best uninstall cleaner/registry clean

[Sylvanas]

title says it all, im currently using 'advanced uninstaller pro 2004' and was wondering if theres anything better on the market that cleans away registry fragments and unneeded files left over from installations. im willing to pay for a better one if need be.

I like RegCleaner for cleaning useless reg entries and then NT Reg Optimizer to compress it after you clean out the junk. No way to be 100% sure its doing much, but my systems seem to stay peppy longer 😉

if you compair what regcleaner finds to what jv16 finds you woudl be supprised

they were actually written by the same dude, but JV16 is newer and cleans out about 100x more crap

Is jv16 better than regseeker? I might test both to compare.

wow i tried Jv16 and it found hundreds of entries that are supposedly obselete or invalid etc. when other programs (AA tools, advanced uninstaller pro) found none.... thanks Anubis

I've played with RegSeeker, RegSupremePro and Ace Utilities.

They're all good utilities. Ace Utilities seems to have the better combination of power and safety-net for the less-technically-inclined (me).

RegSupremepro is powerful and seems a bit safer than RegSeeker.

RegSeeker is an excellent freeware program with a lot of power, but it's quite capable of hosing your system if you just push buttons with all options at default settings.

CrapCleaner seems to have a lot of fans.
