CCleaner. It's a free registry cleaner, and cleans junk from your computer as well.

I've tried these 10 free cleaners
http://www.regsofts.com/freeware/freereg...
I would recommend the following(click on the webpage and follow):
Free Windows Registry Repair(first one) - rather effective, the first scan i did after about a year showed over 500 problems with the registry, fixed them all
RegSeeker(2nd one) - fixed another 300 problems after using the previous one.
and like the two of them said, Eusing Free Registry Cleaner and Abexo Free Registry Cleaner(30 day trial)
Just run them all that'll fix most problems! But dont expect 100% fixes because programs might recreate registry entries when used and so a second scan might still show the same few errors. (ignore such errors)
those are all freeware, hope i'm of some help
Good Luck!
P.S. First go to: http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/defau... Choose full service scan and let it install any active x components

There is one that I have seen that is fairly good and was recommended by PC World magazine a few months back. It's named Eusing and is completely free. You can go to PC World's website and search their downloads for it or you can simply do a Google search for "Eusing" to find it elsewhere on the web.
But before you use this or any registry cleaning software BACK UP YOUR EXISTING REGISTRY. I repeat, BACK UP YOUR EXISTING REGISTRY!! I can't stress this enough. Messing around with the registry is serious business and unless you know what you are doing I would highly recommend leaving it to a professional. A trashed registry means one thing. reinstalling the O/S and that's not fun. I'm not trying to scare you but In my 18 years of networking experience I have seen too many systems trashed by people messing around with the registry when they haven't any idea of what they are doing.
Good luck!!!

tuneup utilities 2007 is very good. it is not free , it is a 30 day trial but it does just about everything! and it doesn't harm your system in anyway.
infact... it enhances the performance, optimises your internet connection, clears your memory cache etc...blah blah
its excellent!
easy to use interface too!
