Registry "fixers" fit under the Farmer's Rule, i.e:  If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

 

Problem is, though they come with "undo" features, you can create a problem you don't recognize for awhile down the line, then your undo also undoes things you have added or changed, so you end up spending time unnecessarily, reinstalling or whatever.

 

If you have a slow machine, you might end up with a faster registry by getting rid of long unused relationships, but with anything over say.. 1ghz,  the time is insignificant, and the potential problems can be time wasters as mentioned above.  Most of the "problems" are not.  Any real problem you can and will fix other ways.

Anyone with experience with Registry Mechanic?

 

It finds 733 problems on my PC, while Norton Utilities finds only 4.

 

Seems like they count problems differently ... but several hundred problems seems a little absurd ...

 

Appreciate your feedback ... about Registry Mechanic ... about Norton  ... about your favorite
