wouldn't really want to recommend any but if i was forced to use one then ccleaner is less likely to bork your system.

Hi bill and welcome

We here are of two minds abt reg cleaners. Some advocate their use other avoid them like the plague. Im one of the latter. I have hosed more systems than I care to think about using reg cleaners. If my registry start getting out of hand I do a re-install from a previously saved image. I do that abt every 3months anyway.

Im sure someone will have good 64bit cleaners, just thought I would present the other side

I've been using Ace Utilities. http://www.acelogix.com/

It will create a system restore and it saves a .reg file of the registry entries that's been deleted.

Give it a try.

I have to go with Ken. Win 7, is really a great operating system. It runs fast and is able to correct many errors. How about in lieu of registry cleaner, a compromise. Make a system image of your operating system and put it in a safe place. Hopefully, this image will be made when all of your programs are installed and running correctly. Six months from now, or whatever time period is good for, you. Use system image to go back to the time that the system was lean and mean. For any small changes that you make between the time you made the image and restore to it, you can make notes and make those changes to the restored image.

CCleaner is a great bit of software and I would recommend it. However, use at your own risk!! ;)

Oh and always create a back up of your registry before using registry cleaners.

The only Reg Cleaner I would recommend using ... Is a Fresh install of Windows.

I use regvac since xp, works on 7 . I haven't had any problems. Create a system restore point.
ccleaner cleans up temp files, I rarely use it because it erases history.cache
, password files, game history. Regvac is free but ask you to buy.

OS
win 7
Read the quick guide to CCleaner
and the check boxes documentation page. Ifyou don't want it to clear your cache etc., you can just use the registry ccleaner by itself instead. I also find that the tools section generally loads faster than Windows' Programs and Features or Add/Remove Programs functions, and accesses the same uninstallers. The Startup section also appears less daunting than msconfig's for most users. I have it installed on a usb stick and use it regularly on older computers at work

Have used CCleaner monthly for 7 years without a single issue, Disk and Registry

Likewise Auslogics free Defraggers, the state of the art, Disk and Registry

7 years too for Avast free Home AV, on over 100 machines without a single issue or virus.
 
Hi all
Why on earth do people insist on using these tools -- eventually they only lead to tears.

If your registry needs "cleaning" then the ONLY safe solution is as a previous poster has pointed out is a WINDOWS NEW CLEAN INSTALL.

In any case if you follow these simple guidelines you should never have registry problems.

1) Before installing ANY software - Image your system (that's why I'd always keep an OS on a separate partition to the data etrc).

2) install the software.

3) if it doesn't work restore the image from the backup -- no messing about with "Un-installs" etc etc.

For people with more time etc I'd use a VIRTUAL machine, install and test on that if possible and then if OK install on your real machine --still of course taking a backup image BEFORE the install.

Taking these image dumps with decent imaging software such as ACRONIS (or even Windows 7 itself) doesn't take much extra time and saves a lot of problems.

How do you know if malware / spyware or worse isnn't added to the registry by these so called "cleaners". Avoid like the plague.

Cheers
jimbo
