New (3.0.73), greatly enhanced SKTools out!

SKTools is without doubt the best all-in-one generic system maintenance tool for the Pocket PC. However much there indeed are other programs clearly better in some of the areas (for example, backing up or registry tweaking (Tweaks2k2).)
The new, 3.0.73 version, which has just been released, is available here for WM2003, WM2003SE and WM5 devices. It's, of course, a free upgrade (as will be all future SKTools versions) to registered SKTools customers.
Since the last version (review here), a lot of new features have been added and old features extended - features I really missed from the previous version (or, for that matter, any other Pocket PC maintenance application):
New:
- Registry optimization (WM5 only)
- Messaging Files option
- "Show SIM items" tweak
- "Decode HTML messages" tweak
Modified/extended:
- "Delete PIM data": now possible delete Messaging data (messages) – really welcome. Hope it’s something like CleanMail by the FlexMail folks
- "Windows Startup": now possible delete services – also welcome – see the Safe Mode Bible on the meaning of this
- "Databases": added EDB bases export to xml – probably the most welcome feature. This means you’ll be able to directly export all your contacts / appointments / tasks to an XML file, as could you do under pre-WM5 operating systems all the time with both SKTools and other WinCE database access tools like Pocket dbExplorer. This has really been missing from under WM5.
- "System information": extended information about the battery
- "Invalid Registry Entries": find and delete also empty keys
- French, Spanish, Italian UI added
Other:
- some small fixes
- File open dialog: added "new folder", "rename" commands
I've added some comments in italics.)
Also note they offer a 10% discount to all their (commercial) programs right now; see this for more info.
(Sorry for not writing an all-in-one review / tutorial on the new features. I'm very busy now with real-life work - if you think you can help me with some thin client-related questions, you can check out this )
