Topic: What Registration Cleaner do you guys use?

[Shamb]

I need a good free registry cleaner so I can make sure there's nothing "left behind" while I uninstall some programs.

There's a ton, i'm looking on CNET right now and not sure which one to pick. I need it to be simple and quick without any attached bs.

I use WinUtilities, it seems to be pretty good.  Its also free

CCleaner.  It's completely free to download AND use.  It also has a neat program to remove all .tmp, chkdsk, temporary interntet, history, prefetch, etc files all in one click. 

Most of the registry cleaners offer free download but want to charge you to remove what it finds after installing it.  Not CCleaner.

Agreed, most techs don't recomend cleaners. Pretty much worthless for actually fixing errors.

I've used CCleaner in the past, I wasn't aware that it removed registry files as well?

I thought it just cleared temp internet files, cookies, history ect

If that's the case i'll use it... I do like how quick and easy it is.
