Unfortunate part is that they are neither safe or effective.

Yes, they are not-too-smart, narrow-minded technicians who have seen
pogues misuse Registry Cleaners and want to proscribe them for ALL of us.

Bruce Chambers seems to be one of the worst of them.

I would certainly concur that an unguided Registry Cleaner in the hands of
a
Naive Newbie is a dangerous weapon indeed.

But I've found the Registry Cleaner in CCleaner to be BOTH safe and
effective.

'Nuff Said.

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.

Twaddle...

My experience proves otherwise.

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.

Nonsense...

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.
