REGISTRY DEFRAG
During the normal operation of a Windows system, registry data is constantly being written to and removed from the registry. Over time this data becomes scattered within the registry file and when information is deleted from the registry holes are left which fragment the data within the registry. Registry compacting optimizes your registry by removing gaps and wasted space, thus improves the whole system performance.

Styler
This application allows you to do a lot of interesting customizations, though it is not easy to use at first.
It can add a drop shadow to your windows, change Clear Type contrast, change a visual style’s color or a wallpaper’s and much more . But its most useful function is located in the “Styler Toolbar” which can entirely change the look and feel of the Windows XP’s toolbar. So, you can change your toolbar to make it look like Windows Vista’s.
Styler doesn’t use much memory (less than 1MB when it’s used in the background), but to use all its function, especially for the drop shadow, you’ll need a powerful computer.
