Have any of you out there have this program? You have to buy it and it says it will safetly clean and repair windows registry problems? Is this a good thing to invest in? What are your thoughts?

My thoughts are don't mess with your registery unless you have problems already.

I've used System Mechanic and JV16 Power Tools for years. Personally, I prefer JV16. As with all registry cleaners, it really helps to basically know how the registry works. System Mechanic is pretty much fool proof for a novice. JV16 on the other hand does a better job at finding removable entries, but is a bit more destructive in the wrong hands.

I am a current user of Registry Mechanic by PC Tools. It is a good program and it seems like it finds about 50 or so things I do wrong every week and fixes them. I prefer System Mechanic because it does a lot more then just clean the Registry. Go to their site and down load System Mechanic (I believe it is version 6.0) They will let you use it for a month and make a decision as to whether to buy it after that point.

Re: Registry Mechanic

My concern is that these programs will offer suggestions that mortal man would be a fool to tamper with???
