I was just wondering is it wise to use a Registery cleaner, when you have had your windows installed for some time.

I use adware and SPY blaster, but i was looking at down loading a free Registery program and hopefully doing and auto CLEAN, But is there a risk with this and if not do you know what is a good Reg cleaner.fly.....Just a word of advice......if your going to play around in the registry....make sure you have a backup before you start making changes .......As far as free registry cleaners........I would be a little cautious........Which ONE were you thinking about D/L ?
I use a registry cleaner called registry FIRST aid.....but like most apps it doesn't get everything. It does a decent job despite missing the odd thing .
If you've had Win whatever installed for a while , there is no doubt , a lot of odds and sods in the registry that are left over from installs and removals ......
Just proceed with caution in the registry .....

let us know

dl65 Try RegClean from MS. It makes a backup of everything it removes and it can be easily restored. As previously stated, no one program is perfect, but this MIGHT be the safest.
