Glary Utilities Pro has several modules divided into 5 categories, Clean Up & Repair, Optimize & Improve, Privacy & Security, Files & Folders and System Tools.

Let’s take a look at few of the best modules available in each of these categories.

Uninstall Manager: As a blogger I install and test at least 5-7 new softwares every single day. That means I have to uninstall each one of the softwares one by one to keep the computer clean. This uninstall manager lets me uninstall a group of softwares using the “Batch Uninstall” feature at once instead of uninstalling them one by one. This saves a lot of time.

Registry Cleaner: Is one of the best tools you can use to optimize your machine for speed. As registry grows it encounters corrupt entries in the process which results in speed compromise. The registry cleaner scans for corrupt entries and fixes them.

Startup Manager: Having lesser programs in the startup menu result in quicker computer restarts. This is another powerful tool that helps you choose which programs stay in the Startup menu and which do not. Startup Manager also lets you put a timer on the items in the Startup menu and delay their launch according to your convenience.

If you are not sure of any particular software in the startup menu, a rating column shows what other users think about it, which will help you make your decision. Color red on the bar means that someone thought it was influencing computer performance or it was alright to disable it from the startup menu.

Tracks Eraser: This tool can be useful on machines which have multiple users. It helps you erase your tracks in terms of deleting information from windows, browsers and other plugins. Following is the list of some of the items Tracks Eraser deletes…

• Windows Recent Documents
• Windows Temporary Files
• Start Menu Click History
• IE and Firefox Cache, History, Cookies, Forms, Temporary Internet Files, etc..
• Windows Media Player
• MS Word

Registry Defrag: Defragging the registry is always a good idea. When registry starts occupying more space than it should on the hard disk it starts to slow the computer down. Registry Defrag optimizes the registry by allocating and re-allocating registry space to fill the gaps and recover the wasted space. This exercise improves the boot time of your computer.

File Shredder: This utility deletes files permanently. GlarySoft claims, files once deleted using this utility cannot be recovered by any software.

Duplicate File Finder: Duplicate file finder find files of almost all extensions. It finds duplicate files based on their, size, creation time, file name, etc. This tool can help you free a lot of disk space and better organize your files.

File Splitter and Joiner: Splitter can be of use in situations where huge files are being sent using an e-mail account or online file storage services which have a size limit on file upload.

You can either select from one of the pre-defined sizes or enter a user defined size to split the files.

Overall Glary Utilities Pro scores very high in comparison with other System Maintenance softwares. This is one of the best softwares you can have to run your PC in the top condition.

According to Wikipedia:

The Windows registry is a directory which stores settings and options for the operating system for Microsoft Windows 32-bit versions, 64-bit versions, and Windows Mobile. It contains information and settings for all the hardware, operating system software, most non-operating system software, users, preferences of the PC, etc. Whenever a user makes changes to Control Panel settings, file associations, system policies, or most installed software, the changes are reflected and stored in the registry. The registry also provides a window into the operation of the kernel, exposing runtime information such as performance counters and currently active hardware.
