I have to clean up about 60 PC's.. We really don't want to re-install windows, these PC's have barely been used so I just want to remove all programs, scan for adware, defrag, remove temp files, tweak the OS a bit, etc..
I'd like to know a good freeware registry cleaner I could use to get out all the uninstall leftovers I will be accumulating.. I've got a few in mind but I want to know what some of you guys use.. My luck, I'll pick the one that hoses every registry it touches.
TIA!

I use RegClean its made by jv16
but they no longer have it on download mirrors and thus have stopped developing it. BUT I still use it and it does what I want it to do.

Regsupreme is the best... finds more entries than any program I've ever used in my life. I've used them all. Or at least 99.5% of them.
You have to pay $$ for it tho.

Yes I know... you don't need to be an ass in every freaking reply that you make.
IF i asked for a free regcleaner, and someone suggested one that only costs 12 dollars, and I could use on all my computers, I would consider that a valid suggestion.
His choice whether to take it or not.

koldchillah, I've been using
WT Registry Cleaner XP for about 2 weeks. It's a freebie and I have no complaints about the program. Does a fine job IMO.
