How about none. This is one of many threads here about this,

What is a good, reliable registry cleaner?

and you will be hard pressed to find anyone that will recommend one beyond ccleaner, as it is fairly tame in what it looks for.

+1 i am afraid i have to support stormy on this one

Me too, CCleaner is the way to go.

Besides CCleaner I also use Revo Uninstaller to remove the Registry Values of programs that are being permanently removed from my computer.

I never ever ever even consider using Revo (have seen it cause too many problems - I know it goes well for most people, but I have seen the other cases!) and I never use registry cleaners, CCleaner, registry defragmenters, etc. etc. I run Auslogics Defragmenter, and TFC, and that does me!

The best solution for the registry?
1: Fresh windows install
2: No registry cleaners at all

I know a few things about computers and dared to use CCleaner. Even now I am recovering from its cleanup. On default settings it disabled my wifi, rendered my AV inoperative, and a few dozen more problems.

I think I would pass

WoW! I've been using CCleaner on both of my computers for many years and never had a single problem when using its very gentile Registry Cleaner. I've read many other Members who have also had the same great experience using CCleaner for ages without a single incident and I'm wondering how it is that some people have met with these kind of very severe disasters while others never do?

Maxx, I recently worked with a BSOD caused by Ccleaner registry cleaner. The OP admitted he just blindly followed Ccleaner and did not check the keys Ccleaner had identified. No registry cleaner is 100% safe or foolproof, even Ccleaner.
