CCleaner will work with Vista 64-bit edition according to the documentation on Piriform's web site (the designers of CCleaner). If the standard download doesn't work, let us know. (Get the slim version.)

Hey Sigit !!



I would strongly recommend Against using ANY kind of registry cleaner .

They will , in the long run , damage your PC. There is no need

to Clean the registry. It grows as it needs it . The amount of

space you would gain from such programs would be very

minimal. And the speed , which I think is why you think you

need one , would be so small that, you would not notice the difference.

You could do more harm then good . If you know which entries

to delete, when the log from the registry cleaner comes up, then

fine , go ahead and check out and delete the ones that you know

are not needed for the good of the OS. BUT, on the other hand ,

if you cannot recognize the entries to delete from the registry,

you are only looking for trouble. My new notebook , which is now

10 months old , is doing just fine with out the help of a registry

cleaner.

There are no Experts in this field that would even think of recommending

someone use a registry cleaner. Do so at your OS's peril .

Agreed, if your computer is running smooth, stay away from registry cleaner.

But I don't want to be too contraversial here... my experience tells me if registry cleaner use properly, would actually help you maintain a healthy system. I have used some of the free and commercial registry cleaners for my system, and over 18 months now, everthing seems fine.

Nowadays new registry cleaners comes with auto backup, it hardly screw up your system... at least my experience...

If you guys want some free registry cleaners, try this:
