Re: Registry cleaner

Hi

NO - please let XP manage the Registry for you. If you try and use one of
these so called Registry 'cleaners' all kinds of problems can and do arise -
including a non-bootable system.

Hey everybody, and thanks in advance for your help. Do you happen to know
a
good registry cleaner that is free to use and won't add to the mayhem in a
pc? Something that can address errors for admin. rights, etc. TX
