Registry Cleaners

[silver hair]

thank you
that was quick
I have been reading a lot, thats way I never used cleaner
I figuerd if Microsoft aproved it, it may be OK
I will read some more. have read similar pages to your link
i use Disk Cleanup often and it works good
I think my Vista has a very good Security System
Firewall and Defender with a good antivirus program
it all works good
but I have sometimes ignored the warning
so I may have cached something that dont show up
its just a bit slower
thanks

Martin I use the Windows Live OneCare Safety Scanner (free) from
Microsoft
(XP) finds additional in-valid registry entries that CCleaner doesn't
remove.
You can also clean your temp files and de-frag from here.
Here is the Vista version :

My subscription is about to expire for Registry Mechanic [PC Tools]
(which
searches for redundant registry files and also will compact my
registry),
and I am hesitating to renew because the existing version doesn't seem
to be
approved by Micosoft for Windows Vista (my OS). Can anyone tell me
please of
a similar app which works well with Vista?

fwiw, I'm another registry cleaner skeptic. I've heard from only one person
who felt that he could make an objective case for a registry cleaner making
speed difference on his machine--and he was a special case: A developer,
who was debugging installer code which created many registry entries with
each test. And I personally have seen negative effects from Microsofts
registry cleaner. I hope they have corrected the issue that I ran into, but
I also think that it is unlikely that this will make a difference on most
machines.
