NO - does it offer to save (for recovery) all the to-be-deleted entries? NO To cap it all, it makes a noise like a broken down washing machine (while deleting) which makes the experience very jarring. (OK, this can be switched off somewhere.)

ShellRunAs http://www.downloadsquad.com/2008/02/28/shellrunas-v1-0-add-run-as-different-user-option-to-right-cli/ http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/cc300361.aspx The command-line Runas utility is handy for launching programs under different accounts, but it's not convenient if you're a heavy Explorer user. ShellRunas provides functionality similar to that of Runas to launch programs as a different user via a convenient shell context-menu entry.

The "new" version dates from 2006. I used this many years on my WindowsXP. (and what nagscreen?) Cleanup shows what will be deleted. It was always very reliable and did what I expected. (it is better than CCleaner.) But it does not work on my Vista 64-bit, so I have to use CCleaner for now. :-( -- Fred W. (NL)
