Try CCleaner and NTREGOPT.exe.

I use both and see performance increases aplenty.

Plus -- this is MUCH safer than trying to make MANUAL changes to the
Registry.

Sigh! Some people will believe this rubbish and hose their systems.
CCleaner is fine as a temporary file remover and system cleaner, just
keep it away from the Registry, is all.

Cheers,

Cliff

Far too timid.

Not manly...

Use all the features in CCleaner...

Use Perfect Disk, Disk Cleanup and Acronis True Image too, of course.

Don't be a girly man.

That's DSH, kind sir.

CCleaner works for me and provides performance increases.

I also regularly use and recommend NTREGOPT.EXE.

yes, DHS, I do use CCleaner and, as I have stated in my original post,
regularly recommend it but, unlike you, I haven't seen any speed increase
through its use. Once again I have to quote Bruce Chambers in as much as
"CCleaner's sole strength lies in its usefulness for cleaning up unused
temporary files from the hard drive." If there is any performance, and
without testing it rigourously solely for the purpose of ascertaining any
increase in performance I would have to say that any such claim to fame
regarding current increase in performance, if indeed there is any, is
negligible.

The best advice you could give would be to have a good backup regime and
to avoid anything that touches the registry.

You appear to be the girly man----taking unnecessary and ridiculous risks.
No common sense.

Ouch. How do you install most programs then? The vast majority of them
make registry changes, some make very huge numbers of changes. A few
make no changes, but it's a limited set.
