Top 10 Windows 7 Booster Apps

[zridling]

Lifehacker strikes again with a good start: Top 10 Windows 7 Booster Apps, which include:

• ninite
  
• VistaSwitcher
  
• Ultimate Windows Tweaker
  
• StandaloneStack
  
• Hulu Desktop Integration (Hulu, really?)
  
• WinFox
  
• Gmail Notifier Plus
  
• Windows 7 System Recovery Discs
  
• Logon Changer for Windows 7
  
• CSMenu

To make it easier, will ninite install all of these at once? And one commenter was right: Where the heck is CCleaner!

On my "overrated to the max" list

Really? I love that it empties out histories and browser files and other trash all at the same time.

I dunno. I haven't seen anybody gushing all that much over CCleaner in any of the reviews I've read.

And classifying something as a "Top 10" add-on isn't the same thing as going out and hyping it. Personally, I've found CCleaner to be a handy little app to have - even if I don't take the afternoon off and go 'party' every time a new release comes out.

I find CCleaner to be invaluable in regards to cleaning out all the temp files and directories in one click. Now having said that, that's all I use CCleaner for. I don't use its uninstaller, registry cleaner, or any of the other stuff.

That installer looks awesome! I don't know if I'll use it or not (so many of the programs I use are portable so I just copy the folders).

They got CCleaner into the list, by the way.
