Keep your registry clean!!!

It is VERY important to maintain a clean registry.

First, please open up a run command. (Start->Run->CMD) or Hold down the Windows key and press R.

Type in regedit. Then go to File, then Export. Please save your registry back up to a folder you will remember. It is VERY unlikely you will need to use this, but it can happen.

Download Abexo Registry Cleaner, Eusing Registry Cleaner and CC Cleaner. I've been using all of these applications for years and guarantee they are malware/spyware free. You can even read the reviews of these applications at download.com.

Before running these applications, please take the time to uninstall any unused or unnecessary applications on your system. The reason being, 
these registry cleaners will come by and clean whatever those programs
left behind. From experience 99% of applications leave some dirt.

Now you're ready to scan your registry and clean it up!!!! Each of these
programs are very straight forward, but if you have any issues please post here and I'll help you out!

CC Cleaner has different functions, it cleans your internet traces but also
has a registry cleaner. The reason I'm recommending all three is because no matter what order you run them in all three will find issues!

Cheers!

Good stuff!! I haven't "cleaned house" in the past 4 years (age of my current box), I've been extremely wary...........looking for something safe and proven to do the work 

Wow! Between the three programs, I cleaned up over 1GB and I lost count of the # of entries. I also turned off the services that weren't needed and there is definitely a noticeable performance increase.

I just used the free versions Harry, and they all seemed to do their job. If I recall correctly, only one of them indicated a "trial period".

Nope, they are all freeware. One of them asks you to register each time you open it, but the program remains fully functional forever.

That works great...very simple to use. I found 382 issues with my work laptop...can't wait to check my old home pc.

CCleaner deleated my C drive

Wow, 1000 bad entries, first time I've ever used a reg cleaner

I've been using Clean Up for awhile. Just ran it and cleared around 350MB, then ran Eusing, and ended up with 848 items in need of repair. Running the last now.

I prefered CCleaner when they called it Crap Cleaner...

People, just be aware that Registry Cleaner can also mess up your window registry. Make sure you backup your registry before run any reg cleaner. Some cleaner can be too agressive in cleaning out your registry. I use CCleaner to clean out my temp files but when it come to the window reg i usually do it myself but i use CCleaner as a double verification tool.

Are these fully Vista compatible?

Originally posted by brownhaze Well I ran the Abexo cleaner and the Eusing cleaner and I don't think they did anything. The Abexo cleaner scanned and found 1038 entries but when I tried to repair them it told me to register. I thought it was free. I also ran Eusing, scanned, but when I tried to repair the issues it just froze. And now I'm trying to uninstall it but it says it cant open the INSTALL.LOG file. What should I do?

Buy the full version.

Typically when you run a free registry cleaner it will find and isolate all the issues, but it will not remove them.  To remove them you usually have to buy the full version.  I know this to be the case with RegVac and A1 Click Ultra PC Cleaner.  I have them both (Full versions), but when I had just the free versions, I could never actually remove anything.  It just finds and isolates.  I may be wrong with other brands.

Any issues running these on a Vista 64 machine?

I ran the Eusing free reg. cleaner on my vista 64 system, and now I've got some problems.  I has turned my desktop black, and will not allow me to mke any changes.  It also has disabled the control panel, which makes it hard to try to do anything about it.  It ALSO turned off or deleted my print spooler, and when I go into services to turn it back on it gives me an error that it can't find the files. 

I ran ccleaner and eusing and they worked great... thx for the links.
