Registry Cleaner for WinXP Pro...

[retroborg]

Hi,
I would like to scan & clean my WinXp Pro registry from all the garbage which will have undoubtfully gathered over the past 2 years!

So, which do you guys recommend? A free one preferably...

Thanks in advance.

ccleaner

Though after years of cleaning with various tools and so on, I've come to the conclusion it's usually better to leave all the rubbish in

Again, CCLeaner is really good.

CCleaner ftw

[03peacheym]

tune up utilities is good aswell

[Pegasus123]

CCleaner, one of the best registry cleaners on earth

[mat-ster]

Piriform Defraggler is also very good,
The reg cleaner and uninstall feature of CCleaner works really good too...

one more for ccleaner

Baku is another great program:

Key features:

**** The registry is automatically backed up before any changes are made
Registry scan removes unused and obsolete keys, including ActiveX/COM, Application Paths, Fonts, Help files, Icon files, Sound files, Uninstall Programs, and Windows Installer.
Deletes empty folders, 'History' folder contents, 'Recent documents' folder contents, 'Temp' folder contents, temporary internet files, and cookies.
Searches Windows log files, shortcuts to missing files, and folders and user specified file types.

How does that differ to ccleaner?

Exactly

And since everybody recommends CCleaner, I thought it worth offering Baku as an addition/alternative, since it does an equally good job

Comodo registry cleaner - came across this a few weeks back, and was amazed by the amount of stuff it cleared out.

There's also a portable version you can run from a flash drive.

My portableapps loaded USB stick has Defraggler, CCleaner and Revo Uninstaller on it.
