To be quite honest, I have a bit of a funny feeling about Registry Cleaning programs.
I have used quite a few of them (Even so called 'professional' ones), and all of them have one thing in common: they promise you heavn on earth and deliver nothing.
How many times I have seen things advertised like: 'Your computer is running slowly, clean your registry', 'Your registry might have errors, clean them now and do your PC a favour', or, 'Keep your computer running smoothly, clean up your registry now'.
While it is true that a fault in the regiostry can cause problems with your PC, it is also true that the fault has to be diagnosed and fixed rpoperly in order to get thing sback up and running again.
The latter thing is something that Registry Cleaners do not seem to do.
I have often cleaned up my registry, and the program told me I had a certain number of errors, and when, after having seen they were all corrected, I ran the program again, I had roughly the same amount of errors again.
Or, when, after cleaning the registry with one program, I ran a different one, and there I got an enormous amount of registry errors again.
The best one is, after cleaning my registry, I never see any difference/improvement in the way my PC runs.
So, if anyone can recommend a Registry Cleaner that really does the job, fell free to let me know.
