Registry cleaner ?
 
Kim Komando's tip of the day (07 Jan) has good words for
Microcraft's jv Power tools for cleaning the registry. I
believe it's freeware.

Has anyone used this program? Do you have any remarks or
recomendations?

Don't bother with these utterly useless registry cleaners, they cause
more harm than good.

Would you clean your registry manually?
Would you use such a cleaning tool and verify each entry it found and wanted
to remove manually before removing it?

Do NOT use so-called Registry Cleaners !


Never used the Komando program.

So-called maybe bad, but legitimate, known reliable registry cleaners are a
godsend sometimes and worst case do nothing to help the user. If you need
free, although I've never heard of it, MS's tool might be worth trying but
remember how MS puts out buggy softwareg.

Ccleaner is one that's good for newbies to use; user friendly and so on.
Only other ones I use are pay-for but excellent programs.
Beware unknown cleaners; some are nothing but malware. Research or ask as
you've done here before using them.

One thing to keep in mind is the reason for running a cleaner and expecting
results you won't get. Most problems are not a result of the registry;
depends on a lot of things.

Often you'll find excellent advice on a newsgroup.
Before you use that advice though, consider the
ramifications of it being wrong or even dangerous;
how important IS that to you?
ALWAYS verify and confirm ANY advice from a
newsgroup!

Would you clean your registry manually?


I do and have many times.

That is SOME sentence ;-)

JV16 does an amazing job and tells you exactly WHY something
"can go" and it's up to you, It also makes backups - which I
have NEVER needed to use.

Generally, after using my 4 reg cleaners (I only do it once in a
while, like before making an image of C:) I DO manually clean
stuff because NOTHING will do EVERYTHING.

The reg cleaners just make the job faster and more thorough
since they will look through everything, like the entire HKCR
tree, something I have NO patience for.
