Registry Cleanup

I'm curious why Vista Ultimate didn't come with its own registry cleanup tools?

None of Microsoft Windows OS has ever come with a Registry Cleaner

Registry Cleaners do not do anything but create issues that will require to just about re-install the OS

Using any Registry Cleaner is very dangerous in the hands of someone that does not know the Registry. You should know what a line in the Registry is before deleting it manually. Deleting anything with an automatic delete from any Reg Cleaner is suicide.

Left over entries in the Registry does not do any harm or do they take up any space. That is a very common misconception. Do not use a Registry Cleaner. You are asking for problems.

Presumably because registry cleaning tools are unnecessary and
dangerous.

Propaganda.

What's far more dangerous and actually a security risk is all the
useless crap Vista squirrels away in the Registry.

With proper care a GOOD Registry Cleaner not over used or misused is
just another troll that can help keep your system in tip top shape.

Perhaps because there's absolutely no need for such a thing and no
benefit to be gained by using one?

I strongly agree with Peter, Ken, and Bruce. You don't need them, and they can do harm. Their claim to have found large numbers of problems they cleaned up is pure hype.

This old chestnut. Always good for cut and paste responses from MVPs to
boost their monthly post counts.

Chad - good article from Ed Bott, as usual, - thanks for the link - but
note he ends with the comment

'OK, I'll give it a try.'

ie he's intelligent enough not to reject all registry cleaners out of hand,
simply by virtue of their name.

I'll throw in my 2 cents; or food for thought.

I've used a certain registry cleaner for years, and never had a
problem.

But here's the food for thought; EVERY program you install, and then
some, edit the registry! Good programs; Bad programs.

Now, if I let every stinking program edit my Registry, why wouldn't I
allow a reputable and tested program that's specifically designed to
edit the registry clean it up?

We can't stop installing programs, right? And we have to deal w/ a
"polluted" registry in some manner? well maybe. I guess that's the
question in this thread.
