[dba-Tech] Junk in the Registry

I've used both, and prefer Reg Cure.  The biggest problem is that if you 
haven't been keeping up with artifacts in the registry they grow like a 
bloody weed.  Once the registry is "clean" it's a much easier task. 
Installing and/or uninstalling large applications (including those from M$) 
leave an enormous amount of crap behind.
