Crap Cleaner (CCcleaner) is free and a great program.

I'd agree with lifehacker here. And no need for the double threads so I deleted the other one.

I use crap cleaner.

But I also like to check the integrity of my windows files so I also click run and type sfc /scannow from time to time too.

I've used crapcleaner for awhile.I recently started using regseeker also.It finds stuff crap cleaner misses and vice versa.I've used a lot of different registry cleaners for the learning experience and I've screwed my registry up enough times that I have settled on this combo as the safest,easiest and best for me.I run Tuneup utilities also and it has a registry cleaning feature but unfortunately it is not free
oh woe is me

Any p2p network will have free ones. Regmechanic is the popular one, and i use it.

I thought everything on p2p networks was free, even viruses.

I think Crap Cleaner is the best out there

BUUUUTTTT

Once you start messing with your registry...you are getting close to a full reload of windows.

Thats just my opinion...from my experience.

You should be ok if you make regular registry backups.

I was just reminded of this thread and came back to add something.On an XP machine that is exactly one month old (OS install date 1-21-06),has never had regseeker run on it and has been used only moderately I first ran tuneup2006,then crapcleaner.After I removed all those results I ran regseeker and got a whopping 209 items!
Even I am surprised at that.

Ahahah you kill me some times, youre pretty funny when you want to be, in a less obvious way.


Why dont you throw format c: in there as well?

People who have to ASK for a free registry editor, prob shouldnt actually BE in the registry.

be careful with CCleaner....I messed a 98se install up REAL good by goofing around with it.... do some homework on editing the registry before you try anything on it....

Tech TV recently said not to use Registry Cleaners, as they do not make any noticable difference (They did tests) and cause many problems.

Just do a registry backup before you fix your registry. CCleaner allows you to do this.

OMFG you really listen to everything they say on TechTv? If you know what youre doing you wont mess up. And registry cleaners make a huge difference, those people are full of it. Many uninstallations are uncomplete and if there is a problem in the registry many reinstalations dont fix it if you dont use a Registry clener.

Registry Mechanic is good and finds issues CCleaner dosent but CCleaner is much faster. I use them both.
