I need a good password recovery utility. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Hi Bill,

You didn't mention what types of passwords you need to recover. Here's a great site that specializes in freeware password recovery. Hopefully one of Nirsoft's apps will work for you.

Hi Cliff

thank you for the great newsletter. I always look forward to it. I know that I am not entitled to support because I obtained Bufferzone form "giveawayof theday". I removed the software using its own undelete after a few days because it slowed down the computer and I couldn't play videos. It left me with a directory "virtual" and subdirectory "untrusted" on my C drive which I have emptied but cannot delete and two entries in my Win XP registry, "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTZbVirtualFolder.ZbVirtualFolder
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTZbVirtualFolder.ZbVirtualFolder.1
which I can't remove. I hope that someone will be able to help to remove these items.

Best Regards

Geoff

Hi Geoff,

I would try to remove those folder with this tool called Unlocker.

The registry entries can be removed by hand or with a utility such as Startup Inspecter

Have fun!

Clif,

Regarding those file recovery program you mentioned, I have been using PC Inspector and wondering if there is one of the 10 you would recommend; I don't want to try all 10 or even a couple to just find out that they are not that much better than PC Inspector.

As always thanks for your great newsletter and for your expert help.

Hi Brian,

I so rarely need to use file recovery programs that I can't give you a goood answer.

I believe the one you are using is one of the best. No need to look any further if you are happy with it.

Have fun.

Clif,

Thanks for that information. I will stick with the PC Inspector and save a lot of time by not evaluating other programs.

Thanks once again for your advise.
