Does anyone have any experience of programs like REGCURE or REGEDIT ?
Are they ok to use ?

Don't splash cash when there are many tried and tested free variants
that do the same job. One thing you may find is that Windows will re-
introduce certain keys next time you reboot anyway, so you may find
the same ones cropping up time and time again regardless)

One i've found absolutely bulletproof is the one that comes with Crap
Cleaner (http://www.ccleaner.com) - it's not very vicious in
operation, but it's all the safer for it.

Crap Cleaner in itself is worth paying for, but it's actually free !

Also try Regseeker - again, had no problems with it, and it's possibly
a little more thorough in it's cleaning.

Once you've done that, consider using:

NTregopt from he http://www.larshederer.homepage.t-online.de/erunt
(which will compact the registry)

JKDefrag from he http://www.kessels.com/JkDefrag/
(a very nice and thorough defrag program)

... or buy a Mac ;-)
