763865 2009-04-10 20:48:00 Do any of you use a registry cleaner? If so what?
And does it actually fix registry errors, or just cleans it up a bit?

763866 2009-04-10 21:01:00 Ccleaner.

No.

Not even that very well.

763869 2009-04-10 22:19:00 I use Wise Registry Cleaner and CCleaner.

And I always perform a registry backup first.

From what I know, a registry cleaner removes leftover stuff/uneeded stuff from the registry. eg Leftovers from an uninstalled program.

A registry cleaner does its job, but IMO it doesn't really make your computer that much faster...

763870 2009-04-10 23:02:00 I have been using RegSeeker for years. It doesn't fix registry errors but it cleans out heaps of stuff. Not sure whether it makes things faster but I like the idea that the crud has gone. :p FoxyMX (5)

I use the REGVAC (www.superwin.com) Registry Cleaner. First, do the standard Back Up. Now there are two zones - the Novice and the Expert. The Novice Zone is roughly the equivalent to Cc. The Expert Zone really does the business provided you know what you are doing. If you are unsure just follow the program's advice.

But wait, there's more, Regvac comes with Cleaners, Editors and Tools to optimize your computer. Believe me, it really works.

This program fixes, cleans and defrags the registry. You can remove the uninstalled software entries as well.

Whilst the interface could certainly do with a make-over, this Registry Cleaner runs rings around any other. There is a fully functional free trial, after which you can still use the program with a nag screen. What yah got to lose?

Hell no!! :eek: My interest in computing is simply testing weird and wonderful freeware and shareware :groan:. If they do the job they stay, if they don't they go.

If a really good one comes along then from time to time, I'll write a review for all you PressF1ers so you can get the benefit from them too.

Do I do it for money, no. Unfortunately no one offers me any!! :eek::)

763874 2009-04-11 01:35:00 I use three and they all do different things ccleaner, glarys utility's, Ashampoo winoptimizer5. ccleaner gets rid of the crap, glarys has a good reg defrager, and Ashampoo optimizer does speed up my computer a lot it also stops things you don't need starting automatically. I am going to settle on one but have yet to make up my mind. I think it will be Ashampoo as they have a good on line help desk. None of them actually repair your registry though only clean it up Roger Hunt (13648)
