Windows Optimum
There are a dime a dozen Windows optimizing utilities out there, so what's so different about Windows Optimum? Well nothing really, it's just got a purple window!
On a serious note, Windows Optimum is made by the same folks who've brought the useful USB Firewall utility. It gives you more control over Windows and all the underlying myriad processes and services. 
With
this application you can stop any type of program or service in your
system, remove keys or values from applications in the registry or
other parameters. You can also delete keys and values in the registry,
even if access is not permitted, and even if you're not the
administrator, without much technical knowledge of the computer.
The
really cool part is that you can remove any file in your computer, even
if the file is in use. If the file deletion is not possible, the file
is deleted from the system even if Windows Optimum is not running.
Hurray NO "Access denied" or "Another application is using the file"
errors.
Of course this program is not for novices and isn't
recommended for them either. The program gives more control over the
operating system than is necessary for an average user. But it can be
of great help to an admin who needs to troubleshoot or just make the
system leaner.
