Smile Looking for a really free registry cleaner

Hello, I am running windows 2000 and might move up to xp soon if I need to. I installed AVG free anti-virus/spyware yesterday when Norton wants more money for their anti-virus renewal.

Currently looking for a truely free registry cleaning tool for windows 2000 or xp. It seems most of them are not free like AVG software and when they found 845 erros, they say I need to register for a full version for $29.99 per year or something.

Any recommendations anyone ?

Thank you kindly all for your recommendation of ccclean. I will give it a try. I also found RegCleaner which is very simple to use.
