Best Registry Cleaner?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.dell,comp.windows.misc,microsoft.public.windowsme.general (More info?)

My computer has been in constant use for over 3 years. I know that the
registry **has** to be bloated.

I have read that some registry cleaners end up deleted needed entries, and
you end up with unwanted problems. At the same time, I have read that the
current crop of registry cleaners are better at doing their intended job of
routing out duplicated and outdated entries. Yet, I don't know which one
is really considered as being the "best."

I know that I should first back up the registry before running the utility,
and also to create a fresh restore point just prior to the sweep.

Main Question-- which of the registry cleaners do YOU think is best ??

Thanks for any further input and ideas !!

I like the reg cleaner in jv16 Power Tools. The new version is a $$$ app,
however, the older, free version is still available through some download
sites. I like this particular app because it will tell you "why" it sees a
particular entry as invalid or no longer needed and allows you to decide.
Whatever app you decide on, just make sure it backs up whatever is removed,
just in case.

I, too, really like the registry cleaner included in jv16 Power Tools.

I agree on jv16 and I'm still using the older version. The only
problem I've had is it tags a couple of Roxio, V-6 ECDC entries, that
if you delete can cause you problems, but they are easy to spot in the
list the program presents.

I quite like easycleaner - i`ve used it for a number of years across
several machines without a problem. Its also free.

It may not be as effective as some commercial variants but i`ve had no
need to do a cross-comparison.

System Mechanic from www.iolo.com.

It's a full 30 day free trial, search for reviews always seem to do well.

Add me to the list of JV16 Power Tool fans. Came to it after it
became proware, but at $29.95 it was worth it, IMHO.

Just a couple of weeks ago I uninstalled a heavy-duty graphics
program [sort of a CorelDraw on steroids]. Inconveniently, it
left ~1500 registry entries behind. That they were in sets of
six eased recognition some, and using JV16 PT made short work of
cleaning up the detritus. It doesn't hold the user's hand as
much as some reg cleaners, but as another poster noted, it
provides enough info on a given entry to permit you to separate
out the no-brainer deletions from the "did I really get rid of
what put that entry in there" ones that require a bit more
caution. It helps if you use it regularly, and particularly
after you have uninstalled a program, when the chance of
recognition of left-over entries is high. ;->

Another option is RegSupreme, from the same company (http://www.jv16.org/).

"Contains only the registry cleaning engine from jv16 PowerTools."

Being that RP was written in 2000, is it usable with XP?

Adding to this, I'd suggest users of jv16 take advantage of the
'uninstall' feature for programs that many just ignore.

Good point, in fact I think that was brought up earlier. Someone mentioned
its' effective removal of the 'detritus' left behind by most apps
uninstallers.

Not noticeably, but then I don't do things that would cause me to
notice the incremental speed increase that might have been
produced. In fact, the program I got /rid/ of that left the
entries was probably the one program in which I might have
noticed a speed improvement, when I set it to processing
something. ;->

And how does this cleaning of 'detritus' improve your computer's
performance? Does it start faster, for example, or does it run more
dependably? Is your Internet connection speedier or your does your computer
run cooler?

Can you supply the URL of a reputable benchmark test that compares
before-and-after results of various registry cleaners on significant markers
of computer performance?

I like SystemSuite 5.0. It not only cleans up your registry, it defrags it
too. Get it at www.v-com.com It's not free but worth every penny, and, yes,
after running the registry cleaner and defragging will make your computer
run noticeably faster, especially if your registry is full of cross links
and dead end paths.

How do "cross links and dead end paths" in the registry make a computer run
slower? Do they, for example, soak up CPU time?

Is it just possible that your perception of "noticeably faster" performance
is influenced by all the myth and hype surrounding tools that have no real
value for Windows XP, but give the user the illusion that they're somehow
'doing something' for their computer?

I am not interested in proving anything to you. I don't have Windows XP and,
son, this isn't a Windows XP newsgroup. If you don't know how cross links
and dead end paths slow down your computer, do a search on www.google.com
and educate yourself.
