<description><![CDATA[<strong><a href="http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/magic-utilities-2007/#comment-90971" rel="nofollow">Hey, Paulette (#25)</a></strong>
Another good start-up program you could look into is: <strong><a href="http://www.r2.com.au/software.php?page=2&amp;show=startdelay" rel="nofollow">Startup Delayer.</a></strong> I've been using it for quite some time. And if you have a ton of programs that start all at once (raises up my hand. I'm guilty! But I blame GOTD!  Well, partly anyway *lol*), then this puppy is one to consider. 

It starts up with windows, and you can cancel it (shut it down) in the event you changed your mind and you don't want those programs to start. Pause it. So the preprogrammed programs you had set to open, can be put on hold so to speak (until you're ready for them to start, that is). Or skip over a program or programS you had originally set to open at a specific time and get to other apps that you rather have working, instead.

Very simple to use, but also very effective.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I really didn't see a need to download this program.  It appears to be on par with many of the free ones.  Some of the better ones that are free are crap cleaner, Advanced Windows Care Personal and the free version of Glary Utilities.

If you want to pay for one the best I have found is System Mechanic which also includes are very nice defrag utility.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[@frogn (62)...
If it helps at all, I believe that Magic Utilities (as well as ccleaner stc.)reads a lot of info from Windows' Registry. Whatever un-install info is given, is what's stored in the registry by the program during install. I think the main idea with Magic Utilities was to make it friendlier than going to Control Panel &amp; starting up  the add/remove program applet.

RE: start-up programs/processes... About all Windows offers is the option of adding a program to one of 2 keys in the registry, or adding a shortcut to the Startup folder in the Start Menu. Vista offers an option for services to delay autostart. For better or worse that's 'bout it, with no real control over order of startup. I've ever heard of problems from this in a normal home environment, &amp; Magic Utilities isn't skipping something you'd likely find elsewhere. That said, it is possible thru scripting to run more complex startup routines, but AFAIK that's done manually. Again, nothing that can't be done already using Windows' built-in tools -- just maybe easier for some than remembering or figuring out how to access those Windows tools.

FWIW at the top of this page it says: "Magic Utilities makes it easy for anyone." I don't see that it does anything I can't do already. It is however something that I intend to use for less tech users, if for no other reason that it's a lot easier than trying to teach them something they have no interest in. [if you've ever cleaned out another users internet explorer cache, &amp; you found thousands of files, you know what I mean.]]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[BuBBy, with some straightup posts.. nice. 
Maybe some of the ware authors should consider whether their offering is ready, before doing GOTD "releases"?
as for me... other than removing leftover bho's (Symantec!) w/ hijackthis, MS's services.msc and a little googling has done best for snipping bloat...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Hi there,  I wish to give an unbiased opinion  of the software  as an effort to aid the software company with some good feedback. I currently use ccleaner.exe  as  quite a few  do also. It is a very good program but I have 2 hard disks in my system and it appears that  it does not scan/clean both of them. 

This program does not either as far as I can tell and if it does, I know it did not include programs on my second disc in the choices of programs to uninstall menu  item. 

1. Make the program  able to  scan/clean all hard drives and allow uninstall on all harddrives.

The other HUGE  problem I have with its current  usage is when  going through the list of programs I could unistall, there is only very limited  explanation on the program selected.  It will  give basic info, ie: name and if it is possible to uninstall.  I would find it extremely useful to know what  the programs function is before I choice to install or not.  Perhaps that is really a big ask .. but $40  is a big ask for most people today as well. 

Because there truly are very good free products on the market that compare and exceed this product, I feel if you went the extra mile, and gave the detailed program info as described above, it would cause your product to stand above the others and thereby  substantiate the asking price.  I know many people that do not  understand 90% of what their computers do and how or what programs do them.  Most of your buyers are in this category and would swear by  a product that could  help them in making <b>informed </b>choices  offered in the software package.  

2. Provide more complete information on programs to aid consumer with unistalll utility. 

Next was the extremely limited start up utility. My goodness we are at bare bones here!! 

3. Allow start up programs to be edited for load sequence and allow addition of  new programs to the current entries starting on consumer computers.

Another suggestion would be to include various degrees of  secure deletion/shredding. This  program does not give any.

4. Give a choice of leveled security shredding to the program.

The program is graphically nice looking and clean.  However in light of the  aforementioned reasons I could not recommend this product without seeing  much improvement.   

I hope you find this feedback useful and I would like to thank giveawayoftheday for the opportunity to download programs like these. xx]]></description>
