Arthur, Honestly, I don't think anyone needs to use one unless they've been infected by malware. I use ccleaner then. It doesn't list some of items others do but then sometimes these cleaners can cause problems by being too aggressive. I don't think I've ever had a system go bonkers because of ccleaner and I had from others in the past. Another registry trick that is mostly unneeded unless major problems have occurred is defragging the registry files. A simple one to use is Auslogics RegDefragger. I install it, use it and then uninstall it. There's probably a nice scripted way to do the same thing but I haven't run across it yet. Have fun, John B. -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Arthur Fuller Sent: Monday, September 05, 2011 11:52 AM To: Discussion of Hardware and Software issues Subject: [dba-Tech] Free Registry Repair tool Is there a free registry repair tool? I've Googled and Binged it and so far they all seeem to be come-ons -- they'll scan and tell you there are errors, and then offer you the chance to send money to get a version that actually does the repairs. Being retired and on limited funds, I want the whole thing for free. Anyone know of such a beast?
