Oops, forgot to mention a thing or two:

Requires admin privileges. Creates setupapi.app.log in Windows\INF during run but then removes it.

Tested: Portable

Nice find. I ran DriveCleanup and then USB Oblivion and it still removed some entries.
Translated from Russian using Google Translate:
The utility supports the "quiet" mode using command line parameters:
-enable - Operating treatment, or simulation;
-auto - Automatic start (does not affect the mode of treatment);
-nosave - Cancel conservation. reg-file;
-? - Issuance of certificate.
Tested: Portable << For assurance :mrgreen:

I ran both in test mode and then compared the results. I like DriveCleanup's selective cleaning feature and Oblivion's backup feature.

As donald asked if I could vote for the entry, so I wanted to test again to make sure nothing had changed.
