I have been around the forums Rich.
I have seen the damage that people do with reg cleaners.
Now for an experienced user maybe ...those who know what they are doing and can put any mistakes right again ..

We seem to be back on this topic again ..... A cause for concern

May I ask your opinion/experiences about Registry Mechanic? (bought it).

[valis]

my views on ANY registry cleaner are pretty much expressed in post 14.....it's not that I dislike them, it's more along the lines that automated processes can quite easily accidentally delete keys or modify strings that are not meant to be modified/deleted.

That's just my opinion, though....I have had to fix quite a few pc's that were cratered due to registry 'cleaners', so I have a pretty heathly distrust of them.

As the registry is a fairly sensitive place, and it doesn't really matter if you have dead keys in there (as I mentioned, I've got a 10 year old box that has had more apps loaded onto it than I care to remember, and I've never even cleaned out the crap out of there that has been removed), I've found the best practice is to use something like ntregopt, which just compresses the registry (sort of like defragging your hd), and thereby decreases the boot time.

Again, just my nickel's worth.
