What's new in version 2.0 RC2.1 (March 04 1998): - Well, this is the "Real" RC2. I packed the wrong EXE file, and since I left the office for a 5 day business trip I only spotted the problem after got back. I'm very sorry about this. This "new" version should correct the ' ":" is not a valid integer value' bug. What's new in version 2.0 RC2 (Feb 25 1998): - Fixed the ' ":" is not a valid integer value' bug. - New options in the "Scan Directories" Tab.

It's now easier to copy any error that might occur in order to send to the author. - System Cleaner 2000 now saves the tab position before it exits.

What's new in version 2.0 RC1 (Feb 22 1998): - Completely redesigned interface. - Scan for Duplicate Files (NOTE: Only delete a duplicate file if you are sure it will not be needed by any application, or if the same file is on the windows system directory). - Ability to add or remove file types to the Temporary Files to be scanned. - Add/Remove/Edit The Items you have on your Uninstall Programs list. - Backup temporary/duplicate files to a ZIP file. - Added an "Advanced Tab" to the Temporary Files and Duplicate Files to allow a much more powerful search.

This utility allows you to see exactly how much disk space is lost because of cluster size. - Improved the Scheduler. - Added a small applet called "System Cleaner 2000 Scheduler" that sits on the tray area and only loads the main application when it's time to run a scheduled task.

What's new in version 1.11 (December 05 1997): - I had received some reports of people getting errors when try to open SystemCleaner.exe.
