REGISTRY FIXERS
Registry Mechanic
THEY ALL NEED MORE FLEXIBILITY. I Consider Registry Mechanic the
best Registry fixing tool that I've used, but it is not free.
The best FREE Registry Fixer that I know of, is CCleaner - Crap & Registry Cleaner.
Note that Norton's 360 security Suite includes an excellent Registry Cleaner.
Advanced SystemCare Free - fixes registry and other things
CCleaner (Crap Cleaner) - system optimization & privacy tool - cleans/fixes Registry - free, donation asked
CCleaner runs on Microsoft Windows 10, 8.1, 8, 7, Vista, XP, 2012, 2008, 2003,
2000 and 98 - 32-bit and 64-bit versions - by Piriform.
Version 5.63.7540 (64-bit) is the latest (01 2020).
Download the (always) LATEST FREE version of CCleaner - CLICK HERE **
NEVER buy the PAID VERSION
ALWAYS download the latest FREE Version (from the URL, ABOVE
I recommend creating a RESTORE POINT PRIOR to the CCleaner upgrade.
