I'm pretty new to XP.
I hesitate to touch the registry but I have beenadvised it is good to clean it up sometimes. Is that correct? If so,
I want to get a registry cleaner that works well and is easy to use for a beginner.
Does anyone know a useful utility to do this?
I checked on Google but there are so many.
Any advice appreciated. If you know a good free version that would be great.
Thanks
Try Little Registry Cleaner Free and open source
http://sourceforge.net/projects/littlecleaner
Alternative you can try open source Performance maintainer. It cleans registry (Little Registry Cleaner), performs disk clean up (Disk Cleaner) and defragments drive (UltraDefrag) in one go. Same as 1-Click Maintenance in TuneUp Utilities
