"Danger! Will Eventually Lead to Computer wiped out"
Version: Registry Distiller 1.03
Pros
For 2mo I was fooled, it didn't seem to cause problems & got some registry junk out... Until eventually wiping out my entire Hard drive... I traced it back to this program with 100% positive ID, Yep, this program's the culprit... Disk cleanup bug.
Cons
First, you can't set an ignore list, 2nd it gives a ton of undeleteable feedback to sort thru, 3rd If you let it fix what it wants to, it'll create a disk cleanup bug which will wipe out your entire hard drive, have your OS recovery disks handy!!!!!
Summary
If you let it fix all, it'll delete HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\VolumeCaches\Windows Error Reporting Queue Files: Expandable String Value: Folder>%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportQueue which when you later run disk cleanup will wipe out your system if you clean "per user queued Windows Error Reporting Files" say good bye to everything, hope you got your recovery disks handy!! THIS PROGRAM IS NOT WORTH IT!!!

"Interface primative, Finds Different Reg issues"
Version: Registry Distiller 1.03
Pros
Very fast scan. Can do an 80 GB computer in 2 minutes. Found registry issues Ccleaner didn't.
Cons
The interface looks raw, like it's either a draft version or someone not trained in optimizing space on a screen.
When it does scans and finds issues, doesn't always fix issues. Kept finding the same two issues over and over. Said they were fixed but issues kept coming up after scans.

"Effective at detecting redundant registry keys."
Version: Registry Distiller 1.03
Pros
see above.
Cons
Unfortunately, the user has to decide which keys to delete. It is more suitable for the advanced user.

"Fast scan and aggressive."
Version: Registry Distiller 1.03
Pros
This registry cleaner scanned my computer in 36 seconds, and found 390 registry errors. So before removing any of the registry errors that it found. I took the time to read all of the registry errors, and only selected 40 real registry errors.
After the registry errors are removed, there is an undo registry file created in my documents. Named my registry distiller logs from there, I can recreate the removed errors with a right click and click merge. Or with a right click the errors can be deleted, I knew the 40 were real registry errors so I deleted them.
Cons
Finds too many registry errors, the interface needs a make over. And it would be better if, I could select areas of the registry that I want to scan.
