Let's look at it another way. Why wouldn't you want to be cautious about
deleting registry items? If you're not sure about deleting something, don't!

I have both RegSupremePro and RegMechanic and RegSupremePro is much
better, finds a lot more invalid entries when you do a deep scan than
RegMechanic.

Bin doin that. Some are easy picks but I lack confidence to hit the %System
Root\System32 files. Rather than backup, I rely on system restore. It can
undo a multitude of sins. Norton Ghost when all else fails.

Jv16 powertools is the best. Have a few probs with the latest version
though. I can delete everything it finds with the older version if i
do that with the new one causes problems :(

But nothing a reinstall of the deleted stuff can't fix. But whats the
point if it deletes needed stuff !!!!

See ya.

Yea, that makes it NFG. I'm sticking with v1.0.0.22 as it has never
deleted anything that it shouldn't yet. I remember when it was a free
prog it would sometimes do that though. Seems like they went from
OK>GOOD>OK.

EasyCleaner is a free/good regcleaner and never deletes things it
shouldn't but again it doesn't find as much as JV16/RegsupremePro
does.
