Decent registry cleaners?

[Teki187]

Any recommendations would be great thanks.

Tried Registry mechanic and it seems to do a deep scan for nearly 2 hours on a section called wownode3024 or something.

Cheers

ccleaner is very good, it also cleans temp files and other rubbish.

CCleaner & Regseeker are good, also have a look at the Registry/(Unwanted) Data Removel Software section...

I have always been very careful when using regisrty cleaners, I have often had to fix machines where registry keys have been deleted that are actually needed and results in system instability and BSODs.

I'm not saying don't use them, just make sure you have registry backups before you do anything. I know CCleaner is supposed to do this by defualt, but I have encountered corrupted backups and other issues that have caused no end of problems.

I'm not sure how much your system benefits from a reg cleaner anyway. I used to use them but never really noticed a difference.
