Registry Cleaners

[Bec]

I didn't want to hijack the Norton/antivirus thread, so asking what you guys use (if anything) to handle your computer registry? Ages ago I was using the Norton, as so many of us did, and realized it was creating more problems than it was fixing. Since then, I haven't used any sort of registry cleaner/manager .... Any suggestions??

Thanks Craig --- that new Desktop Mechanic looks promising!

The tools do a nice deep cleaning. They run smooth and the interface is simple to follow.

Thanks Lee -- I fetched the trial, and will compare it to the one Craig suggested.

I haven't tried the other two mentioned. Only RegSupreme. http://www.macecraft.com/regsupremepro/ I've read to only use the basic scan when it asks and not the agressive option, but I always wonder what would happen...

I am too chicken even think of trying that task ... :chicken:

It is not so scary...the one I use makes a backup prior to changing so you can easily restore the prior version in case something goes wrong.

Same. If this is not an option in the program, you honestly shouldn't be using the program.

I absolutely agree ... and thanks to everyone who offered up a suggestion so far!
