Best freeware Reg Cleaner??

alex350r · 19 May 2008 at 16:26

Hi,

Currently im using CCleaner to clean my registry/temp files etc. I swear by it and I think its an awesome app, however I sometimes get the impression that it doesn't quite clean the registry very well.

I'd like to find an app that cleans all the unused keys out left by old program/game installs.

What is the best free registry cleaner in other peoples opinions?

Cheers

I've used "Advanced Windowscare" this past year and seems to do the trick nicely.

Regseeker did all sorts of weird things to my PC. Some apps wouldn't load, some were back to having no registration/serial, some things wouldn't load at all.... Weird.

I've used CCleaner since it was a newborn, but I do also now use RegistryBooster 2 which found hundreds of extra invalid reg keys on first run, but more importantly didn't mess up my system

I used regseeker on a pervious installation and it *found* loads of stuff to delete - far too much for me to go in and see what I should and shouldn't delete. It missed up my installation. I'd just use Ccleaner and it's probably worth just reinstalling everynow and again. My Vista Premium installation barely takes half an afternoon now...

Just because regseeker is an epic fail, doesn't mean they're all bad

Try RegistryBooster2 as above.
