CleanUp! 3.0 now available
http://cleanup.stevengould.org/WhatsNew30.html
- includes support for Internet Explorer, Netscape and Opera.
Runs on Windows 95 through Windows XP.
Functionality Improvements:
Added support for removal of user-defined filenames (can use wildcards) from
user-defined directories. This "future-proofs" CleanUp! against browsers
updates and also includes support for any application not implicitly
supported by CleanUp!.
Improved (more secure) file deletion when selecting the "Wipe Clean" option.
CleanUp! now overwrites the file three times with different data, then
renames it 27 times before deleting it.
Deletes all files from the Windows XP "prefetch" directory (Windows XP
only).
Support for the Opera web browser, versions 2.x through 6.x. Cleans up Opera
cache, download files, cookies and (optionally) the bookmarks.
Support for Internet Explorer 5.x and 6.x. Cleans up Internet Explorer 5 and
6 cache, history file, cookies and (optionally) the bookmarks. CleanUp! nows
supports Internet Explorer versions 1 through 6.
Support for Netscape Navigator 6.x. Cleans up Netscape Navigator 6 cache,
history file, cookies and (optionally) the bookmarks.
Multi-user support: optionally, CleanUp! attempts to remove temporary files
for all local users.
More advanced options for Netscape users.
Many under-the-hood changes to provide a better/cleaner implementation of
the main cleaning engine, resulting in a more modular, more reliable and
more flexible CleanUp!.
Improved emptying of recycle bins from all fixed, local drives.
Resets Paint and WordPad Most Recently Used (MRU) lists.
Resets the most recently used (MRU) lists for Search for Computers, Files
and Folders containing text, and Files and Folder names (Windows 2000 and
later).
More complete CleanUp! of various temporary files in the Windows directory.
Optionally deletes *.bak, *.chk, *.tmp, and *~ from each hard drive (not
network drives) when performing a scan for temporary files.
Usability Improvements:
Simpler installation - just run the download file. An additional benefit of
this change was a smaller download file too (less than 300K).
Allowed advanced users to customize the sound played when CleanUp! starts
and when CleanUp! completes.
Added a welcome message to the CleanUp! log window at start-up.
CleanUp! now runs quietly in the background during restart.
Added hyperlinks for the CleanUp! web site, discussion list and my e-mail
address to the About dialog.
Improved and expanded the on-line Help.
Removed references to "The Strangely Green Chicken Co." (never a real
company as such) and replaced with the more serious "stevengould.org".
While not really to do with the CleanUp! program itself, I moved the
CleanUp! web site to a more permanent home
(http://cleanup.stevengould.org/).
Improved and expanded the FAQs on the CleanUp! web site.

I used the earler version CleanUp2 on my Win98 computers.
It was one of the best programs I have come across.
