Any thoughts on a good free registry cleaner. Something that might look for dead keys and remove them.
I use 2 now, because similar to spyware software 1 doesn't always get everything. More and more spyware is becoming registry based now to prevent removal. Registry Mechanic is $30 but the demo can be continually used by back dating. Regseeker is free. Registry Mechanic http://www.majorgeeks.com/Registry_Mechanic_d3306.html Regseeker http://www.majorgeeks.com/RegSeeker_d2579.html
I will give them both a try. But ddrdan since ik have not used the Registry Mechanic before, where would i go with in the program to back date it or do i have to backdate xp or my bios?
most likely you'd change the windows clock date. it is suprizing to me though that a company making a product to modify the registry and look for unnessesary/inaccurate keys in it cant come up with a better way to track the date than just looking at the clock.
