RegSeeker Registry inspector/cleaner

OK, I'm very impressed with this freeware tool called Regseeker

Apart from cleaning the registry (after backing it up) it also allows you to view the history of Internet Explorer, Open files (from the Common Dialog), Used programs (used in windows to dictate which "Personalised" menus to show on the start menu.

Also has a useful tweaks section that contains lots of the usual tweaks I would use, such as adding "Command prompt here" and open in notepad to the context menu and increasing the symultaneous download limit in IE to more that 4 at a time.

It also knows the format of the hidden index.dat IE cache file which contains all sites visited and is NOT cleared when you clear down the IE history. This was a project I was considering doing at one stage but couldn't figure out the binary file format. These guys seem to have cracked it.

Anyway URL for download is
