Recuva recovers your lost files

Here's a free, easy to use undelete and file recover tool called Recuva. And from the same company that provides my favourite cleanup program CCleaner.

When you delete a file, the contents of that file are not usually overwritten or removed straight away. The space used by that file is marked as "available" so that it can be used the next time data is written to your hard drive.

As long as your old data is not overwritten by something new, there's a good chance you can recover the file.

This is where utilities like Recuva come in. They can scan the available space and the control information on the hard disk to identify files that might be recoverable.

If you are looking for a good undelete and file recovery tool look no further than Recuva. I've certainly added it to my computer repair kit.

RegScrubXP

Another free registry cleaner is RegScrubXP. This is a very popular utility designed to delete unnecessary information from the System Registry of Windows 2000 & Windows XP operating systems. This "junk" is often left behind when programs are uninstalled, and the information is not needed anymore. Programmers mistakenly load the Registry with junk as well. The result of cleaning out the junk is a smaller, faster Registry. Because your operating system accesses the Registry a lot, keeping it clean is an essential 'housekeeping' step.
