I never use these because they seem to create more problems than they are supposed to fix. If your registry is that messed up, you're probably better off reformatting.
To edit, I just do it the old way by "Run" then "regedit" and do it that way. Before you do ANYTHING though, use ERUNT. It will back up and restore your *ENTIRE* registry, which **includes all the hidden unknown support files**. It's free. They also have a registry optimizer, but if it's as good as ERUNT, then maybe the optimizer is also good. http://www.larshederer.homepage.t-online.de/erunt/ -Clint God Bless Clint Hamilton, Owner http://www.OrpheusComputing.com ----- Original Message ----- Are there any good registry tools for clean up and editing that are freeware? I have run an older version of RegClean and also The latest (6.0) version of Registry Mechanic. After running Registry Mechanic, RegClean found over 30Kb of material still to be removed. After running both of them, when I looked at the registry I thought that there was still a lot of material that had been missed (empty folders, references to programs that had been deleted etc.). Between them, I did not think they did a good job. Wally ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
