IMO it's more of a preference of software.

I've tried 3 different ones, and they all work pretty much the same way. If you want a lot options, I would go with Advance System Optimizer or Uniblue's RegistryBooster

I hope you know what you're doing, because this ain't a tool cleaner for any kind computer user. It will prompt you to delete keys that may seem faulty or lead to nowhere when they actually do! And could mess up some things on XP. And is why I don't even really bother with em anymore cuz I don't know wtf I'm doing.

I've been using AMust registry cleaner and disk cleaner for a while now. Both seem to work pretty well for what they are designed to do.

I have used both Regcleaner http://www.worldstart.com/weekly-downlo ... ner4.3.htm

And also Ccleaner http://www.ccleaner.com/

Both are freeware and work well for me.

Hello,
AMUST Registry Cleaner is free and does a decent job. Been using it for about a year. Just don't get carried away and clean the registry too often.. there are risks. 8-[
