best free XP registry cleaner?

Hey guys.. just googling around for top free registry cleaners.. so many damn choices out there.

 

I'm reading that some are not thorough enough (yet safer as a result) while others are too agressive / thorough (but can cause potential problems in the process). I suppose it's all about balance.

 

Out of curiosity, if you have used any (which preferably does cleanup, repair and defrag), which ones would you personally recommend?

I never could find a legally free one that will find the registries and delete them. They do tell the location and you can manually do it one by one. I did that, but I accidently deleted the wrong registry. Boom, my XP installation is destroyed.  ;D

There isn't anything to know. Just right click the registry and delete. Take a chance! Russian Roullete!  :suicide:

 

More than anything unless you are going to do it illegally, your gonna have to buy it, but who knows what the rest of this community knows.

lol yeah, I hear ya. I gave it a shot.. seems to have done well. Cleaned out tons of built up crap (over 300megs) of a combination of things (registry and browser temp files and the like).

 

I like the GUI.. pretty clean, simple and professional looking. Very easy to navigate and understand.

Thanks for the suggestion MadTechie. I don't use IE however.

As for pcTools, I currently can't afford much, as money is really tight at the moment, but something to keep in mind. I'll have a quick gander at the website.

 

Thanks again  :)
