Which Registry Cleaner?

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. Use it if you want - it's a free country - but don't counsel others to follow your mistake. I used it for a couple of years, and it always seemed to be doing the right stuff, until I had to rebuild the hard drive and found a bunch of things that had stopped working - most likely because of RegClean. Sigh! |

Which Registry Cleaner?
That is sort of a stupid statement since there is no information avaiable on
what to search for to clean out useless elements. How do you know what to delete if you don't know whether or not an item is associated with some other item? "Kelly" wrote in message ... The only thing needed to safely clean your registry is knowledge and Regedit.exe.

Which Registry Cleaner?
The real hype here is whether or not an individual can clear out unnecessary
elements in the registry without a reg-cleaner. When first run a good cleaner will find approximately 300 useless items that can be deleted from the registry. After installing SP2 about 200 more. How can you find them without a registry cleaner? "Ted Zieglar" wrote in message ... The Internet is filled - jammed - with information about the registry, to say nothing of your local bookstore.

you obviously never did any performance testing with your computer!
if your computer is told to do nothing...then it is told to skip this step...then it is told to look for a nonexistent file...and it keeps repeating these steps...how fast is your computer going to be? I am just removing these useless steps...performance increase is noticeable. "Sandman" wrote in message ... Why do you believe you need to do this in the first place?
