Registry Cleaner value on a 32-bit Vista Ultimate
Posted on 2010-11-22
In the EE Knowledgebase, there are conflicting opinions on the value of a registry cleaner. I have a mountain of programs installed. I do not wish to reformat and re-install tons of programs. Microsoft does not include a registry cleaner with Vista Ultimate. Is using a registry cleaner helpful with a 32-bit Vista Ultimate for someone who does install and un-install many programs? Does using a registry cleaner offer more benefits than risks in my case?
PS. I have already reduced the number of programs that run at start up time.

Welcome adp002 to EE. Using a registry cleaner causes more problems than it fixes IMHO (plenty of in house experience fixing computers). The best software for uninstalling that I have used (if the built in windows "programs and features" uninstallation utility in the control panel isn't working for you is the Revo Uninstaller. They have a free 30 day trial at:

I'm glad to know that you think using a registry cleaner causes more problems than it solves. That's what I've been thinking. Thanks for the input. Happy Thanksgiving!
