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: TweakNow RegCleaner 4.4.1
Pros: IMHO the program does a very good job with finding errors and blank entries in the registry and does show in blue icons which are not safe to delete and does a deep scan on those blue iconed items to make sure they are safe or not safe to delete.
Cons: when excluding yellow iconed items the program crashes.
Summary: i like the program and have used the previoud version which worked very good, this version needs to be fixed as far as telling why items are safe to delete and also needs to be fixed as far as excluding yellow iconed items.

Version: TweakNow RegCleaner 4.4.1
"Easy to install& use to obtain efficien results."
Pros: I found that the software easily identified large unknown files - particularly if you have a large hard drive. It also identified problems in the registry and corrected them.
Cons: The software identified objects that were safe to delete - but did not expain why these were safe to delete!
Summary: I would recommend this product as a simple and efficient way to do some disk housekeeping particularly on large hard drives where orphaned files take up substantial disk space. I managed to clear & archive to another drive some 14 Gbyte of disk ... read more >>
