Re: How Do You Tell If You Need A Free Registry Cleaner Program?

From: "smlunatick" <yveslec@xxxxxxxxx>

| Most Registry cleaners should now be consider as Registry Breakers.
| These will clean the Registry soo much that several times the Registry
| fails to load correctly. If you still want to use one of these
| cleaners, export the currect registry first so if the "cleaned"
| registry fails to start, you can restore (merge) the "backup" registry
| in order to fix it.
