Registry Cleaning

[Toxcity]

Evening all,

I am on the search for a registry cleaning type program which gets rid of all keys which point to nothing, key which point to network files and any other crap.

Anyone had any experience? I have tried Registry Fix, Ccleaner and Advanced Optimizer. I am looking for something a little more brutal.

Thanks!

Used to use one called Registry Mechanic. Was pretty good.

I have no issues with it either.. but I still find registry keys that point to nothing.. or are completely useless.

tune-up utilities is good, been using it for years now

Just tested the Registry Mechanic trial and it seems good so far.. got rid of a good few keys that according to it was rubbish.

Googling Tune-Up now.. thanks for the suggestion! - Looks quite impressive but quite expensive.

i've used a few in the past pconpoint is good, registry mechanic i use with caution, for the past few months i've stuck to Uniblue software, their registry cleaner is excellent, as is their speedupmypc software, the spycleaner is good but takes time to scan.

I quite like Free Window Registry Repair, it gets tons more entries than the few other progs I've tried. LINK

does it run from DOS? my vista upgrade has shagged my registry and it wont allow me to do a system restore either

does anyone see improvments when using these programs? I've never really used one so dont know.

definitely mate, you'll be amazed with the amount of errors in your registry. another good one i used for years is error repair pro, probably one of the best.

As with all registry programs use with caution as they can screw up your pc.

i understand that it may fix the errors, just wanted to know if you noticed any difference once the errors were fixed.

Forgive me, I'm still a new member to the forums so I can't post links yet.

Have you ever tried anything from Macecraft? It's not free, but a demo is available. Plus it's all Server 2008/Vista/64bit compatible.

I myself have been using Tune-Up utilities since 2004-5?. Great program with some amazing features, download the demo for 30 days from their website.

Purchase after if you like it, this was a piece of software in which I actually invested my own money into.
