine is not for testing–it needs to be up 24/7.) Price is a little high, but still great value if you have a need to organize your context menu.

VERDICT: This program does what it says on the box: it organizes your right-click menu and helps you access what you need with ease. The Pro version is reasonably priced, although $20 is always a sweet spot for me with tools like this. I recommend the pro version in support of the developers who’ve worked hard to make this great tool.

PRICE: Free (Pro $26.)
