I will go with yoyo on this guys
for most users, the registry cleaners do more harm then good.
for instance, suppoe for arguments sake, the cleaner finds 400 bad entries.
well, you have to go through these, and decide which are actually bad, and which you don't want to take a chance with.
too many people wind up with problems in the future, that they don't attribue to registry cleaning, because they don't come up for months on end.
for instance, one famouse cleaner deletes your windows help file.
now
I haven't used the help file for over a year, but the other day, I used it to pull up an ms white paper to make a point.
so, if my help file had been removed by a reg cleaner, I could not have possibly atributed the problem to a reg clean that I did over a year ago, could I?
be very discriminating when using these
