Windows 7 - Registry Cleaner

**winkerbie** · 09-06-2010

Finalizing my upgrade from vista 32 bit to Windows 7 x64 Ultimate, but I need a native 64 bit reigstry cleaner. Apparently 32bit cleaners are unable to recognise the whole registry that windows has, so it may cause more harm than good.

Could some recommened one that they are using with 64bit OS

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.

JV16 Powertools supports 64 bit software. The software is simply great IMHO! I use it quite often. Registry Cleaner, Optimize Windows with our System Utilities | Macecraft Software

I use the freeware from iobit.com I liked it so much I installed it on all our systems and have good luck with it. It is nice getting something for free that works.

CCleaner does a pretty good job don't you think?

I agree with Stormy. Win 7 does not need a registry cleaner, period. If you must use one - and there is no reason to - Ccleaner is relatively safe.

Just let Windows 7 do it's job. As I once read this. A few unnecessary things in the registry will not be noticed but one needed entry can make a door stop out of your computer.

Techymike- I used to run IObit System Care and its Registry Cleaner finds things that no other software finds like System Certificate information. I no longer use the software because each time the program is run it goes to the internet to report back to IObit and I chose to opt out of their systematic information gathering.

For me I feel that this program does a good job, I understand that some feel that no software is needed. I respect that and agree but for me I like what I like!
