Re: Registry Clean-up

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jon, I've used 2 tools.

1. A free one from Microsoft - RegClean - last version was 4.1 or 
something, 1998. I still use it occasionally on my Win 2K machine. It makes 
.dat files of what it changed, so that you can restore things.

2. RegCleaner at www.jv16.org - mine is older, the power tools 2005 
probably are closest to what I have. $30
