Use CCleaner or Jv16

Why would you or anyone use a registry cleaner?

There are no proven facts that cleaning the registry makes a system
run faster.

On the other hand, it is proven that you can totally FUBAR a system by
running useless system "tools" like a registry cleaner.

Cleaning out cookies, browser add-ons, adware, and defragging a HDD are
about the only preventive mainenance a PC requires, and will solve 95% of
slow computer related problems.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

"Your system has achieved a perfect "TruStealth" rating. Not a single
packet — solicited or otherwise — was received from your system as a
result of our security probing tests. Your system ignored and refused
to reply to repeated Pings (ICMP Echo Requests). From the standpoint
of the passing probes of any hacker, this machine does not exist on
the Internet. Some questionable personal security systems expose their
users by attempting to "counter-probe the prober", thus revealing
themselves. But your system wisely remained silent in every way. Very
nice."

Mr. Gibson is a con man...you can use it as a reference...but that's
about it.
It's funny, this guy (OP) writes 3 ridiculous pages and you respond to
my post. If someone "wants" a registry cleaner the 2 I mentioned
Have .1% chance of causing a problem with the default settings.
As for stopping "Services" I will agree with you, of course.
