Hi guys, looking for the best registry cleaner around. Something without spyware of course, if it's free would be better but nowadays good things usually doesn't come free, a trial period is a must though.I've read about some that even defrag and/or compress the registry, is ok to do that? With so many utilies to choose from I would like to hear your experiences with such programs.Thanks in advance,Carlos.

JV16 Power Tools.http://www.jv16.org/Cleans the Registry and a whole lot more. We use it at work, and I bought it to use at home - it is that good. Earlier versions were freeware and you can still find those on the web.Allcott

Thanks Allcott, I'm now using the 30 day full trial version and indeed is a very powerfull program.Carlos.

hi, just an idea...i use a disk-imaging-program, like from acronis. Purchased especially for backups, i work with inkremential images to simply rollback any (!!!) changes of some crap u installed. ;)chris
