Max Registry cleaner
by d.arbib - 10/4/08 7:26 PMI used this cleaner for several months with no problems (yes, I know, be wary of registry cleaners). Recently I installed Raxco 2008 defragmenter which is pretty good. However after running Max cleaner Raxco came to grief and would not open properly. To get it back I had to uninstall and remove residual registry items before re-installing
Some folks
by bob b - 10/5/08 4:45 AM In reply to: Max Registry cleaner by d.arbibfind a reg cleaner to be of value....I have not seen such a thing.
Over the years I've played with a few....some are quite aggressive.
Removing 100's of entries.
I have yet to see a diff in perf.
I have seen some odd things happen with the OS or some app.
Your call if you want to use such a product.
Tune Up Utilities 2008 is bad too.

Over in our Vista forum it cleaned too much and causes failures. That story is not over. May end with the OS needing a reinstall.

Generally
by Jimmy Greystone - 10/5/08 7:57 AM In reply to: Max Registry cleaner by d.arbibGenerally registry cleaners are unnecessary. They are going to have about zero noticeable impact on performance. At most, you're freeing up a few hundred bytes of RAM, which is wholly insignificant.
Defragmenters are also similarly useless. They will speed up, to a very small degree, things like boot times and the initial loading of a program, but they won't do anything to speed up most programs once they're running. In the end, the amount of time you spend on the defragmenting process, combined with the added wear and tear on your drive, results in a rather large net loss for you. There are some exceptions to this rule, such as if you do a lot of audio/video/photo editing or run a large database cluster where performance lives or dies by disk access speeds, but most programs are NOT disk intensive and thus benefit very little by defragmenting.
