Vista Registry cleaner

Is there a Registry Cleaner out there which is compatible with Vista? It
should have a good track record.

I agree. If the user needs a utility that is both harmless AND worthless he
should look at ram defraggers <g>.

Re: Vista Registry cleaner

A registry cleaner is like a gun, in the right (trained) hands, a useful
tool.
But load & cock it and hand it to a 4 year old... I think not!
I have yet to see a registry cleaner that should be used by anyone that
can't do the same thing without it.
If you think you need one, you probably aren't experienced enough to use it
properly.
I do have ccleaner installed, but I don't allow it to mess with my registry.
I just use it to clean up temp files.

Registry cleaners are totally unnecessary. The only thing they
accomplish is causing problems.
