Good (SAFE!!) Registry cleaner program?

I am looking for a good, safe registry cleaner program that works under Windows 2000. Any suggestions?

I used to think that was RegCleaner was the best, but it only works best with Win95. I honestly think Reg Healer is better

These two cleaners work with WK2. I use both with no problems and they're free!

You're right about the free trial version of reg healer. It will only "heal" a few register at a time and the number gets progressively smaller. I paid the $20 and have been really pleased with the performance. Using reghealer and regular defragging keeps everything running clean and fast.

I tried JV16 on 2000 and had problems - so all I use now is M$ Regclean 4.1, I haven't found anything safer to use.

Use easycleaner (the toniarts one above), it works, I've used it on XP, ME, 98, and 95. It also has a neat thingie to see pie charts of your hdd disk usage. It also has several other features I don't use but you might find useful. Check it out. I also love the joke with the exit button caption, anyway...

Easycleaner. Works in all MS OS's, with no troubles.
In XP I like RegScrubXP.
jv16's reg cleaner can cause too many problems if not used properly.
