The best registry cleaner is *no* registry cleaner.

I strongly recommend *against* the use of registry cleaners. Cleaning
of the registry isn't needed and is dangerous. Leave the registry
alone and don't use any registry cleaner. Despite what many people
think, and what vendors of registry cleaning software try to
convince you of, having unused registry entries doesn't really hurt
you.


The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner erroneously
removing an entry you need is far greater than any potential benefit
it may have.

Why do you think you'd ever need to clean your registry? What
specific *problems* are you actually experiencing (not some program's
bogus listing of imaginary problems) that you think can be fixed by
using a registry cleaner?

If you do have a problem that is rooted in the registry, it would
be far better to simply edit (after backing up, of course) only the
specific key(s) and/or value(s) that are causing the problem. After
all, why use a chainsaw when a scalpel will do the job? Additionally,
the manually changing of one or two registry entries is far less likely
to have the dire consequences of allowing an automated product to make
multiple changes simultaneously. The only thing needed to safely clean
your registry is knowledge and Regedit.exe.

The registry contains all of the operating system's "knowledge" of
the computer's hardware devices, installed software, the location of the
device drivers, and the computer's configuration. A misstep in the
registry can have severe consequences. One should not even turning
loose a poorly understood automated "cleaner," unless he is fully
confident that he knows *exactly* what is going to happen as a result of
each and every change.

Having repeatedly seen the results of inexperienced people using
automated registry "cleaners," I can only advise all but the most
experienced computer technicians (and/or hobbyists) to avoid them all.
Experience has shown me that such tools simply are not safe in the hands
of the inexperienced user. If you lack the knowledge and experience to
maintain your registry by yourself, then you also lack the knowledge and
experience to safely configure and use any automated registry cleaner,
no matter how safe they claim to be.

More importantly, no one has ever demonstrated that the use of an
automated registry cleaner, particularly by an untrained, inexperienced
computer user, does any real good, whatsoever. There's certainly been
no empirical evidence offered to demonstrate that the use of such
products to "clean" WinXP's registry improves a computer's performance
or stability. Given the potential for harm, it's just not worth the risk.

Hi Arun,

"CCleaner" is great as a junk cleaner and other things, but it is only
a ok registry cleaner.

Wise makes a couple of free programs that one is a great registry
cleaner, "Wise Registry Cleaner", and the other is like Vista's Disk
Cleanup but better, "Wise Disk Cleaner". Here is the link for them:

Frank.

Hi Everyone,

Here is my two cents on how to be safe with a registry cleaner
program:

Why use a registry cleaner program?
A: To help keep all the left over remnants of a uninstalled program out
of the registry to help prevent future errors and conflicts. Plus, when
Vista loads it reads through the registry. If you keep you registry all
nice and neat and orderly, it will read through it faster and possibly
without any problems.

1. Scanning the registry manually looking for random invalid entries is
not practical. It is only practical if you are looking for invalid
entries for a specific program with the "Find" option.

2. The registry cleaning program can give you a quick list of
"possible" invalid entries that you can then look at in the registry to
confirm whether they are or not invalid entries. Only select the ones
that you know are invalid while leaving the rest that you are unsure
about.

3. Always enable the backup or undo feature of the registry cleaner
program just in case you do accidentally delete a entry from the
registry that you should not have.

As always, use your own judgement. If you so not know what your doing,
then you would most likely be better off leaving this alone.

Hope this helps with your decisions,
Shawn

Hello Arun,

For what did you have the need for cleaning your registry? If you delete
something without knowledge and about the need for the entry you can break
your system. Then maybe you have to reinstall. So why not using it like it
is? If you buy a car you also will not take out some electronic or some devices
from the engine.

Best regards

I agree with most that it is not necessary and requires caution. That said
Alias recommendation works fine and ALWAYS let it backup any entries you are
going to delete. Unless you do a huge amount of installing and uninstalling
of programs I would forget about it.

No. They cause more problems than they solve.
If you can't do it manually, you're likely to mess up your system if you
use a tool.
If you can do it manually, the tool isn't very useful.

Telling people to manually edit their Registry isn't very good advice
for the average user for obvious reasons; doing so can totally trash
your Registry making your computer unbootable. Far safer to use a tool
designed for that purpose.
