Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This excellent freeware utility makes the potentially daunting prospect of cleaning your Windows Registry safe and simple. The interface is spare and straightforward, and most users will probably only need the Scan and Remove buttons.
The settings are configured for immediate use, although you may exclude some Registry branches and references to removable drives from the scan. The default Beginner mode only displays items marked safe to remove, and the Expert mode makes clear which ones aren't. In case something goes wrong after deletion, you can quickly restore the removed keys.
In our tests, the utility found and removed hundreds of junk entries in minutes, making it a worthy download for almost any home user, especially those who are less technically inclined.
Publisher's description
From Tweak Now :The Registry is the heart and soul of any Windows system. It contains information that controls how your system appears and how it behaves. When you install an application, new Registry entries will be created. These entries automatically will be deleted when you uninstall the application. Unfortunately, this process does not always work. Sometimes, some applications fail to remove their own Registry entries. These entries become obsolete. After a long period, after you install and uninstall a number of applications, your Windows Registry will contain a large number of obsolete entries. This will significantly increase the Registry size and slow down your computer, because Windows will need more time to load, search, and read data from the Registry. To keep your computer at top performance, it is recommended you periodically clean your Windows Registry.
Version 4.2 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.
What's new in this version:
-Added support for Windows 7 RC-1. -Added support for Windows Vista SP-2 -Added support for Internet Explorer 8 in the Track Cleaner module. -Improve scan engine performance in the Registry Cleaner module. -Minor bug fixes.

Version: TweakNow RegCleaner 4.2
Pros: I've used this program for years; as a registry cleaner, it safe and simple to use.
Cons: What's not to like?
Summary: TweakNow has expanded its offerings in this and newer editions (I'm usuing 4.4); the Track Cleaner and Startup Manager have worked well for me, and the Resore option is another added plus.

Version: TweakNow RegCleaner 4.2
"Felt easy to use for my first time"
Pros: Easy to use, backup to restore if there's a problem. Some nice other features, and it "looks" like can get more detailed for advanced users.
Cons: Haven't noticed any 'yet', but also haven't noticed a difference after using.
Summary: easy to use, seems to do the basic things really well. Good for a beginner, but can't comment for the advanced user.
