Good! Registry Cleaners are great because they will scans your Windows registry for invalid or obsolete information and provide a list of the errors found.
The software scans for the registered custom controls in the registry and detects invalid entries which point to files no longer present on the hard drive.
registry cleaners are really very useful specially if you are encountering registry errors on your windows xp machine _
i really find registry cleaners very necessary to improve the system performance of a desktop PC *`’
