There are a few free registry cleaners. Unfortunately, they aren't on par with commercial registry cleaners. Fred Langa, of Informationweek, has a great review article on both free and commerical registry cleaners
"Langa Letter: Testing 10 Windows 'Registry Cleaning' Software Packs:
Fred Langa tries to make sense of wildly disparate claims, and rates the best free and commercial products."

As for myself, I have tried several registry cleaners, both freeware and commercial. The best "for pay" registry cleaner I have come across is TuneUp Utilties 2006. It's accurate and efficient. Personally, I think it outshines Iolo's System Mechanic and Norton's SystemWorks. It has a 30 day trial period if you want to try it. The download link is http://www.tune-up.com/
As for free registry cleaners, I would recommend CCleaner. You can select which portion of the registry you want to scan for errors. CCleaner will create a registry backup before cleaning anything. It doesn't do a deep scan but it is free. Fred Langa recommends EasyCleaner but I've used it and found CCleaner found more errors and gave me more control over what to scan and fix. You can download both programs at BetaNews.com (www.betanews.com), just enter the program name in to the search box and search for all downloads.

3B Software is excellent. I got it free from PC Magazine in a copy my son purchased for me a couple of months ago. You might look on line for the name and a site where you can download it.
