I would appreciate your views on registry mechanic and xp repair pro ...
i have used reg mechanic for quite some time. now i am looking for a programme that may be better. that's if there is?

Win Doc Pro is pretty good.

I use Registry Mechanic. I like it and have never had any issues with it

used Registry Mechanic for 4 years no problems with it and it keeps the computer clean!

I use Uniblue Registry Booster and seems to work well along with a weekly Ultra WinClean , Diskeeper 8.0 defrag running in the background, and a plethora of spyware scanners, my machine seems to run pretty smooth. It's all about cleanliness( I wish I could get that through the kids heads
Now if I could just find my mouse in this mess.

I liked Jv16 powertools before the author sold it and it stopped being freeware. but yu can still get it and there is a standnalone of the registrry cleaner repair function of it called Reg supreme pro. I use that now, it only cost around 12.95

reg mechanic so far pretty good

why not use crap cleaner? It's free and does what those commercial programs do. Despite the name, it also has a registry repair function.

I find both useful

Thanks for the recommendation on Crap Cleaner. It worked great.
