realy needs a good rewrite. eg. UnloadDLL tip is useless for WindowsXP, this only works for win9x/NT4.0 system

.
Or Bootvis, M$ stopped supporting this tool for a reason, it CAN kill windows ... even a fresh install and I know what I'm talking about.
Or, the prefetch swith doesn't work either ... it only gives the idea that it works faster, or brains are tricked easily ...
