Registry Cleaner Recommendations

smackedass · Guest

I've never really bothered to use them much, because there are so many of
them out there to choose from, because I'm reluctant to pay for a utility
(or ask a customer to pay for a utility) that carries a single-machine EULA,
and because I plain just don't trust them to work.

Please enlighten me. What registry cleaners have you used that are
worthwhile?

Thanks, in advance,

I have used the registry cleaner included with free CCleaner before without
any issues [usually need to run it twice] but I also really doubt the need
to use a registry cleaner particualry with potential risks involved. When I
work on a problem computer usually I can resolve issues using msconfig,
Autoruns, or even Hijackthis [all of which changes are reversible] such as
for errors where the OS is trying to load a deleted file. I ALWAYS create a
System Restore point first in XP just in case.

I agree with Steve.
I currently service a lot of machines and CCleaner does the job pretty well.
It's light and fairly efficient and more importantly, works with Vista as
well.
I have never had it corrupt or damage a system yet, though I always make
sure to do a XP Restore Point before runing it.
