Publisher's description
From PC Tools :Registry Mechanic is an advanced registry cleaner for Windows that allows you to safely scan, clean, and repair registry problems with a few simple mouse clicks. Problems with the Windows Registry are a common cause of Windows crashes and error messages. By using PC tune-up utilities such as registry cleaners regularly, your system will be more stable, your software will run quicker, and your operating system will boot faster. Registry problems can occur for many reasons, including references left behind after uninstallation; incorrect removal of software; missing or corrupt hardware drivers; or orphaned start-up programs. With a few easy steps, Registry Mechanic will scan your entire registry for any invalid entries and provide a list of the errors found. You then can choose to clean each item or automatically repair them all after making a backup without the need for a registry editor such as Regedit. PC Tools products are free of spyware and adware.
Version 5.0 improves scanning speed and problem detection, includes a customizable ignore list for selective scan, and features an online Live Update facility.

Version: Registry Mechanic 5.2
Pros: Excellent utility in the paid version. Scans, repairs, and optimizes your registry. Gets rid of all the errors and useless junk that will slow down your pc.
Cons: Free trial version has limited removal. A full function free trial would let users see how effective this fine utility really is.

Version: Registry Mechanic 5.2
Pros: The scanner in this program is very complete, one of the best. Great look to the program as well, very easy to use.
Cons: Optimisation is a bit odd, not a whole lot of help for that part of the program, dont know what it actually does

Version: Registry Mechanic 5.2
"much better than its earlier version!!!!!!"
Pros: i had registry mechanic 4.0 which used to scan the registry very well. but when i downloaded the 5.0 version i was surprised to see a lot more advanced features like optimizing the registry and it also had a more well defined and advanced search....
Cons: in the trialware version it does detect all the major and minor problems and allows us only to correct minor problems...the developers have to stand up and take notice that such method of providing trialware may not promote their product much...Instead allow the software to correct ALL THE FLAWS for a limited period of time like for example a 15-day trial...
