Are Registry Cleaners essential?
Are registry cleaners essential? if so, what are the latest MECH community reviews on the various software available?

No, but safe ones can help. I use CCleaner, and it's free.

here and there is desirable or even necessary sometimes, but random “cleaning”, especially for the novice, is inviting disaster. I also would like someone to show me any hard evidence that registry cleaning actually improves performance. (Unless there is a specific problem that has to be addressed by making changes to the registry)". more: Why I don’t use registry cleaners | Ed Bott's Windows Expertise Will a registry cleaner remove false positives (required registry entries)? All of them at times, but some are worse than others. Can using a registry cleaner lead to the Blue Screen of Death? You betcha! I have CCleaner installed and I regularly use some of it's convenient features, but never it's registry cleaner. |

I have been using CCleaner's registry cleaner for years and have yet to have it cause a problem. I don't even tell it to save backups.

I use the CCleaner registry cleaner after uninstalling software to remove stray file associations. I've yet to have a problem.

Great product, It is the last thing I do after a clean install... I install the drivers, MSE, updates, then run CCleaner. I to use it after install and uninstalls as well. I am also like glc in that I have never backed anything up and never had a problem. Their Defraggler product is very good as well.

Like glc, I also have been using CCleaner's registry cleaner for years and have no problems. I install it on every computer I build and fix.
