what's the best registry tool...for WinXP?

My choices are RegCleaner & JV16PT for 9x

On my 9X I've also got the NSW2001; just a few things installed, among which what I prefer is the WINDOCTOR tool. It always finds something left behind both from regcl & jv16...

Just wondered about any "magical" :D tool out there, for XP

Post your opinion,pls!

Thanx m8s!
 
Im a Registry Freak so used ...

1) JV16PT
2) Registry Crawler 4
and
3) Advanced Registry Tracer (For tracking changes)

------

But the #1 best solution for working with XP so far has been ..

1) Format
2) Re-Install Win2k
 
Hello Roadworker
I have read conflicting stories about system mechanic, so I have given it a wide birth, what is the best way to use the program, manually or automatic, I only ask as people have said that it can eat bits that it shouldn’t, DLL’s that sort of thing.
or is there a setting for the dimbo. I hope this makes sense.

Thanks
:)

You guys just blew my future thinking about XP. All the talk about FIXING and here FORMAT!

SysMechanic has 2 small Fxs I use. ALWAYS checking Win startup!
FixIt Utilities 4 LISTS file to choose vs AUTOMATE (NEVER).
RegVac 1.05 is automatic and SAFE. Dun know about on XP.
I just installed Resplendent Registra 3.01 for my all-else-fails search knowing a name.
The rest is LEAVE the damn files IN THERE.
I just read Daemon 3.11 "readme". FURIO has an option to find NAUGHT NAUGHTY files that are CD related and cause problems.

My descriptive terminology is due to not knowing what the HECK the real purposes are.
 
I wanna use Windows v3.11 is it compatible with The latest Athlon AMD ?? Format and start Clean... XP is a tadd sluggish with Games...
Is Win95c any good with games??

Nothing seems to work as good as FixIt Utilities 4's Reg Fix stuff ... But I wouldnt use the HDD and other features if you paid me. Besides NOTHING is as good as O&O Defrag's stuff for working with the HDD.

I wish they would make a stand alone widget like that.

As for RegCleaner (jv16.org) it is the Younger Brother to JV16's PowerTools ... They are TINY and fast! Both are great.

What I dont understand is that what does win2k NOT do that winXP CAN do that would ever entice anyone to move everything over?

"If it aint broke - Dont Fix it!" - Now that doesnt mean if all you do is check email to go back to win95/NT - An increase in Speed and Stability are GOOD reason to upgrade, but I have yet to find anyone with a machine that has TWICE the speed I have do anything even close to as fast as my machine is.

All these winXP Single PenIV (1.7Ghz+) machines cant touch my Dual 1.4 PenIII's - Heck they cant even touch my babes Dual PenIII 1000's either. Besides the fact that PenIV's were Nothing more than a Big Marketing Ploy by Intel in hopes that AMD dont spank them so hard it leave Perm Marks all over them - Likewise XP is about as pathetic of a jump from win2k.

The WinNT4 to Win2K jump was sweet but I do miss some of the speed, which can, to an extent, be recovered after a nice registry slaying.

The Win95 to Win98 was a heavy Molesting by Micro$haft and ...
Win98 to WinME was an exersize by MicroBloat to see just how much Shiet all the morons out there would accept in an OS. Once they saw that a profit could still be made because people will believe whatever M$ tells them they gave us another usless Molesting OS with WinXP ...

If you have Win2k running sweet, why would you want or need to move to winXP ... All it is - is a METRIC BUTT TON of more hand Holding!

Are you that computer Illiterate that you NEED or WANT even MORE hand holding than what is already given to you? If so, GAWD - Dont ever even look at a *NIX machine (and do your mother a favor and start washing your own soiled underwear).
