Given the sheer number of utilities and their individual options, we feel a printed manual is essential to Iolo System Mechanic 5.0 Professional. SM5P lets you defragment any or all of these, plus applications, at your next bootup or during all successive bootups. Typically, all three are heavily modified by the Windows NT/2000/XP operating system regularly, leading over time to performance degradation. These include the Registry hives, the page file, and the MFT (Master File Table). By working at boot time, before Windows loads, this utility defragments system files that are normally out of reach. We also like the new boot-time defragmenter, which supplements rather than replaces SM5P's Disk Defragmentation Wizard. Each action and transaction is documented in full detail, so you know ahead of time exactly what you're undoing. SafetyNet allows the reversal of any number of single actions or transaction sets-groups of actions performed using one tool.

The undo actions are stored in a database with location and archive size.

But even if you were to run into problems with Relocator, there's another new SM5P tool, SafetyNet, which is a multilevel undo for all of SM5P's tool actions. In several tests, Relocator never failed us.

Program Relocator allows you to move programs to a different folder or drive, simultaneously updating links, shortcuts, and configuration data. Three of Iolo System Mechanic 5.0 Professional's new utilities are truly impressive. Highlighting any tool with your mouse displays a brief but helpful explanation at the bottom of the screen. Click any of the six main tool-group tabs (Clean, Fix, Maintain, Optimize, Protect, 1-2-3 Options) along the left-hand side to display its tools. Running SM5P is a snap its interface is both clean and intuitive. After installation, SM5P consumes a mere 60MB of hard drive space-roughly one-quarter the footprint of Norton SystemWorks 2005 Premier. Unlike Norton SystemWorks 2005 Premier, which requires separate installations for its individual apps, SM5P requires just one installation. Instead, you'll have to uninstall SM4P first. Unfortunately, you can't simply apply this 'upgrade' to your current installation.

If you own SM4P, you can upgrade for $39.95. Iolo Technologies also offers a 30-day trial version. You can purchase Iolo System Mechanic 5.0 Professional as a download or a boxed CD either way, the cost is $69.95. We recommend System Mechanic 5.0 Professional over SystemWorks 2005 Premier. Factor in the breadth and depth of what was already there-pop-up-ad prevention, junk-file removal, antivirus and spyware detection and removal, confidential-file protection, memory defragmentation, data recovery, Internet speed optimization, and more-and you have a well-stocked computer-utility package that is worth the investment. The latest version, System Mechanic 5.0 Professional (SM5P), includes a program relocator, a boot-time defragmenter for system files, and an automatic undo function, whose recall is limited only by the space you allocate. While Symantec Norton SystemWorks 2005 Premier inches forward with each new release, Iolo System Mechanic Professional takes large steps.
