Hello Carbon & other Folks!
Don use Registry Cleaners?...Carbon, it seems you are going too far from reality! No. of Guys even don know on how to access Windows Registry & No. of "GOOD" Registry cleaners do offer that flexibility & expertise to the Novice & avert all hassles!
Its a "Periodic RITUAL" for me to clean my System atleast once a month in the order of:: >>
Clear Junk Files using any one of the popular names.
>>
Run a "Registry Cleaner" & wipe off those obsolete & redundant entries using likes of Auslogics FREE registry Cleaner OR WISE Registry cleaner OR AML one.....there are literally LOADS of these!
>>After cleaning JUNK, I
go for "Registry Defragmentation" using QuickSys utility.
>>
Finally, the "File Defragmentation" using MyDefrag.
It really keeps my System running at an OPTIMUM Levels.
