EasyCleaner for Registry repair and space saving tool working successfully?

[Frank Callone]

I have heard that EasyCleaner removes unnecessary registry keys and values.
Does it work ? How does EasyCleaner detect that a registry is not necessary any longer?
Does someone had problems after applying this software?

I use EasyCleaner all the time. In past versions there were some problems,
but they have been fixed.

[[EasyCleaner is a small program which searches Windows' registry for
entries that are pointing nowhere.]]

This means that it can find entries that point to locations that are no
longer there. I.e.
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 5.0 when Acrobat 5.0 is no longer on the
machine.

As with any tool mistakes can happen.

If you don't know what you're doing, you'd be better off to skip using this
program. ;-)

I use EasyCleaner and have had no problems with it at all. It has one
function, however, that I find to complicated to use, and therefore I don't
use that function, the duplicate files option. Stay away from that, but the
rest is easy...just make sure you have the restore function activated before
you do anything.

Do a google and search for the product: here I'll save you some time, 'cause
you're obviously lazy or can't trust yourself to search and read up on a
subject:

Slow system performance may be due to an accumulation of unused Registry
files, usually the result of faulty file installation and uninstallation.
EasyCleaner is a small program that searches Windows' Registry for entries
that are pointing nowhere, and creates a list from which you can delete them

I forgot to mention that...

[[EasyCleaner creates .REG-file from all entries deleted on the same
session, and by double-clicking the *.REG-file you can add those previously
deleted entries back to the registry.] i.e. EasyCleaner makes backup (Undo
files) that you can use to replace something that you deleted using
EasyCleaner.]]

Does it work ? How does EasyCleaner detect that a registry is not
necessary any longer? Does someone had problems after applying this
software?

BAR: He's not asking how to find the program, he's asking for user's
opinions of it. If you can't give an answer without being insulting, what
the hell are you doing here? Arrogant jerks like you just discourage people
from asking for help when they need it.
Don't bother replying, I'm too old to waste my few remaining years on the
likes of you.

I use it regularly for XP, as I did for Windows 98. It's one of
the free tools I would never be without. Not a single problem has
it ever caused me.

Avoid these programs like the plague unless you know exactly what you are
doing -- and also know enough to choose manually which registry keys to
delete instead of relying on the program to do it for you. But if you knew
enough to do that, you wouldn't need the program in the first place.

Also ask yourself this question: what exactly do you hope to gain by using
the program? A few nanoseconds of performance, or a few more kilobytes of
memory? To get this "gain," how long do you have to spend messing with the
program (downloading, running, updating, etc) to gain those few nanoseconds?
And how do you know that you gained even those few nanoseconds? Does the
program include a method for measuring the performance gains that it is
supposed to give you? And all of this leaves aside the very important fact
that when these programs don't cause you a major problem sooner or later,
consider yourself very lucky. VERY lucky. And if you don't beat the odds,
the very first time that you spend fixing the problems -- if you can -- will
cost you far more time than you will ever save (which is virtually no time
all) from using the program.

Bottom line: XP runs well on its own, if you let it operate the way
Microsoft designed it to operate. If it ain't broke, don't mess with it. If
you really want better performance that you will actually notice and enjoy,
keep your disks defragged, keep your system up to date and free of crudware
(viruses, spyware, ad nauseum), and have a fast CPU and lots of RAM.

Hi Frank,

Check with the programmer. As per what the rest here thought you meant, as
it has been an XP issue for over 3 years, they have submitted a fix.
