Recommended Registry Cleaner for Win 7 64bit

[win7clutz]

Forget all your if’s… You’re taking this way too seriously! The guy ask for an opinion on good registry cleaners, he didn’t ask for your BS on system management... Just Chill

Additionally your thoughts on how Corporate America manages workstations is not only ignorant but wasn't ask for. So say good night and move on, this is just a helpful forum!

7 is a very good OS, but many of us mess around with progs without a VM, if you think a reg cleaner is absolutely necessary, I'd suggest Tuneup Utilities 2010 - with a little tweaking it's just great! It has never, I repeat never- let me down. Unlike Revo, Ccleaner and the rest. I've tested them, more or less all of them.

Tune Up Utilties and the rest do absolutely nothing. They waste money. Use Disk Cleanup instead.

Really? If you already have all the programs, applications and media you need, installed on a clean HDD, running an OS with no factory bloatware , and you have never uninstalled anything, why would you need to clean the registry?

You're right at this point as the registry doesn't get messed up if nothing happen to move....
BUT things are not like that really, you do have to do some cleaning 'cause you might use updates and clean will delete old updates, applications and leave in the registry some traces/old Keys...ex: silverlight, old decrompressed pathes, and so on....so a gentle clean is always welcome

You are right, maybe I was a bit too abrasive. I was just trying to point out that a little planning when setting up a new computer or fresh install of windows helps immensely.

It's been my experience that registry cleaners in general either don't do enough (having little or no effect) or they do a little too much, which is really bad. No registry cleaner is going to have the same effect that reinstalling windows and all programs does. When that isn't an option, I use NTRegopt. There are probably dozens of reg cleaners that do a better job but none of them are smaller (~480KB to download)

I wouldn't classify NTRegOpt as a registry cleaner. It compresses the registry reducing wasted space without cleaning anything.

I use both Ccleaner and Advance System Care. Never had an issue with either of them. The important thing to remember is to use the back up feature when running either program.

Iobit advanced system care is a really good one i was using on XP.

But be aware when cleaning the system services to don't disable registry keys you might think useless. Could be quite a pain crashing down the machine.

I leave that option unchecked prior to scanning.

Umm, no offence , but I've seen a marked improvement in performance,period. When my pc was bogged down with invalid reg entries (Also, you have to keep an eye out for reg entries that are being cleaned-no matter what the cleaner is)... it also determines the need for defrag. Win defrag takes up so much time that it's useless for me . Utilities for windows are just that- utilities, not a perfect solution to all problems. One has to use one's common sense, and other experts' for that matter .

Peace !

I think every forum has it's own policy regarding how many idle hours can a user be logged on for. Admin can clear that up. I don't think it's TU 2010. I also have it.

to those anti registry cleaner posters

try using use a portable reg cleaner (there are a number of free portable reg cleaners so you don't even have to buy or install it) and see how many entries are marked for deletion

have a look at the flagged entries and see if there is reference to things no longer on the hard drives, hard drives or pen drives no longer installed or connected, reference to optical drives once used to install programs

would like to hear your findings if you will

in just running a portable program, you will likely find registry entries pointing to the drive (the usb you used) and/or the program itself once the program is shut down and the usb drive removed

windows registry bloat is inevitable
it’s your choice whether you want to try and deal with it

as for installing a suite of programs on a fresh OS install and leaving it as is – get real
I assume we are dealing with real life and personal computers here
even if you do not install any further software, your registry will on goingly fill up with crap in time through general use, updates, deletions etc etc etc

end of rant

cheers

For those of you who think Registry Cleaners do not work , download RegShot 1.8.2

Start this program, take a first snapshot, then run your registry cleaner, then take a second snapshot and then Compare

Try this with CCleaner as well just or fun.

BTW,I worked 6 years in IT at a public library and we were being asked to install Office, program updates, and new software that we had purchased.

That's a real work environment.

.. a registry cleaner is - if at all - a tool reserved for the experienced user. The inexperienced may be assured that since the introduction of Windows XP, registry cleaning is no longer a crucial issue for the stability, security and performance of your system. Don't mess around with it!

For those who have an OCD about a clean registry ...
The only good registry cleaner is a fresh install of Windows.
It'll fix anything that might be a real problem...
Including any registry errors the cleaners may have caused.

Yea, I'd like to do that every week.

That's how much I use my Registry Cleaner.

 

[noyb]

It only takes me about 15 minutes to perform a fresh install, fully loaded, mostly updated, and ready to run ..
This takes care of anything that may be bugging me... Including my clean registry OCD

True!! And wished a fresh install could have fixed/reallocated my previous XP hdd!!

Have only ever used CCleaner and have never in all the years of having it on the old XP Pro
and now on the laptop, had a single problem.
