What is the best ay of cleaning up the Registry?
The Windows Registry is not something to be treated like an .ini or .bat file. Do not even think about tampering with the Registry unless you know exactly what you are doing. Yes, you can manually remove or manipulate certain values of keys within the Registry, but it is far better to use third party software to do the work for you. One of the most effective pieces of software that I have used is Microsoft’s RegClean 4.1a.
