I don't recommend any reg cleaner as they can do more harm than good.

Because of the potential problems, Bleeping Computer does not recommend the use, of registry cleaners.

Check out the Freeware Replacements For Common Commercial Apps topic, under the Hard Drive & System Utilites heading, in Post #1.
These are programs used, and recommended by our members.
You might find something, there.

...or you can just defrag with the utility provided in Windows. It's a bit slow but does the job.

I dont use Reg cleaners either. I've tried Diskeeper Lite, was better than the built in. But IIRC Its no longer available from the makers. I run the full version, which can be set on auto mode and has some advanced options. thumbup.gif but paid.
