Good registry cleaner?

[bcoupland]

I regularly defrag, virus scan, run adaware, and delete temporary internet files, but I have heard that cleaning the registry is a good thing to do. If so, what is a good, reputable, free, cleaner? Thanks.

I use www.tune-up.com, its free for only 30 days though... best tuneup utility, made my computer run just like new after 3 years that i bought it.

I use http://www.worldstart.com/week...rograms/regcleaner.exeRegCleaner This thing's loaded with features, and it's free.

If you decide to use this, I suggest the following settings:
Options - Registry Cleanup - Automatic (check)
Options - Registry Cleanup - OLE Cleaner - Extra Powerful (check)
Tools - Registry Cleanup - Do Them All (sit back and relax)

My dad bought the full version, he loves it. It got rid of a lot of problems he was having with his system

Did you check the free program threads (and reg cleaner threads) in the Software forum?

I use norton system works.

I just reinstall my OS whenever it gets bogged down.

I use Norton systemWorks from time to time.
