Now you know I would never complain about your posting that link, Carlos.
Much less start a war on it. I value your contributions way too much for
that. I just hate these things as a waste of money, a waste of time, and
most importantly, a serious hazard. But it's caveat emptor - if folks want
to destroy their systems, who am I to stop them.

The felt "need" to use registry cleaners is like many holdover ideas from
Win9x days. I stopped worrying about where I put the paging file a long
time ago too.

I agree with Charlie that most of time you don't need a registry cleaner as
sometimes they make things worse. Anyway, if you indeed want a regcleaner,
try the following 2 as at least they won't destroy your computer on x64.



CleanMyPC x64 version

TweakNow Cleaner http://www.tweaknow.com/RegCleaner.html
