Which Registry Cleaner?
I suggest you visit www.macecraft.com.
You are entitled to your opinion even if it is totally incorrect. I am unaware that Microsoft has written a Registry Cleaner for WINXP, perhaps you will be kind enough to post a link? Perhaps you will also refrain from posting BS. "Unknown" wrote in message . com... Many false statements in your reply. 1. RegSupreme is NOT the cleaning engine for JV16 Power Tools. 2. There was/is only ONE author for the registry cleaner. 3. Registry cleaners are a placebo is entirely false. Why do you think Microsoft developed one? 4. No confidence on restoring the registry is required with JV16 Power Tools, it is built in. I suspect you have this mixed up with some other registry cleaner. "Edward W. Thompson" wrote in message ... "Unknown" wrote in message om... Far and above, JV16 Power Tools. Used to be free but now there is a small fee for it. However it is many tools in one. And I might add you will never worry about it causing any kind of problem. It has a restore feature and you can select what you want to delete from the registry which the cleaner finds. "Steve" wrote in message ... RegCleaner "Prabhat" wrote in message ... Hi All, I have XP + SP1. I use Microsoft OLD RegClean. Is this the Best Registry Cleaner Available? Or If not which one I should Go For my XP System? Thanks Prabhat As far as I am concerned this is bad advice. I have used several 'Registry Cleaners' and the only one to give me problems was RegSupreme which is the 'cleaning engine' of JV16 Power Tools. Fortunately I always backup the Registry using ERUNT and no damage was done. The problem was repeatable and I advised the program authors who were singularly unhelpful. I may have had a 'one off' problem but to say "you will never worry about it causing any kind of problem" is an unfounded statement. The usefulness of Registry cleaners in WINXP is very doubtful, they are a placebo. If you are not entirely confident on how to restore your system in the event of a Registry problem, don't run a 'cleaner', you won't miss anything. |

I think Mr. Thompson was being ironic...this is an XP newsgroup, you know, and MS has withdrawn the file, as you point out, so what might have been relevant in the past is no relevant now. |

Perhaps you didn't notice that this NG is about WINXP. Unless specifically
stated I think it reasonable to assume all comments refer to WINXP. Perhaps you are a mind reader but I'm not. "CS" wrote in message ... On Wed, 27 Oct 2004 06:58:33 +0100, "Edward W.

Only partially true. While it is about WINXP, it is so in a GENERAL
sense. Thus many other things impact upon our discussions, and registry matters as well as antivirus programs and a host of other GENERAL concerns can be said to be indirectly related to WINXP discussions.

So a discussion or remarks about software (in this case a Registry Cleaner)
that is designed for another OS is relevant to this NG? That sure is going to open the flood gates! WinMe is less relevant to WINXP than DOS. "James" wrote in message ... Only partially true.

RegClean was not written for Windows XP but there are many (maybe hundreds?) people using it on Windows XP and I believe that would make it relevant. |

Which Registry Cleaner?
The only thing needed to safely clean your registry is knowledge
and Regedit.exe. If you lack the knowledge and experience to maintain your registry by yourself, then you also lack the knowledge and experience to safely configure and use any automated registry cleaner, no matter how safe they claim to be. I always use Regedit.exe. I trust my own experience and judgment far more than I would any automated registry cleaner. MVP Bruce My own words and thoughts on the issue: 1. If you know your Windows and registry files well enough, there would be no need for this post. 2. NEVER trust 'any' registry cleaner unless you know the files you are dealing with and understand the registry. 3. Your question may pertain to simply Add or Remove files and/or Software listings, if so: Troubleshooting, Removing and/or Cleaning Add or Remove Programs http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_a.htm#addremove 4. Registry files are best left alone, when it comes to an automated cleaner. Good luck and if you are having any other questions that relate to your post as to why you feel you "need" a cleaner, post back. -- All the Best, Kelly Microsoft-MVP Windows® XP-Shell/User 2004 Windows MVP "Winny" Award Troubleshooting Windows XP http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com Taskbar Repair Tool Plus! http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/taskbarplus!.htm "Deepak" wrote in message ...

Which Registry Cleaner?
I always use three registry cleaners; one is Microsoft's and two are third
party. RegScrbXP eliminates all null and blank lines from the registry. This significantly speeds up your computer. It can be downloaded form here http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=2048 Microsoft's program is called RegClean.exe - this one came out in Windows 98 era and works great on Windows XP - this fixes Microsoft's acknowledged SNAFUs. http://www.majorgeeks.com/download458.html Remember to launch the above two programs three times in a row, to get all the problems out. I also use RegCleaner to remove unwanted programs from the registry that are not listed in add/remove programs. http://www.majorgeeks.com/download460.html |

It's not supported for Windows XP, which has a different registry than the
9x versions of Windows, so you're playing Russian Roulette with your system.
