http://www.ccleaner.com/ is widely recommended as well.

erm ccleaner rox0r

CCleaner isn't primarily a registry cleaner, though it does some cleaning.

The first "C" stands for cr*p....

RegCleaner is a good one, you can get it from Camieabz's (of AG fame $:-\$ ) site- http://www.camieabz.co.uk/util/regclean.htm or Google for it.

RegSupreme is excellent value at $12.95.

I personally would'nt use any, but especially CCleaner - id say most users of one of these will get a nasty suprise when it makes a total mess of their registry!

It would make sense to take a registry backup first, before doing anything to it...

Yeh..i forgot that bit last time though

Bill · Sep 07, 2006, 09:54:52

Yup, been there.... got away with it fortunately!

i think they are extremely useful - if you can be bothered to have a quick check at wot its deleting

i havent had any problems with cr*p cleaner so i can recommend that

also

try regscrubxp, a favourite amongst the community

got cash? tuneup utilities 2006 includes one (and other cool tools) but at a price

registry mechanic is also good

but the one thing that makes these programs work is common sense

I find RegSeeker does a good job.

stevelondon · Nov 13, 2006, 22:37:43

I use CC Cleaner and esuing, eusing automatically backs up ya registry . this is a snapshot of me brain if you can find a cleaner for this ide be grateful

MoHux · Nov 14, 2006, 01:33:41

Rik · Nov 14, 2006, 09:21:53

Actually, I think he stole that from my EKG!

ou7shined · Nov 16, 2006, 23:30:44

Ouch! I just set that as my desktop. I think I'm having an eppy!

Rik · Nov 17, 2006, 00:23:14

Yellow on white just doesn't work.

maxping · Nov 17, 2006, 00:47:26

Yea whats a "eopy"

Rik · Nov 17, 2006, 00:53:26

It's a lichen. (Seriously...)

ou7shined · Nov 17, 2006, 01:05:55

Yeah yeah very funny. I wish I could fix it fer yiz but I see no edit button. Just left click 'n' highlight for now.

Rik · Nov 17, 2006, 01:20:49

The edit button works in mysterious ways. Initially, for a short while, you can edit without the post being marked as edited. Then, for a while you can edit and the post is marked as edited, then it disappears completely. I haven't worked out the timings yet.

And it is a lichen for those who see an o rather than a p! Me, I saw the p...

ou7shined · Nov 17, 2006, 01:31:40

Ah, thanks for the explanation.

Who knows though? I might have been having some lichen. I am a vegy after all.

Rik · Nov 17, 2006, 01:34:11

I'm a veggie too - it's the name that does it.
