Re: Best Registry Cleaner for vista

Hello Arun,

For what did you have the need for cleaning your registry? If you delete
something without knowledge and about the need for the entry you can break
your system. Then maybe you have to reinstall. So why not using it like it
is? If you buy a car you also will not take out some electronic or some devices
from the engine.

Best regards

No. They cause more problems than they solve.
If you can't do it manually, you're likely to mess up your system if you
use a tool.
If you can do it manually, the tool isn't very useful.

Hi Arun,

"CCleaner" is great as a junk cleaner and other things, but it is only a ok registry cleaner.

Wise makes a couple of free programs that one is a great registry cleaner, "Wise Registry Cleaner", and the other is like Vista's Disk Cleanup but better, "Wise Disk Cleaner". Here is the link for them:

Telling people to manually edit their Registry isn't very good advice
for the average user for obvious reasons; doing so can totally trash
your Registry making your computer unbootable. Far safer to use a tool
designed for that purpose.

The tool is even more dangerous than doing it manually.
Most users decide against the idea when confronted with the registry
editor, because they realise that they don't know what they're doing.
With a tool, most users go "Nice pretty wizard. Next, next, next, next,
finish. Oh dear, my system doesn't boot any more." Only then do they
realise that they didn't know what they were doing.

Re: Best Registry Cleaner for vista

Well, I both agree and disagree. On principle, I would agree, but there are
some decent tools out there that will *not* trash your system.

I don't use them much anymore, but a few years back, I had a Registry tool
that could verifiably delete some Registry components that were obviously,
without-a-doubt incorrect/obsolete. Sure, it wouldn't really take care of
many real problems, but it'd clean some things up that were pretty much safe
to remove.

Re: Best Registry Cleaner for vista

To put it another way...
A registry cleaner should not be used by anyone unfamiliar with the
registry they are unable to see something wrong.
Only use a registry cleaner if you are familiar enough to do the job
manually but desire a too to speed the job.

Since there is little or nothing to be gained anyway, leave the
registry alone unless you know exactly what you are doing.
