you are correct
about the performance
of the registry database
file and thousands would
agree as well as Microsoft.

in fact, microsoft invented
the first registry cleaner because
maintaining the database was
as critical then as it is now.

now microsoft certified technicians
not only redeveloped their registry
cleaner but wrote a whole page on
the subject:

http://onecare.live.com/site/en-US/a...leaner_why.htm

isn't humorous how
some believe that they are
more knowledgeable
on windows than
microsoft is???

don't spend too much
time debating the issue.
some of these guys are
habitual antagonist and
disruptive and enjoy
manipulation and a reason
to use name calling.

the facts are clear and
microsoft facts relating
to its registry is the final
word regarding this issue.

(you know that they are
likely hypocrites because
they likely used registry
cleaners themselves)

incidentally, you might
enjoy the newsgroup if
you use a killfile to filter
out the irritations.

That is an absurd claim, cleaning the registry does not improve performance.

I've run tests on several machines and CCleaner's Registry Cleaner has
improved performance on nine of them -- as compared to exactly identical
machines without CCleaner.

CCleaner is safe as a Registry Cleaner....

CCleaner's registry scanner seems relatively benign, as long as you step
through each detected "issue" one at a time, to determine if it really is
an "issue" or not, and then decide whether or not to let the application
"fix" it. In my testing, though, most of the reported "issues" won't be
issues, at all. I tried the latest version on a brand-new OS installation
with no additional applications installed, and certainly none installed and
then uninstalled, and CCleaner still managed to "find" over a hundred
allegedly orphaned registry entries and dozens of purportedly "suspicious"
files.

CCleaner's sole strength, and the only reason I use it, lies in its
usefulness for cleaning up unused temporary files from the hard drive; as a
registry "cleaner," it's not significantly better or worse than any other
snake oil product of the same type.

And improves performance.

Utterly untrue. *NO* registry "cleaner" has ever been proven to improve
performance; the actions they perform are not the sort that could have any
affect on a computer's performance.
