What is the BEST Registry Cleaner for Win 7 Ultimate or Pro 64 Bit version OS ?

Hi again. You want to put a finger on one Registry Cleaner MS recommend I already mentioned Perfect Regestry which I did Buy. That's one software to much if they say in other place they don´t  recommend that kind of software.

Now suppose MS would have made a registry maintenance tool, and that tool would have been made according to the standards MS wanted, then it would have been impossible for software companies to use the registry in the wrong way. The tool would have removed the erroneous entries from the registry.

One more reason why MS should have made that tool.

hi you say: "Microsft does not recommend using a Registry cleaner"

But you recommend Registry software why on earth do you recommend such things but not recommend registry cleaner. There is something wrong there.  Microsoft has recommend a lot of registry software in the past why?

If MS recommended a lot of registry SW in the past, can you supply *1* URL that shows MS recommending a registry cleaner on any MS operating system in the past 15 years?  Just "1" ... I mean if there was "a lot", you should be able to find 1 URL w/MS recommending it.  If you can't, find even 1, maybe MS hasn't recommended any for quite a while.

The only think MS used to recommend was something to clean up old office software entries -- BUT with the arrival of Office 2000 -- PARTIAL (looking broken because they point to files that don't exist) registry entries have been used by MS's auto-installer to automatically install pieces of Office Software, *as needed*, so you didn't have to install the whole thing at once.  From that point on, MS stopped recommending any registry cleaners.   The ONLY registry tuning that has been recommended since then is something that dumps and restores the entire registry -- but that hasn't been available or recommended, that I know of, since Vista.  The benefit of doing that (dump / restore) was to compact your registry -- which is of minimal usefulness on today's computers.

Software publishers don't follow a standard when writing to the registry -- so how can a 3rd party cleaner know what is valid and what is not?

MS had SW interfaces that imposed standards, but most SW publishers wrote

their own and wrote directly to the registry in their own format and have been since Win9x.  There has been no way to police such actions -- so there is no way to know what to clean out.  There are no ownership tags nor creation dates in the registry.

It's like a dumb'ed down 'FAT32' filesystem -- no user info, and no date info -- only

security descriptors.  The registry doesn't have enough info in it to determine what

is valid and what is not.

Your computer sucks due to your poor maintenance and MS's aiding you in keeping it so.  That's why 64-bitOS's by default don't allow you to install your own drivers anymore -- and why some processes on win7 are normally not touchable by you -- MS is trying to create protected parts of the OS to add to stability and security -- and add to the ability to resist tampering and forging/counterfeiting (with rootkit infested versions).  It's slow going, since people still want compatibility, AND because a totally protected OS would make the PC into a "game console" by default (in the sense that you can only run binaries signed by MS)...

An option -- maybe linux?...  but it is going in a similar direction under corporate pressure.

Well, i dont agree with the people who say that windows dont need one.

There is a difference between saying Microsoft doesn't recommend one, and that windows doesn't need one.

There is something wrong there.  Microsoft has recommend a lot of registry software in the past why?
