What to Look for in a Vista Registry Cleaner
Vista registry cleaner products are less common than those for the others Windows operating systems since Vista was just launched in January of 2007. Still, there are quite a few software downloads available as solutions for Vista registry repair. Just like XP and Windows 2000 operating systems, Vista contains a registry and requires specific products to fix corrupt registry files. Many of the file and key types to be scanned by a Vista registry cleaner are the same as those in other operating systems, but you will still need to utilize a product designed to work specifically with Vista files. What Attributes are Vital in a Vista Registry Cleaner? Make sure that the software that you are about to download is designed to work with Vista. This may seem obvious, but you can cause yourself more damage than its worth if you use products only designed for Windows 2000 and XP registry repair. When possible, aim to have an Internet Explorer scan and cleaner feature available in the registry software. Vista places a strong focus on Internet Explorer file structures....

Sure you could run one, remove some "un-necessary" keys perhaps and do no harm... but there is always the possibility of doing harm...so it's not worth the risk. Considering that there are thousands of registry entries. (Maybe someone else could give an estimate) it's not too likely removing a few keys that may no longer be needed would actually do anything to improve your system. For definite registry problems... it's best left to an expert who can do so manually. FWIF: Since I am an experimenter (of sorts) and have expendable machines available... I have tried many registry cleaners and though they did not always seem to hurt anything... there were a numbers of times they did cause some minor damage. I am sure that had a fooled around some more...I may have seen worse results. OTOH: After running a registry cleaner...there was certainly never any improvement made in the way the machine performed. Such things as running anti-spyware utilites, disk cleanup and defrag generally do have noticable positve results. (my 2 cents worth anyway) |
