Seeking recommendations on a Registery Cleaner
Hello and thanks for the help,
I'm looking for a Registry Cleaner for Windows XP Pro SP2. I want to remove
the Registry entries left behind by software that fails to completely
uninstall.
I've recently purchased a new machine. The manufacturer added software that
I didn't want. After uninstalling this software, I discovered a large
number of Registry entries remaining related to this software (examples:
MusicMatch, Word Perfect).
I also installed and uninstalled some software (Activestate Perl) and found
that it left behind Registry entries and system settings (it failed to
remove it's folder from the system PATH variable).
On my old 98 and ME machines, I used RegCleaner 4.3 by Jouni Vuorio
(freeware). I've searched the net for an XP equivalent (found several), but
I have not found a recommendation that I trust for any of the offerings. So
I'm coming to this newsgroup for recommendations.
Again, on Windows XP Pro SP2, I want to remove the Registry entries left
behind by uninstalled software, as well as restoring any system settings
(where possible).
Thanks for the help,
DG
