PC Tools Registry Mechanic
« on: February 23, 2010, 09:29:31 PM »
I've been using this registry tool for a while now and have come to believe a good registry cleaning does a system good. My 'puter is always very stable and running this program generally fixes any issues that arise regarding performance.

The thing is they want you to resubscribe periodically for $.

Are there any programs you guys/gals would recommend that have the same functionality that could be found in the freeware realm?

I do pretty well with the registry cleaning portion of ccleaner..  It hasn't caused me any problems and does a good job of removing junk of all kinds, not just obsolete or unneeded registry entries.

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

I use WinASO to clean the registry.  If you really want to help performance use a registry defrag.  I use Perfect Disk.
