What is the best registry and junk file cleanup utility? Is system mechanic the best or is there something better?

Backup & reload? Better yet, install yourself a clean load and dump an image somewhere. That way you can easily restore it and it's already set the way you like it.

I keep telling myself to do that but do I? Of course not! ;) :p

^^ Best One ^^

iolo System Mechanic Engineer. All in one.
Cleans Registry, Junk Files, Duplicate files, you can even do advanced searches for deleting specific information.
Backs up files, Optimizes PC Settings, Configure Windows (advanced settings that you normally can't), AntiVirus (Panda), Anti-spyware, Defragmenter, Ahh too many in one.

It's the best hands down.

Actually there is No best since each one does its own way, and you really need to run few Utils. in order to clean most of the "Junked Entries".

I usually run the jv16 tools and SysMechanic.

Does Not matter which one I run first the other one one will always find more.
