Best Registry cleaner?

[Jest3r]

Anyone have any luck with some registry cleaners over others?

CCleaner seems to work well.

+1 for CCleaner.

You can try Registry Mechanic or Eusing.

+1 CCleaner

+1 Registry mechanic.

May not be a bad idea to run both.

I say none, especially with Vista.

I haven't cleaned my registry ever, and I promise you my PC is just as responsive as the day it was installed. And I don't have any weird problems either.

I personally am not a fan of registry cleaners. I think they cause more problems then they are worth.

OK, there could be a couple of situations that they could be handy. However, in that situation it would be better to find the offending key with regedit and delete or alter it manually.

Registry cleaners are often used to clean systems, and people will blindly trust them only to wonder why some apps start giving weird errors next time you use them because you deleted registry keys that WERE needed.

First, it is always wise to have either a backup or good restore point -- just in case. But I depend on registry cleaners for day to day cleaning after I install and uninstall software. The two I rely on most are Registry Easy and Wise Registry Cleaner. Neither has ever fouled up my machine and both do a seemingly good job. I also have RegCure, Registry First Aid, CCleaner, TuneUp Utilities and jv16 PowerTools, but rarely use them. jv16 reports finding a very long list of empty registry keys, but then is unable to delete them.
