Too bad people aren't always as informed. Even if they don't do
anything these products have a market and that's why they exist.

I use CCleaner also but not the registry portion of the program. I have
a problem when I use it though that it empties my recent programs list
on the start menu and after that it doesn't work anymore. I have to
apply a fix to get programs to show up on there again. I must have
something selected that I shouldn't. But that's no big deal, I only
run the program every 6 - 12 months.

Hello tech guys!

Many people have recommend me to use registry tool, mostly speed up my
Windows Vista performance which have really slow down lately. I've been
checking many sites, and most of them recommend Registry Easy to go
with. What do you guys say? I would only like to boost my Windows
speed.

Here is review I've read:

Everyone here will say don't use any registry cleaner (I agree).

There are reasons. For one thing, it's not needed. For another, many
programs are not that accurate in their choices.

Get a faster computer? I doubt a reg cleaner will speed things up for you.
Myself I use 'CCleaner' (free).

Agreed, avoid registry cleaners like the plague. They will nOT speed up
your system and they have a greater chance of messing up your computer
so it will not work.

The best registry cleaner for Vista is "None", as Gene correctly states
below and for the average user that is.
Tech guys will not look for advice on this subject here.
Therefore we can drop it completely.
Hopefully this will clear things up once and for all.

Harry.
