Default TuneUp Utilities

I recently downloaded and installed TuneUp Utilities2006 I have a question
and a problem.
Are these softwares really effective?Do they
really speed up computer performance by 300% as they claim?
When I ran the software,it found that my
registry is highly fragmented,however it could not rectify this problem as
it could not find"SCANREGW" I think this is a Win.98 application.Where can I
download it?Should I go thru the trouble?(of downloading scanregw and
defragmenting my registry)I have installed Scandefrag as suggested by an
expert in this group.

I have no knowledge of "TuneUp Utilities2006" however in answer to your
question:
"Do they really speed up computer performance by 300% as they claim?"
I suspect their copywriter lives in a fantasy world and previously worked
for one of those internet spam companies selling sex aids.

SCANREGW is part of Win Me and is located in the Windows folder. Scanregw
is the Windows version of the DOS scanreg and is the Registry Checker
Tool. For details of scanreg/scanregw and the various switches that can
be used with this tool see MS KB 184023 - "Command-Line Switches for the
Registry Checker Tool" (http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=184023).

Scanregw.exe is contained in Precopy1.CAB of the Win Me cab set. This cab
file can be found in either the Win9x folder on a Win Me CD or in either
the C:\Windows\Options\Cabs or Windows\Options\Install folder. Double
click on the cab file, select scanregw.exe and drag a copy to your windows
folder.

My Dear Mike,
I dragged scanregw to my Windows folder from the
Cab.file.Registry defrag completed successfully.Believe it or not,there is a
perceptible improvement in speed.So these softwares do work.
Noel Paton,"Oops",MikeM,I thank you all for
being there.

Mike gets the credit - I was about to respond to your off-group email when I
thought 'maybe Mike has a better response'!!

You may be seeing a quicker response to your commands simply because you've
run SCANREG and rebuilt the registry without all the dross within it -
simply putting SCANREGW where it belongs is extremely unlikely to have
changed anything significant.
