Boot to disc, format, install

I don't know if this poll would be 'scientifically' accurate. Who used all four and determined the best?

Most will just vote what they use/know. I use CCleaner and I love it.

 

[MovingTarget]

Boot to disc, format, install

fdisk, format, and reload, doo dah, doo dah...

Too bad that wasn't an option, Skoorb. I was hoping it was. Had to vote CCleaner instead.

They are all placebos. Ask Dr. Pizza -- he wrote a program to pollute the registry with thousands of entries and it didn't slow things down in any meaningful way.

You're the same guy who posted the "What's The Best Gaming Computer Company" thread that got locked.
He's gone from asking what the best gaming PC company to buy from is because he "DOESN'T WANT TO BUILD HIS OWN COMPUTER".
Then he says he wants to build a computer for between $4k and $5k (sure...), then a guy GIVES HIM a high end PC.
I'm calling bullshit on every one of his posts.
Sad.

Boot to disc, format, install

This is the correct answer.

Actually that would be interesting to try. I wonder if the registry has any kind of limits like how many keys can be under another key etc... could be fun to play with in a VM. :twisted:

IMHO, Mint Linux is the best registry cleaner.

 

[olds]

regedit

 

[FoBoT]

 

[Colt45]

WTF is a registry?

 

[AnonymouseUser]

IMHO, Mint Linux is the best registry cleaner.

Any Linux distro works for me.

 

[SonnyDaze]

Mint 8.

 

[lothar]

regedit

This.

Not crapping up your registry with garbageware in the first place.

Wait, wtf is this in OT. :\

 

[Blayze]

out of that list CCleaner

 

[Miramonti]

CCleaner is the most popular, altho all can be equally destructive.

 

[corkyg]

CCleaner may be the most popular, but my experience says RegistryBooster by Uniblue is better. It carries a Microsoft gold certificate as well.

Ergo, "None of the above" or "other" would be my poll response.

Caveat! Cleaning the registry is frought with peril and must be used judiciously. Windows 7 has a built in cleaner as well.

 

[Binky]

You should add a "NONE" option. There is little point in "cleaning" your registry.

 

[Tristicus]

CCleaner.

What's the built in cleaner you're referring to?
