the bottom line to me is this:ġ) with the multi-gigahertz speed of modern processors, even if a registry cleaner were to find and "fix" hundreds (or even thousands) of so-called "obsolete" entries, you wouldn't even notice a nano-second's difference in your boot-up time.

each one asserting it's "better" than competitors, because it can find more "problems". you can find hundreds of "free" registry scanners (some of which purport to find "tons" of problems, only to then require you pay for the cleaning). While there is much heated debate on the subject of registry cleaners - some swear by them, others swear at them - i personally do not recommend the general public make "routine" use of registry cleaners.
