I have a lot, and I mean a lot of third-party freebies on here, and sometimes, we need a little reminder to periodically check them for their version numbers. If you aren't sure where to do that, go into the program, and then on the title bar or whatever, look for either the 'Help' or 'About' button. One of those will show you a drop-down menu which will include an item that displays what you're after, as long as what you're after isn't sex, drugs, or rock & roll. Those are all found elsewhere on the web.
Today, I stumbled onto the info that two of my favourite 'cleaner-upper' programs have recently been updated to new versions. So if you're using either or both of 'Glary Utilities' or 'Wise Registry Cleaner' ( and you should!) then please get their latest versions. Speaking of using both of these, I've found that whatever one of them misses, the other one usually catches, and between the two of them, you're fairly well assured of having found all the empty registry keys, or keys to nowhere left behind when stuff was uninstalled. The Glary Utilities one is also very handy for finding other problems and fixing them too. These are basically one-click cures for your operating system's registry and filing system, and they don't do things that they shouldn't, so you shouldn't worry about the blue screen of death. These are both quite well-designed programs, and they work nicely if you just let them do their own thing and accept what they tell you.
