For someone who doesnt know alot about computers,can someone help me with cleaning registry?

Question

I do have the microsoft regclean updated version and need to know when I clean the registry,how do I know what to delete and what not to?Thanks for the help.

Answer 1

Registry is a very complicated area and a small error can lead to a complete operating system failure. So what i recommend is to use Tuneup utilities 2006 which is an excellent software to do one click maintenance, fix errors in registry and clean up hard drive temp files etc. I found it excellent in my use. You can go for a 30 day full version at www.tune-up.com (still after 30 days, you can use full version but you need to wait for some 180 - 400 secs, worth waiting!). Try it. Please don go for the registry cleaner softwares available in plenty in net, as it always gave me troubles.

All the best.

Answer 2

The windows registry is very touchy and most of the time it's a good idea to leave it alone. If you must edit your registry back up your important information, because deleting the wrong thing can leave you computer in need of a complete reinstall of windows. (It's that serious) If you must clean your registry leave it to a reputable piece of software is my best advice.
