Registry Cleanup

[MagicalDean]

Can anyone recommend any good programs for clearing the registry of anything that isn't needed/isn't important/etc safely? I'm always slightly worried about trying to remove stuff like old uninstall references myself

Any help is greatly apprechiated

I always use easycleaner by toniarts and I've never had any problems with it. Just google for it!

In addition it does other stuff like clearing your IE cache, removing unneccesary and duplicate files.

RegistryFixer (part of Fix-It Utilities, see

http://www.v-com.com/product/Fix-It_Utilities_Home.html)

is an excellent registry cleaning tool. Unlike every other such tool, it rates the *safety* of making each recommended registry change on a green/yellow/red scale.

I've used ccleaner with good success, and it's free. It can found at

My favorite is a pay program called Advanced System Optimizer from systweak, found at
