Registry Program

What's a good registry cleaner, if any, especially if it doesn't delete the good ones?

I've been using RegCleaner for a long time on different systems without ever seeing a problem! That's a freeware you download at http://www.majorgeeks.com/RegCleaner_d460.html

This one works on 95 up! CCleaner also is a freeware with a builtin cleaner. But you have to watch what files it wants to delete if you let it scan the drive for junk. It goes after anything unattached! You can find that at http://www.ccleaner.com/

I have used Eusing Free Registry Cleaner for about 4 months and love it, it also catches a lot more than CCleaner.

Regseeker is a famous registry cleaner and editor.

I use Registry Mechanic.

It seems we all use different programs for the same thing...

I ran Registry Mechanic briefly until it became a problem with other programs. RegCleaner opens up as a window to display the programs other then MS installed. If you have one specific program to remove and know the keys to look for you can usually see them displayed there. Otherwise you go upto the menu and click on "tools". There you drop to the registry cleaner link for the menu that opens to the right and choose the "do them all" option. It runs quietly and quickly. Others autoload with Windows.

I went and tried regcleaner and I really liked..... I like how it shows each registry and displays a description of each one, where you can pick and chose which registrys to delete, rather the, say, a scan or search...... Regseeker is only useful if you know exactly what programs you want to delete and you have to use right after you delete something......

RegCleaner has been a great one for some time on older versions of Windows like cleaning things on 98 as well. What it offers is no autoloading with Windows, a desktop shortcut, and best of all not intrusive like Registry Mechanic and others where you have to upgrade to the retail version as well as the autoloading. It was certainly well written.

CCleaner as well as the RegCleaner is a good freeware for not only performing a registry but drive cleanup as well. http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/

RegCleaner goes on easy and works on all versions of Windows. It opens right up to a main windows for choosing reg keys you want to remove manually. http://www.majorgeeks.com/RegCleaner_d460.html

I'll agree with PC Eye here, regcleaner is suberb, however I use another program called RegDoctor, and that's great.

RegCleaner doesn't create any of it's own values in the registry while others like RegMechanic install into new folders and create new keys. The freeware found at the links posted earlier simply creates a desktop shortcut making it far less intrusive then others that could even see a bad install? This one you can simply delete the shortcut and drag the folder it's in right to the recycle bin. But then it doesn't see the problems others do.
