    As always, looking for your picks to add to the top freeware picks. I have a handful to add this weekend, but without asking the informed, like yourself, I would surely miss a few gems:

    Mozbackup @MG
    System Cleanup 1.5 @MG
    Easy Cleaner @MG
    Auslogics Registry Defrag @MG
    Microsoft Office PowerPointViewer 2007

    Love all of the above, especially System Cleanup since it always finds stuff that other software didn't. But don't take me seriously, I'm just a newbie. :wave

    Prefer we stick to freeware and programs listed here. Shareware and not listed programs are not relevant. Were looking to update the top freeware list, not add 20 programs. We do that every day, you can mail me suggestions for programs to add to MG, but not relevant here.

    The registry hasn't significantly changed for XP in that time.

    Lack of need of updates= no problem.

    I have it setup to backup my Registry on the first bootup of each day. Gives great peace of mind to have a really recent backup.

    You have to remember to go to C:\Windows\ERDNT\AutoBackup occasionally to remove older Registry Backups as they build up over time. I always keep the most recent 2.

    Thanks guys, added more from your suggestions. Downside is I did not get to mine, nor have time to consider all the ones we do have listed. At this time, were not adding any tree or graph programs of the hard drive and a few other types listed due to mainly category limitations, something we hope to address soon!
