What is the best registry cleaner I can use it, is really safe and accurate?
I am really picky on my laptop and it is clean makes me feel safe and my pc works really very fast. I'm a gamer and I uninstall a lot of games and software every day, but when I take a look in the registry, I see the files with my games uninstalled still there. I use CCLEANER, but it will not erase all unnecessary files. I wanted to know what microsoft recommends that we use to make computers much cleaner and faster, users of windows 7.
It is not a safe or recommended registry cleaning utility.
The registry requires no cleaning, and entered orphan make no difference.
Software however badly written, its installation options & removal can cause problems.
Its not recommended to use the registry CCleaner module.
You can of course manually clean your registry database, to remove the orphan entries

What happened to Windows Live Clean Up scan (registry cleaner)? It was very useful (for me at least)
This registry cleaner from Microsoft has been the only tool that I could trust because most of the time (unlike other cleaning products), he finds entries that were truly wrong. And although many say that registry cleaning is not really effective, this isn't what I've lived with this cleaner. I see that now Windows Live Safety Center and Windows Live OneCare were dropped, and only a virus scan is now supported with Microsoft Security Essentials. But what about the Clean Up scanner? If it was not supported in any other form it is a real mistake in my humble OPINION.
Hi AlexKn80,
The tool is now available from Microsoft.
You can post your concerns or comments in respect of the issue or any other application, please visit the link below and send the same:

What is the best way to correct the registry errors without the use of a registry cleaner in XP?
I am sorry to raise this issue that so many people who have asked me. I read pages and pages of discussions on the MS forum on this subject, and without exception, all the experts said Microsoft registry cleaners are completely unnecessary and that junk in the registers has no performance impact at all. Instead, they say, to do x, y and z. I am running Windows XP on my desk for five years, and gradually, he got so slow it's almost unbearable. It takes 10-15 minutes just to start, and sometimes it takes 2 minutes or more just to open a window of browser (IE8) or go to the previous page by using the arrow to the left. Before you tell me all the things it could be, please let me say that:
1. my PC has not always been this slow! It is getting worse.
2. all my Windows software is up to date. I have automatic updates on.
3. I have a lot of disk space, almost 75% of free space on a hard drive of 80 GB.
4. my PC is free of viruses, spyware and Trojans. I have McAfee antivirus running and I also sometimes run Malwarebytes and Trojan Killer, because they always find things that don't have McAfee.
5. I defragment my hard drive on a regular basis.
6. I regularly delete all my temporary files by using the Windows Disk Cleanup utility.
7. I have very little, if any "Add-ons". No toolbar Yahoo or Google (or Bing!).
8. I removed nearly every program that I start, so that they are not running in the background.
9. I uninstalled all the programs that I don't use.
However, I still have a slow ever-more computer. Sometimes, when I see ads on TV to increase the speed of my PC, I download the 'free' software, and they claim to find hundreds or thousands of "registry errors. When I look at the newspapers, I see many entries in registry for 'Netscape' and 'Google Earth', which I uninstalled years ago, as well as entries for the videos that I downloaded, seen once, and deleted a long time ago.
So, what's the problem? If it's not related to my registry (which Trojan Killer says has more 6 000 entries!), what else could be? I would appreciate greatly any advice you can give, because there are dozens of companies on their touting their registry cleaners and the uninstall (for a price) programs, and after reading reviews of the MS MVPs, I'm skeptical of their claims. Thank you. :)
I can't disagree with a lot of things have already been said.
I'm willing to accept that your machine does actually takes 10 to 15 minutes on the clock. It's completely absurd.
Some people call your "Windows Rot" problem. Becomes just the slower windows over time. It is a collection of things that are happening in the background. Yes I believe that the register contributes. Using a registry cleaner is not a "magic" solution But it can help a little.
The PC care program/process you described is above average. I suggest you add CCleaner. Disk Cleanup is not bad, CCleaner is better, cleaning of other stuff which does not resemble the DC. It won't be a significant difference because disk space is not your problem, but it will help a little.
'Play' with the registry is VERY risky. If you decide to go ahead, I would say that first make you a copy of the full image backup using a utility that can be started and run from a CD/DVD. Just in case the registry cleaner breaks of your machine.
Registry cleaners is that they take a "best estimate" to what is no longer necessary. Sometimes they think wrong. And each vacuum cleaner will clean slightly different sets of places. If the tool does not provide a way to back up the registry before you start cleaning, do not use it. He is not careful enough.
If vacuuming offer 'levels' of cleaning, enjoy. Open for more aggressive cleaning, with resetting and long series of normal use between cleanings.
You are looking for a tool which also makes registry "defragmentation". The registry is a database that get disorganized by additions and deletions. Defragmentation will be re - organize and get rid of a 'lost' space, making it the smallest file, afterwards faster to read. It is not something you need to do frequently, but since you've never done it in 5 years, it would help, after cleaning registry.
Another place to find CPU and RAM wasted resources is Windows Services. These are small programs that start at boot time. They run in the background and provide support services to all applications or specific applications. Many applications services are running even though you don't really need them. You can find information on which you can set by Googling for 'Windows XP hardening'. There are a lot of sites with good information. They call it hardening because by disabling unnecessary stuff, you leave less possible openings for the "bad guys" to the attack.
Ultimately, I think your best bet will simply bite the bullet and re - install windows and all your applications. It's the best way to restore your computer to almost any performance fees factory. (It is not exactly factory fresh because you need to add a ton of Windows updates).
Before you re-install, do copy image 1 or more full backups. At least one must be done using a tool that will easily allow you to extract the files. You data backup files separately to make it easier to restore the reinstallation. IE, copy it to a USB key.
Many "experts" actually expect to, and do, re - install windows every 6-12 months! I think it's a bit exaggerated, but they swear by it.
Once you do your re - install, create a copy of the magnified image
Install a firewall application (before the windows updates)
Once you do all updates of windows, create a copy of the magnified image
After that you re-install all your apps, create another copy of the complete picture.In this way, in the future, you have more current points to restore your computer to. It will reduce the time you spend to get back to the current configuration.
On a 5 year old XP machine, you have probably 512 MB - 1 GB of RAM. You might also consider taking in the shop (or DIY) and bump the RAM up to at least 2 GB or better still max out. The current versions of the applications use much more memory than they did 5 years ago. Even XP will be since he has been seriously corrected since then.

The CCleaner registry cleaner reports "invalid or empty the file class."
Original title: when using CCleaner (cleaning the registry), the only problem that arises is; 'Class file invalid or empty', how can I solve this problem?
After using CCleaner, registry cleaner, CCleaner is displayed the following problem;
Problem: Invalid or empty the file class
Data:.tif\openWithProgids\MSPaper.Document
Registry key: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\fileExts\.tif\OpenWithProgids
How can I solve this problem once and for all?
When I use 'Registry Cleaner' "CCleaner" from the program for "chose to solve problems", it doesn't permanently solves the problem, as whenever I run the CCleaner program at a later date, it is here once again!
I have the 32-bit version of Windows XP service pack 3 and Windows Explorer 8, is installed on this desktop computer.
Please, help me to solve this problem.
Thank you for any help you can give me!
The problem with registry cleaners in general is that they often report "of the problems' when there is no problem. If the user actually deletes an entry from the registry in response to such a notice, then it could well be a problem.
Just because you have not known - again - a problem with the Ccleaner registry cleaning tool does not mean that you won't. Because the 'cleansing' of the registry has not been shown to have an effect on the performance of the system, the risk of deleting something important makes use of stupid registry cleaners. Read the two links in my previous post.
As I wrote originally, the 'problem' reported by Ccleaner is probably due to his inability to properly manage the data type "REG_NONE" in the registry key.
The way to fix this is to ignore and stop using Ccleaner registry that tells you that there is a 'problem '.

Is it necessary to have a registry cleaner?
I currently have Max Registry Cleaner on my PC.
However, brief conversations with various friends and computer specialists, over the past months, I have the impression that they seem to think having a Registry Cleaner is a waste of space on a computer and is not necessary.
Can you give me some advice on this, please?

I don't know if Microsoft Essentials is also a record. I don't know a lot about the registry, but asked me to buy one after that I ran the free scan. The analysis said that I had more than 100 errors. I don't know if they are just trying to sell me something I don't need it or not.
I searched the Microsoft site but did not find anything as a registry cleaner.

You say Microsoft Essentials. Do you mean Microsoft J.4 Essentials or something else? Where do you have it?
Microsoft Security Essentials is an excellent anti-virus software, but he's not trying to sell you anything. What you describe looks like you are infected by a malware program trying to sell you something.

Hello
ALL registry programs that claim they can cure a lot of system errors is a warning
that you don't want on your system. Even the best registry programs rarely solve
problems in the system. All registry programs too often similar such as RegCure cause serious problems.
There are a few good registry programs but they do not have these ridiculous allegations
and they really need to be used by an expert who knows how to recover from a hiccup.ALWAYS make a Restore Point before you do systemic work.

Your registry cleaner allows you to make a backup? If so, use it.
If this is not the case, do a system restore to the date before the execution of the registry
cleaner.Here is my standard message on the subject:

Registry Cleaner deleted files needed to run Vista
original title: Registry Cleaner Messed Up Vista!
Well, I ran a registry cleaner on my Vista computer. Now, it has removed the elements of my system I guess it shouldn't have. I can't do anything. I try the system restore, but it doesn't have the necessary files for it or something. It does not connect to the internet. When I try to reinstall vista it says also the information on disk is not found. So I'm really worried now. Can someone help me please!
And now you know why the registry cleaners are bad. If the program has an undo feature, use it. If it is too late for that, back up your data and do a restore clean factory/install of Windows. If you tried to do a factory restore (if that's what you mean by "try to reinstall vista [translation]... the information on disk is not found") and it fails, the registry cleaner probably destroyed the original hard disk image. Communicate with technical support of computer mftr. and the purchase of recovery disks. This is normally not very expensive. And do not use Registry cleaners/optimizers once again.
