<description><![CDATA[Thanks YL Computing &amp; GOTD.

Downloaded and installed without issue (Win XP Pro SP3).

Scanned and reported over 1500 errors. I looked at them all (yep, made my eyes feel funny!) and not one was unsafe to delete (I did however back up my registry first before continuing).

I've tried quite a few registry cleaners over the years (some have already been mentioned and no, I don't remember all the other programme names) and this seems to be very well thought out at what it deems to be an error. Basically missing references/connections to files and folders that were deleted long ago.

People will tell you not to mess with the registry and that it doesn't help anyway (or is negligible) and others will tell you that it boosts performance. I notice a difference, you may or may not. That could also be to do with how much/often you use your PC.

If you've wanted to check out such a programme then I don't really think you could do much better than this one. Whatever you choose to do is up to you!

Just do a backup/restore point before you clean, just in case.

Have fun!

<description><![CDATA[For #2 - it is not unusual for this type of program to come up with a different number of errors each time it runs. Different programs will differ even more. I doubt that his was deliberate]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[@3 NEVER run any backup software (or the ilk) when in a sandbox. Don't register stuff... don't do ANYTHING that going to HURT you when it gets undone (ie you 'disgard' all changes)

@6 PLEASE ALL - READ Auslogics EULA - they require you to agree to update their software when they say - no ifs ands or butts... (See item #6 in the EULA - READ IT and then READ IT AGAIN!)

Q: i only got as far as @6... already thumbs down item due to lousy description. (i mean 'lack of detail' (as in accuracy in the language)), but what i'd like to know is how is this thing getting over 30% thumbs up?  The negative criticisms are of such a serious nature that it's bewildering that 243 people (at this moment) would trust the heart (or brain?) of their system to such risks. (This, of course, does not apply to those in 'sandboxes', etc)

Again - Read the EULAs...

...and warn other GOTD members when danger lurks.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Fail. Can’t resize the window to read the width of entire scan at once. The window size is puny compared to my screen. If they can’t get the UI down, what’s UNDER the covers is probably a lot worse.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The last time I ran a registry scanner on my computer, it screwed my registry up so badly that I soon had to reinstall the whole operating system.  Hopefully this program is better than that.  All I am saying is, user beware!!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I forgot to mention that Scan My Reg fixed/restored an icon which had been missing from my tray for about two weeks, and which I had given up on short of reinstalling the corresponding program. Thanks again guys.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[# 10

Once again we have non-techies giving false information. Registry cleaners can indeed make a considerable difference to performance if they do a good job of cleaning and defragging the Windows registry. This is particularly the case if you install/uninstall a lot of games/software programs as the registry can get very over-size and cluttered in time. If you never uninstall anything and rarely install programs/games, it might in this situation make little difference.

CCleaner's registry clean tool is very very conservative in cleaning the registry. If you use a more powerful cleaner, just be sure to do a system restore point and back-up the registry in case any games or programs are affected.

As for how well today's GOTD works, give it a try and see!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Seems like a good utility to me. Installed, ran, and repaired 40 registry errors. I'm keeping it. Thanks GAOTD and YL Computing. Oh, the reason for only 40 errors is that I regularly run other registry cleaners.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Thank you GAOTD and YL Computing . 
Again would make (does make) a very useful portable utility .
CCleaner and any reg cleaner has the potential to destroy an OS in the wrong hands like a motorbike has accidents ;). 
ERUNT backup (as well as the programs own), before playing, to an external and never play in your main PC until you are confident of the product(for the non techies).

I won't get into the debate on usefulness of reg cleaning. I clean.

Tested in a VM , real external OS and checked briefly through what it deleted - I'm happy with this .No substitute for learning  how your registry works, before using Programs that ask if you wish to delete stuff you know nothing about. 
Not going to go with the flow on this 8/10 useful utility for me and 'keeper' 
 Speed , Registry clean effectiveness , stability of program and stability of my OS after (everything fine on both OSes so far) if I get no error logs in a week (cause by registry probs) will be recommending this to friends.]]></description>
