[Epidemic]

Do they have a point and shoot product that requires little intervention... I hate when it asks me if
" would you like to keep this key which appears to be no longer in use 1234hb1243b234b00012340342412340123401234/0034029348l5hj083120250092345050/1234///234//////23434342!!"

I use System Mechanic. Most reliable registry cleaner I've used yet regardless of Windows version. As for some other registry cleaners, I could not say the same. Hosed my registry too many times where certain applications would behave erratically or Windows would simply crash.

Give it a shot, they have a shareware version you can download

Any specific reasons you may have to clean your registry?

I means you check out lots of shareware or test stuff or just generally want to keep everything tweaked up?

(PS: How often you gets your truck tuned? Just curious.)

Another information linky

Because bloated registry can cause system errors....

regclean for older systems(not sure how good it is now)was very easy and straight forward. plus freeware which is always great. link for it here

sorry, just reread this post, about XP. duh.

agree with NDC, i use system mechanic also. love it

I know what happens with bloated registry.

I was just wondering if member epidemic had an academic interest or if he was actually messing up his PC with shareware.......
