Free Window Registry Repair is a refreshingly simple tool for cleaning up your Windows Registry. It lacks the bells and whistles offered by some programs--such as special features for uninstalling programs or managing the Start menu--but thankfully so. This is a program that does something well and doesn't stray from that success.
The application's straightforward presentation and clear menu make this program appropriate for most users. The program opens to a window with very simple, step-by-step instructions. You can perform a full scan or select areas to examine. Scanning is quick, and the results list shows the data and key, sorted by problem type. The right-click menu lets you open the Registry to a specific item. Each time the program fixes a set of errors (you uncheck the ones you don't want fixed), it automatically creates a backup. This seems like a sensible and safe feature, making us wonder why most other repair makers make you manually create a restore point. Each backup is saved with a unique filename, allowing you to choose which one to reinstate via the Restore menu.
In addition to scanning, fixing, and restoring, Free Window Registry Repair offers an Options menu where you can choose keys to exclude from scanning as well as choose to create a system restore point prior to fixing errors. The program isn't perfect--the name of the program itself has a typo, and the Help file is actually not a help file--but overall, this is a great, speedy program for all but the most novice user.

"Be warned don't trust crap like this"
Pros: None, the fact that it's free for anyone to download is also a bad thing.
Cons: I can't run firefox now because of this pile of crap! Reinstalled the browser twice now & it keeps comming up with an error box. I scanned my computer with this thing & it "fixed" a load of errors - yeah thatnks for that.

Version: Free Window Registry Repair 2.0
Pros: It is nice to find a program of this type that actually works. Downloads and installs cleanly. It did a great job on the XP system. Can't tell the difference too much on the vista , but I am assuming it did good on it also.
Cons: Don't know of any yet.
Summary: Try this one, especially if you have an XP that is dogging it. Nothing else seemed to work.
