I use RegSeeker .. really it's quite a decent one Do look at each entry
here for cleaning and selectively exclude items as for me it is not mapped
drive/network share aware. Probably 'somewhat safe to delete all items
RegSeeker marks as safe to delete but you should still read each - windows
is easy to format/install even if you let it screw you, which I think would
be difficult even for a just do it now type impatient teeny bopper.
If you have a well aged windows install it will find a ton of waste and it
may be wise to just look over a page or so in any one day and let it
make .reg back ups before you exclude or delete.
Funny, the guys with no qualms boasting they're formatting and installing
windows fresh every 6 months are afraid of registry cleaners because then
they wont have reason to format/re-install anymore. Just kidding ;)
