Best registry cleaner for XP?

[Fremt]

There seem to be a ton of them. Are there any gold-standards?

Many of these programs are too aggressive and you can get yourself in
trouble with them. I like RegSeeker and I believe it is the best and
safest. It is relatively gentle, but thorough. When it does a scan it
lists in green, entries which can be safely deleted; and it lists in
red entries which appear to be redundant, but which should be removed
with more caution. It does automatic backups and you can quickly
restore any deleted entries which you need after all. When doing a
scan, you can also exclude specific entries from future consideration
by right clicking and selecting "exclude"

I second regseeker.

Some others had caused me trouble in the past, but regseeker has been
the best so far.
