    Dave_M just recently posted this link to the OneCare online clean up scanner, which cleans the registry: http://onecare.live.com/site/en-us/center/cleanup.htm

     

    I wasn’t aware of this feature of the Safety Scanner, and haven’t had time to try it yet, but at no charge, it sounds like it’s worth a try. This scanner even creates a System Restore point so you can reverse the changes if something goes wrong.

    Thanks, Greg,

     

    ...additionally backout REG files are created as part of the normal registry cleaning process:

    Thanks but thats not what I wanted. I wanted software that I can download and install on my system and run it when ever I wanted.
