I've been using Eraser for a while but used EE (the bad one ;-)
since I couldn't find a way to wipe registry stuff.

Yes, they are great, I'm now using contig and pagedefrag, great apps,
no need to buy norton or similar software.

Many thanks, you've just helped me a lot on my way to reduce the
cost of using Windows!
