Yup, and it seems to do the job....I think

Re: Registry 'cleaning'
 

That is Reg Cleaner, which is the one I linked to... "Reg Clean" is a different program, IIRC it was a Microsoft program that they discontinued some years ago.
I never had problems with Reg Cleaner on Win 95 but a friend who used Reg Cleaner on his Win 2000 pc had severe problems after using it.
Always been a bit wary of it since then but have just tried the copy I had from a while back and it seems OK.
Sadly Jouno Vourio, the developer of Reg Cleaner sold out and it is no longer freeware, I think the license is owned by Macesoft now.

Edit: Just re read Gary 580's post, it seems that you can get RegClean but it is not supported by Microsoft.:tu:

Re: Registry 'cleaning'
 

I have put RegCleaner 4.3 (freeware) on my webspace
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/john.forrest3/Regcleaner%204.3%20(freeware)/

stated as freeware in program info.

HTH

EDIT: I have also just added a great little app. called Reg-protect that alerts you to anything being added to the registry and asks you if you want to allow it. ( same folder as above)

Re: Registry 'cleaning'
 

This is the place for the latest, up to date version of Reg Cleaner, now called Reg Supreme and costs $12.95... Version 4.30 is an old version, but it works perfectly. If you look at the screen shots you can see the similarity with the old versions.

it does the job for me no matter how old it is i never had once of troulble from regclean

Re: Registry 'cleaning'
 

ah - jv16 - I have it as 'Power Tools', the latest full version of that is $29.95 - the 'freeware' version of power tools , which I think was also version 4.3, timed out on Jan 1st, this year :(

I also use norton utilities & the old microsoft regclean

- what was it? - 'beats as it sweeps as it cleans' :D

Re: Registry 'cleaning'
 

Yep $29.95 for full suite, but you can buy the stand alone "Reg Supreme" for $12.95. however as theman says if the old version of works, why pay for an upgrade.

Febs issue of ComputerShopper mag had a free version of Mcafee QuickClean on it, it's very good---helps uninstall all of a prog and also cleans up internet stuff and shreds files (not that I need anything like that) :D
