Can anyone recommend a good registry cleaner, preferably cheap or even free? I've got the trial version of RegCure, but don't know if that's the best to get.

Any recommendations?

I'm sure most of those who use Apple would say by erasing windows. :thumbsup:

However, those of us who still have to use Windows here are a few suggestions:

I used to use a tool called JV16 power tools: http://www.macecraft.com/jv16powertools2009-info/
It's reg cleaner was VERY aggressive, but I did not have any trouble with outdated and useless entries. That was for WinXP.

Currently I am using a suite from a product Vax recommended to me a while back as a disk optimizer. It now has a full featured suite that I like very much. This is Raxco and the new product is PerfectSpeed 2. http://www.perfectdisk.com/
That is a great optimizer, but I find the reg. cleaner to be limited. I've used this on XP, VISTA and Win7 and it works well on all of them. (note to everyone - this is really a great product for defragging)

There are many, many other small and specialized products, both free and for purchase. These are the ones I've used and like. RegAnalyzer was one I used and wasn't impressed with. But other than that, that is my experience with them.

We have used Registry Mechanic where I work for a year or so now and It seems to do a fair job of restoring the registry to original, usable(LOL) configuration http://www.pctools.com/registry-mechanic/
