Don't bother with these utterly useless registry cleaners,
they cause more harm than good.


Don't top post.

WHAT, pray tell, has one done to any of YOUR systems that you
could not undo with the backup files (which all the ones I have
used offer to create - and NONE of which I have ever had to use
myself)?

You "rulle" of thumb is as good as its spelling.

It's probably the best, or one of the top 3. You will see /no
performance increase/, but it will NOT **** anything up, in
spite of all the kind warnings from people who have probably
never even tried one.

It WILL clean up left-over useless crap (I have seen MAYBE ten
programs in twenty years that REALLY uninstall EVERYTHING they
dump into the registry) and make your registry smaller and
cleaner - if you care about those things. There are various
other advantages, figure it out.

BTW, I have been using 4 different ones (including an older
version of the main module of JV16 power tools, BTW the one that
comes with this new suite is much better - it tells you EXACTLY
why something in the registry is useless) for over 10 years and
NEVER a problem.

JV16 PT has a suite of other very nice applications included as
well. /Very/ highly recommended.

Completely untrue. Posted from ignorance and to be a gopher for a small
group of registry cleaner libelists. Like any other program, just source a
reliable program from a reliable web site. They don't do any harm or damage
and they also allow you to undo any changes you make anyway.

Often you'll find excellent advice on a newsgroup.
Before you use that advice though, consider the
ramifications of it being wrong or even dangerous;
how important IS that to you?
ALWAYS verify and confirm ANY advice from a
newsgroup!

Would you clean your registry manually?


Would YOU if you had a few hundred entries to work on? If so, you need to
get a life!

Would you use such a cleaning tool and verify each entry it found and
wanted to remove manually before removing it?


Not hard to do if one really wants to; plenty of sources around to look that
sort of thing up. But with today's cleaners it's not much needed effort as
long as it's making backups in case a program should depend on one of them.
