Do you use command regedit ?

I don't use either one. Can you use regedit easily? Or do you have to really know what you're doing?

For the cleanup work, I run TuneUp utilities 2010, it's far better than CCleaner and has more options. Those kind of programs are good at pointing out the posible problems, but I must review the proposed solutions, as not all of the are so good as they claim. I also run regedit manually all the time. Not for the cleanup work, but instead for changing some setting Windows want us to not to touch. If done properly, it has a great potential of configuring your system and unhide options. For example, I frequently change the file asociations directly from the registry instead of doing it in Windows explorer (more on my Win7 notebook, where Microsoft directly removed that option).

well it's a good practice to remove unnecessary registry entries from your system.. but I generally prefer not to touch registry until it's necessary.. but if I found my system slow.. I do disk defragment and also use other softwares to remove unnecessary registry details..

I used CCleaner and only registry editing if I know what I'm doing. Windows Registries is BIG and ugly, eh? Always backup first before editing

I use Registry Mechanic. Have had it for a couple of years and it monitors constantly for any changes made when I'm browsing. I also run it to do clean up about once a week. After the very first run, I've seldom had any problems to be fixed.

I am using CCleaner to clean my computer every time my computer start up. I think it's a good way to delete junk fine and temp file from my computer. My computer has never get slow when I use this software.

I actually don't clean my computer from the registry. I just uninstall the software that I don't use anymore to free up space and that is enough for me. -) I only use regedit to clean computers from malwares, trojans, viruses, etc. I'm not actually fully satisfied with the anti-viruses so I preferred to clean those viruses manually. And to do that, I use the regedit and remove their traces especially from the start up. But before I remove them from the registry, I'm checking them first from the msconfig utility. -) The other thing I do with registry are just for fun modifications like editing the logon screens or configurations of different games like warcraft. -)
