I use to use RegClean and Easy Cleaner when I ran Windows 98. Are these
safe to use with Windows XP or can you recommend a different cleaner.
Thanks.

No! Use a program that was designed for use with Windows XP,
such as System Mechanic (www.iolo.com).=20

Those two apps may cause you grief. I suggest this freeware RegCleaner

In a comprehensive test of registry cleaners RegCleaner was almost alone in
finding ALL the invalid items and NONE of the valid ones ( ie calling valid
invalid). System Mechanic was a disaster

The one I use is "JV16" which is written for XP. The only problem it has
given me is with an E-mail program called "Incredimail XE".
