What Registry Cleaner / Tune Up App?

I've got a couple of things I use.
Registryfix (regsitryfix.com) Works great and finds just about everything.

Also Innovative solutions system optimizer - this is good as you just sort out your initial settings then you just click and it does it's work. (http://www.innovative-sol.com/)

I also use executive softwares diskeeper for daily defraging.

Hope this is what you were after

Thanks for the replies. I'll check out CCCleaner - it looks pretty good, and for free can't complain

I've also just ordered Diskeeper - I think I'm having problems with perfectdisk. The only worry I have is that Diskeeper is automated, and therefore stays resident in memory *doing things* - can this be switched off?

Cheers,

Martin

Diskeeper's settings are fully adjustable - you can set it to do what you want or just turn it off etc.
I leave mine set so it automaticlly defrags every night - never been a problem

Here's what I use (in order):

1. CCleaner (Reg scan first, then "Cleaner", and then Reg scan)
http://www.ccleaner.com/

2. Wise Registry Cleaner*
http://www.wisecleaner.com/

3. Auslogics Registry Defrag**

* I have tried Wise Disc Cleaner, but found it to be clumsy and complicated, although that was one or two versions ago. However, I do not use it nor can I recommend it.

** Looks like they have a disc defragmenter too, but I have yet to try it.


I have compared what these three apps do in tandem to what professional ($) apps do, and they work as well or better than the ones I compared them to. For disk optimization, I use PerfectDisk 8, after having seen it recommended on the RME forum by several folks. This is a very nice application that really speeds up your drive, as long as you configure it properly. If you don't tweak it a bit, it won't do much more than the Windows defrag utility.

Good luck!

I use these two very happily. I also use the Auslogics disk defrag, and it's pretty good. It seems fairly efficient (both fast and thorough), and it's also free.

One thing I noticed with CCleaner is that you want to run the Reg scan/fix multiple times, until the scan brings up no new items. (It seems that some problems get "masked" and don't appear until the others are removed.)

For registry cleaning I use Registry Mechanic by PC Tools at http://www.pctools.com/registry-mechanic/ and for tune up I use The Ultimate Troubleshooter (TUT) by AnswersThatWork at http://www.answersthatwork.com/ I am very happy with both.
