You know it's impossible for me to provide you with all the registry entries I removed. The computer isn't mine but a client's who lives cross town. Whether you believe me or not isn't material to me. I know both registry fixers work so I use them on every machine I encounter and have been doing this for years with no problems. If that isn't good enough for you, well, so be it.

Likely running some anti spyware programs would have fixed it. I don't
like to see clutter in the registry either, but I've never noticed any
change in performance after cleaning my registry, and yes, I
periodically 'clean' my registry. It's sort of like cleaning the
backseat of my car. It doesn't make it run better, but it makes me
feel better. FYI, I'm using an older version of Registry First Aid
3.04 and I do backup registry with Erunt prior to using it.


The program I use, SystemSuite5 doesn't just "clean" the registry, it will suggest pointing entries to where they belong as well instead of deleting them. As an example, on one computer I couldn't complete defrag so I ran SystemSuite's registry defrag and then the XP defrag could complete its task.

There are registry tools and then there are registry tools.
