Best Registry Cleaner/Uninstaller?

[manofstyle]

What do you guys think is the best program for removing all traces of programs from the registry (after I uninstall them)? I know I can do it manually in regedit, but I thought maybe there's a good program that can do it faster.

I am running Win XP Pro

I use ccleaner and recently I tried WinASO registry optimizer which is good too

ccleaner is ultra safe, it will not clean the "real stuff"

It seems that way, yes

WINASO registry optimizer for instance finds a lot more ''problems'' then ccleaner but I like ccleaner a lot

I use TuneUp Utilities, seems to work fine. It also has alot of other automated registry fixes that speed your computer up alot.

I use both Ccleaner and Tuneup Utility 2006 and know how to manualy clean up
the Reg. I still use Regcleaner for all the stuff I missed !

TuneUp is def a good one I can also recomend XP Tools it has alot of extra functions and does a good job of cleaning up the reg.

Ya its funny never really trusted any of them , Tuneup is my first choice and really like Regcleaner . You would have to unistall a program ,then run your reg cleaner of choice then run Regcleaner to pick off what you missed .

In fairness if you run another program it may find more invalid entries .... So who's the best ? I'v yet to figure that out .

ccleaner seemed to do the job. I needed it for removing activation info from a proggie I accidentally updated and then it stopped working. I ran ccleaner then reinstalled and it's working fine now. I might try tuneup as well to see what it finds.
