hi pw, you know, when you first started this post about a utility that cleans up unused .dlls, i really thought you were referring to norton cleansweep. but i recall you having just posted that you don't use the other features of systemworks, just speed disk (i think it was). i also seem to recall that you have version 1.0. permit me to share with you some brief info on the cleansing capabilities of norton cleansweep2000 (v4.7), also bundled inside systemworks2000 (v3.0).... these features, btw, exist inside the previous v2.0 also. cleansweep's 'advanced' category (not cleanup, internet or programs tools) allows a user to perform 5 basic functions: 1) registry sweep (unused entries) 2) duplicate file finder 3) redundant DLL finder (duplicate DLL & VBX files) 4) unused file types (files not often used, you pick the time-frame) 5) orphan finder (files and items left behind by programs) all of these cleanups can be set to produce backups (in condensed files to save space) so that a user can easily retrieve (using a restore wizard) any cleaned file. users can tell cleansweep when to remind them about the backups (30 days is default, i believe) in case they want to delete them at that time. these above described functions are only the advanced cleanup stuff. cleansweep also does internet cleaning of cache and cookies, and it has archive, move and transport wizards. plus it is known for its thorough (though gottfried says not always that thorough) uninstaller, and something i really like... its monitoring of all installs. to top it off, cleansweep is just one of five components in the norton suite, although i'll admit that one (crashguard) is weak. bottom line.... .dll hell is under control over here with systemworks. :) mark
