I have tried using regseeker but couldn't really get to grips with it. I deleted the green entries but still have about 500 red entries listed. Don't feel brave enough to go any futher with it.

Any suggestions (easy ones! )

Honestly, i think most people will tell you that ccleaners reg analyzer does a good enough job. Cleaning your registry speeds up your computer to an extent. But if you go to far, it wont work at all. Most agree that cleaning the registry is only done if you want, because of the seriouseness of the consiquences (sp?) if you screw it up.

I use TuneUp Utilities 2006-and it rocks! Its not freeware, but worth every penny. Easy to use, lots and lots of features, and does all kinds of neat stuff. And it explains all the stuff it will do before doing it. :shocking:

Thanks for the replies. As you know I always use ccleaner, but the reg. is a scary place and, I agree it MUST be treated with caution. :shocking:

I wil probably soon h ave some registry tweak guides up soon for you guys.

I uue CCleaner Issues Scanner, and the following programs:
