Lately I've been using PC Pitstop Optimize, which is advertised on this site somewhere I recently saw, and it too is very effective.

Modifying the registry manually I will do because I know _exactly_ what I am doing. Programs which attempt to detect and repair errors can seriously mess up your system. Granted the odds of this are probably remote, I still avoid them. The reward of a potential few blinks of an eye in performance gain are not worth the risk of seriously messing up your system.

Are these reliable? Many of them would be very confusing when decisions are given to the user. The explanations are usually way above the heads of most computer operators.
