This one is free on microsoft. Very easy to use. It will take several hours to run. It does several scans. You don't have to do anything, it goes by itself.
To keep a Windows system running at peak efficiency, registry cleaning is one procedure to do using "CCleaner": http://www.ccleaner.com/
Freeware.
Download; create a 'Restore Point; install CCleaner; then:
On the main CC window, the 'paintbrush' tab is for the Windows components that you can clean; tick the bottom right box (Run Cleaner) an it will delete (or overwrite option) those files.
Same for 'applications' tab.
Next, down from the' paintbrush' is the 'Registry' icon (like a Rubik's Cube); first tick 'Scan for issues' button on the bottom; wait for the process to run.
it'll show a long list of entries for the first couple of cleanings; (Back up your first couple of registry cleanings, and if your unit gets ungovernable, restore those files. I've never had to do it, so I can't tell you how. After that the cleanings will be for empty folders or other junk so backup likely won't be necessary).
When ready, tick the 'Fix Selected entries' and CC will take care of those.
For your 1st few uses, have checked the 'show prompt to back up registry files'; open CC> Options> Advanced> check the 'show prompt…' box; then tick the 'yes' or confirm to back up the registry. (It gets saved to the 'c' drive, as 'ccxxxxxx')
Also, it's handy to put a shortcut to CC in your recycle bin folder so you don't have to open the app. every time.
CC> Options> Settings> tick the 'Add Run CC Option to Recycle bin'
And, if you use your browsing history a lot, you may want to un-check that box on the 'Cleaner> Internet Explorer' > History box; (otherwise, it clears your history file).
