    I want to tidy up my registry but there are load of programs to choose from. Im sure a lot of them are crap. What one would be best? Also anybody know of any good HD Utilities for defragging/fixing up a hard drive?

    Thanks,

    Hakko

    Which OS?
    Automated registry cleaners are more likely to cause more problems than they solve.

    For defrag'ing - DisKeeper(€!) - it is excellent though.
    For "fixing up" - SpinRite(€ as well).


    Personally, nothing beats a good Ghost'ing. :)

    Try Crap Cleaner. http://www.ccleaner.com/

    It can be overzealous at times so cast an eye over what it's going to delete before going ahead with it.

    I use RegistryFix (its not free though) and CCleaner is a good free one though.

    What ever you do create a restore point as regcleaners can cause some interesting problems

    Tweak now reg cleaner is on download.com and it works + keeps a backup of changes
