Excellent program! :-) For those who are interested in Piriform portable apps (Ccleaner, Defraggler, Speccy and Recuva), I've built a small batch using iopus file downloader and 7zip, which automatically downloads and updates them. Works like a charm :-)

xp-AntiSpy is allows you to easily enable/disable usually unnecessary or undesirable Windows features (e.g. Messenger, Media Player's automatic codec download, language bar (ctfmon.exe), etc.). As the name suggests, the program was originally focused on preventing privacy-sensitive elements, but has expanded to many others, including enabling some hidden features likea command-line prompt in context menu, and an increase in the maximum number of half-opened TCP connections (helpful for P2P applications).

@anoncow: yes, both write to the registry. Seconfig is a bit more strict in some areas, while xp-Antispy has a little more flexibility in its controls.
