I've used Norton's WinDoctor and Otimization Wizard on Win95 and Win98 with
excellent results. WinDoctor cleaned-up 1.5 MB of a 6 MB registry that had
not been cleaned in 4 years. The Optimization Wizard then squeezed out 1.5
MB of unused space. Both programs are easy to use, clearly explain what is
being cleaned, and allow you to easily undo any changes.
