Hi, can anyone recommend a free registry optimizer that I can download?

Thanks.

    Just that if anything goes awry then it can be difficult to put right sometimes. Ironically, ccleaner should aid you here but ain't necessarily so.

    Anyhow....;)

    Registry cleaners won't speed up a pc if that's what you are expecting.

    Why be careful is because most of them are crap, and delete more than they should.
