Advanced Uninstaller Pro 9.4 has nothing to do with photography but it’s still a great program and one I use all the time. It’s basically a little Swiss Army Knife of utilities for the PC which allows you to do the following:

- Windows Vista and Windows XP support
- full support for Internet Explorer 7 and Mozilla Firefox 3
- a brand new and more intuitive Quick Cleaner
- new applications listed in the Quick Cleaner
- an easier way of selecting items
- ability to create “admin mode” shortcuts from the EasyGo Tool Manager on Windows Vista
- improved registry cleaner
- protecting Mozilla Firefox cookies is now possible
- improved Installation Monitor to work with Windows Vista

Some of the key features offered by Advanced Uninstaller PRO are:

- Installation monitor (monitor a program’s setup and uninstall the program completely)
- Startup manager (manage your startup programs)
- Quick Cleaner (erase history traces of Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and over 100 other applications)
- Duplicate files finder (find and delete duplicate files)
- Temporary files cleaner (clean garbage files, protect your privacy and gain disk space)
- Windows Services Manager (apply optimized services profiles to make your computer start and run faster)
- Start Menu Cleaner (find and delete the shortcuts in your Start Menu that don’t work anymore, sort your Start Menu alphabetically, hide Start Menu items, etc)
- a plethora of tools for configuring Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox, including plug-in, BHOSs, ActiveX and toolbar uninstallers, context menu configuration, a cookie cleaner, etc.
- Registry cleaner, defragmenter (optimizer) and backup (all the tools you need to take care of your registry properly)

Not sure what there is to like about the new Adobe Lightroom, well here is a list to help get you started. I’m a huge fan of Lightroom 1.x so I’m hoping to get the new version up and running so I can have a look at the new features.

Adobe’s Lightroom 2.0, which launched today represents a major breakthrough in the field of digital photo processing. I’ve only just begun to play with the software today, but it is clear that Lightroom 2.0 will be my new imaging software of choice. Prior to using Lightroom 2.0 I did my photo processing using Adobe’s Bridge and Photoshop. Lightroom represents a significant leap forward in the power of processing digital photographs. I thought I’d write up a post documenting my 10 new favorite processing tools that Lightroom 2.0 brings to the table.
