RegistryFix
 

How good of a program is RegistryFix? If anyone knows or has an opinion I would love to hear it.

it has a good response, but my personal opinion would be not to worry about your registry. Most problems do not start or end here. Is there a specific reason you are looking at this application?

I have already purchased it. I am curious about why I keep hearing about how important it is to keep my registry clean and in order. After I run the check, things do seem to run a little better on my computer. Just looking to expand my knowledge a some and see how well this product is rated by others.

Test Drive First
 

If at all possible, test drive a program before you buy it.

While scanning the various sites I go to, I find 101 Registry cleaners that promise the user the world, but every one of them basically does the same thing.

Unless you test drive a given software, you will not know if it will "fit" your system, or meet your specific needs.

Newer, or trendy, or fancy graphics does not make a software necessarily better. I'd stick with the tried and true companies if I am going to lay down hard cash. For my money, the user cannot beat Registry First Aid, Platinum Edition ...but I am biased! Get it from Rose City Software at Windows Registry Repair From Award Winning Registry Repair Software
