MS Registry Cleaner

Hi all-knowing people out there.

Can anyone tell me the name and details of MS's Registry Cleaner. I've tried
searching MS's catalogue but no joy to date. (must be looking for the wrong
name :-)).
All I can remember is that the program icon was (I think) an exploded cube
in red???

TIA folks

Was that the *RegClean 4.1*??? I have copy on here but it doesn't work
on XP, I believe.

You can't find it because MS no longer offers it. It was never meant to
be used by the general public, if I recall the story correctly.

Cheers......Heather

You are probably right Heather, maybe it's the 20-20 vision of hindsight
:-), but now you remind me of the name it sounds familiar.

I don't run XP, just ME, I'm sure it worked on ME. Can you unmunge my addy
and send me the file?

TIA

The safest action -- avoid using a so-called Registry Cleaner.

Absolutely.

There is very little reason why a user should need such a "tool" which can
do immeasurable harm with little real benefit.

I've been using System Suite's registry fixer for over five years and a
friend has been using it since Ontrack wrote it over a decade ago. Some
registry fixers are crap, others aren't. It does make a difference in
performance, fixes things and I highly recommend it. Get it at

Hi Mike, The only problem I ever came across when using a reg cleaner
(RegSeeker), was to render unusable Control Panel/Add/Remove
programs/Windows Setup.
You emailed me a registry file to restore this function.
Could you remind me of the key ID and/or email me the file before I do
anything silly. :-)

FWIW Del......the Microsoft RegClean was the only program that I trusted
and it never let me down. It is *gentler* than a lot of the others. I
used RegSeeker once or twice, but just to track down bits left in the
Registry from programs I removed. And even then I was cautious.

Cheers.....Heather (and glad to hear you got it sorted out OK)
