I came across a great little free software package today called Revo Uninstaller. This awesome program produces a screen very much like the built-in windows Add/Remove Programs control panel utility but it contains so much more.

2008-01-29_1203 At first glance I wasn’t sure what to expect, except that the website stated all sorts of neat things and I wanted to see them in action! First up, the uninstaller. To your right is a screenshot of the uninstall portion of the program. It lists all your installed programs (as far as I can tell) and easily lets you uninstall a program or just remove an entry. The “remove entry” feature is very useful, I don’t know how many times I’ve had to manually delete a program and had its entry left behind in Add/Remove Programs. Revo solves that problem!

2008-01-29_1206 Also included (still free!) is the junk file cleaner. Seen here, the list of junk files is empty. I would’ve run the scan to give you an idea of what it shows, but the scan takes a while. Revo will offer to delete any of those junk files, and will even inform you if it can’t remove any files due to them being in use by a program or by windows. Very nice.

I’m certain I’ll be using this tool a lot, as it’s already proven useful in the half-hour I’ve had it. If you’d like your own copy, visit the download link below.

Thanks to Kent and his blog for leading me to this software.

    On the download page at the very bottom it says: “Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows Vista 64 bit operating systems are NOT supported”.

    And it has so much potential…
