In trying to find info on registry editing, I used XP help and tried "regedit". As well as informing you how to call up regedit, giving you dire warnings about screwing your system up, and recommeding backing up your registry, it implies there is no real need to modify or delete anything in the registry. My question is, does windows have a program that cleans up the registry? Are the commercial registry cleaners really necessary? I am not trying to start anything. I would just like an imformed common sense opinion.
