Registry Optimizer ?

[Lost Soul]

hi let me get every ones advice on these types of programs that are Registry Optimizer

are they safe to use, are they even worth having ? ive read some where to stay away from progs like these, but yet i still see alot of ppl using these types of progs, can some one fill me in on what they think about these,, would they use them, even own them ? are they even worth the hassle..?

pls lend me your thoughts.

Well I dont know exactly if the're worth having, but I suppose they are. I've also read that many of them are useless (or dangerous), but I've find 3 which are the ones I use.

CCleaner and Regseeker (not exactly registry optimizers, but they have these functions). After cleaning the registry, I defragment it with NTREGOPT. Google them if you want more info.

I use TuneUpUtilities Registry Cleaner and CCleaner as well. i have had some problems before with registry cleaners just make sure you look over wahts being deleted before deleting it.

Both Tunup Utilities and CCleaner, in the past year or so i've used them i've never once had to remove something from the "to be deleted list" so you shouldn't have a problem with them.

thanks for the replys guys, im running regscrubxp its a free prog and works fine but what id really like to look into is the optimizing of registerys, does it really help out, so far what i can gather up is theres many dangers in trying such a thing

@ Lost Soul,

look here: http://www.elcor.net/rdefrag.php

This site has much info on optimizing a registry and also a good program for doing it.

hi thank you for the info on that program, i know of many progs that do this task but ive never tested them out my self, all the information that ive really found on them is to beware of them that they are dangrous, what im looking for is ppl that have actually used these programs and there opinions on them, on did it help them, and would they suggest them..

thanks

I've used Registry First Aid to clean up my registry, it also offers to compact the registry as well. It does just what it says and my system is faster after using it, so hey, whatever gets the job done well.

I use Fix It Utilities' Reg Fixer feature, Reg First Aid and RegScrub. FIU's also has a Registry Defragmenter which I use every once and a while.

Since all I want is for junk to not accumulate in the registry, I use an (unofficial) tool by Microsoft, which was released in the days of win97. It still does a good job.

RegClean 4.1a
