Any Value in a 'Registry Cleaner' in Windows XP?
I'm a slightly computer savvy woman who needs good some advice. My petunia
business relies on my computer's good function. I'm trying to keep it working well. I keep it defragmented and well protected against virus threats and spyware. I have to use the internet and I'm currently relying on Windows-XP built in software firewall. So far I've remained afloat. (And, I want to keep it that way!) I'm curious to know if anyone thinks any of those so called 'Registry Cleaners' are any good. Several years ago I tried a Norton product, when I was using Windows 98, and I was very-very unimpressed. I have no doubt that Mr. Norton's program found some innacurate registry entries and removed them; however, the speed and efficency of my system was not noticably different. Moreover, the size of those big old registry data files was only diminished by an itsy-witsy tiny little bit. And, I was always so nervous using it; although thank goodness, it never seemed to harm a darn thing! I guess I stopped using it because it didn't seem to hurt, but it sure didn't help me out one doggone bit. Unless someone can show me a good reason to use one I am quite unlikely to try it again. It seems the risk is too great and the upside is very little. Thanks, Lil |
