Back in the days of win98, I would have recommended Norton. But, as you are
already aware, the Norton Utilities for XP really do not do much more than
the built-in Microsoft utilities. Symantec appears to be pushing anti-virus
and firewalls over basic utilities. Too bad, for us users.
I have NOT found any one utility that does it all.
However, I can recommend the following:
CCleaner (free) http://www.ccleaner.com/
CleanCache (free) http://www.buttuglysoftware.com/ do not be put off
by the name of the website, this is good software
FreshUI (free) http://www.freshdevices.com
Fresh Diagnose http://www.freshdevices.com
ERUNT (free) http://www.larshederer.homepage.t-online.de/erunt/ registry
backup/restore; also comes with a registry compressor, but not a cleaner
WinRescueXP (registry and profile backup/restore; not free)
http://www.superwin.com/index.htm
RegVac (not free) http://www.superwin.com/index.htm registry cleaner
and compressor
PerfectDisk (defragger; not free) http://www.raxco.com/ organizes
files by date, so once defragged, files tend to stay defragged, unless
replaced. After first run, is much faster than XP, Norton, or Diskeeper.
Also does boot-time defrag of directoreis and pagefile and MFT.

Can anyone recommend a good WinXP utility that does things like delete
junk files, chkdsk, clean registry, defrag, etc? WinXP has most/all of
these utilities available, but it would be nice to have them all collected
under one interface. (I am not a fan of Symantec.) I currently have Ace
Utilities, which does some but not all of the handy stuff.
Thanks for any suggestions, jimbo
