I have also been looking for a good freeware registry cleaner. However the ones I tried often cause problems.

I just tried this one on your recomendation and I am impressed.

First, on a couple of "non critica"l stystems and finally on my FSX system and so far, there has not been a single problem.
Of course I unistalled the toolbars after installing the RC.

Thanks.

Thanks for the link. I just tried it, 286 registry errors.. Poof! Shocked

Now I just hope it doesn't become a nag.

Its amazing how many unknown/unaware errors occur every time you install or un-install something, or drag and drop something, or delete something, or make any changes whatsoever to your Operating System and/or Hard Drive data....
...and that's not to mention all those zillions of entries in that "Temporary Internet Files" Folder that increase Logarithmically* (by the minute/second)!

"Stuff" to get rid of!... Wink

While we're on the subject....
For those who want to keep their registry in top shape.......

There is a great little freeware registry defragmenter that I have been using for a while with absolutly no problems.

It's called "Ainvio" registry defrag.
http://www.ainvo.com/en/product.php?path=data/products/rd/
It will analyze your registry for fragmentation and if needed, will schedule the defrag for the next boot.

Just DL the registry defrager and skip the online "free scan" which is for something else.
