Registry Cleaners

[ComputerTeacher]

I see lots of ads for Registry Cleaners, such as Uniblue Registry Booster at
http://www.liutilities.com/products/registrybooster/. Are these types of
programs helpful? Can anyone link me to a website where I can get more
info?
Thanks,
Jeremy

They are NOT suggested. Use of one *may* cause more problems that not using one at all.

Thanks for your response Dave. Is there an alternative way to clean up my
registry?

There is no real reason to do so ad hoc.

There are some utilities which can help clean up portions of the
registry, relatively safely. I've been using cCleaner, and Spybot for
a few years now and haven't had a problem. I have heard tho' that a
number of utilities out there are variable - some if used improperly
can damage registry entries.
