Default Free Windows ME Registry Cleaners

Hi Heirloom,

Just a small hint, make sure the restore feature on these cleaners works
in a Safe Mode boot. Not all of them do and if the backup is not in a
..reg file (and most aren't) you'll be paddling upstream indeed if the pc
can only boot to safe mode and you can't restore the backup.

Noel,
Far be it from me to "paddle upstream" in your knowledge, however, I
have found the last free version (and probably, the pay version) of jv16
Power Tools ver. 1.3 and Crap Cleaner (new version out a short time ago,
www.ccleaner.com ) are both quite good. I do monitor what is being removed,
but, have never had the need to change anything and, both programs provide a
backup that can be kept in the remote instance that something does go awry.
Any registry modifying tool does, of course, have to be used
judiciously. Do you not find these within the grasp of most any new user,
so long as that user understands the need for backup?
Sure don't want to step on any toes here, I highly respect your opinions
and knowledge.
Heirloom, old and humbled by the
mere presence

There are none - unless backed up by a knowledge of the registry from the
user of such tools.

Hi

Does anyone know of any free registry cleaners that do a great job of
cleaning unwanted registry entries from Windows ME?

Please reply soon.

Thanks.
