Who knows a good manual registry cleaner?

August 25, 2009

I’m looking for a registry cleaner where I can manually select keys by software vendor for Windows XP. A program called RegCleaner did it for me, but since I have a new pc (also runs XP) it doesn’t work for me.

Now most registry cleaners will scan automatically, but they are quite useless and dangerous to use. Are there any other registry cleaners out there that don’t scan / delete anything automatically but make it easier for me to identify the keys I want to throw out?

Good tip, but I really need one that will clear out the registry keys per software vendor. This one only scans for issues.

Question about Registry Cleaners/Fixers?

August 23, 2009

I saw the new “Aro 5” Registry Cleaner advertised today.
The free edition, like many others, offers to scan and fix 20 errors.

It scanned and found 1040 errors.

So what in a Registry is worth fixing, and what is just collected “junk”?

The choices are:
Active X and COM
Application Paths
File Types
Help Files
History Lists
Shared Files
Shortcuts
Software
Sounds
Start Menu
Deep Scan
Current User

Are any of these cleaners actually worth their weight?
Thanks!
