I use these 4 cleaners , each one specialises in a different area . All save the removed files
for you to manually remove when you are sure everything is OK .
All allow you to restore them back into the system , either by right clicking & clicking on
Merge or by other means .

Microsoft's Regclean ( freeware ) , very conservative .
By default it puts the 3 files into Windows Temp .
I prefer them in Unzipped .
Right click in an empty space in Unzipped , select Folder & name it RegClean .

OleClean ( Freeware . I tick all the boxes in Options ) from ,

RegCleaner or the new version Power Tools ( freeware )
I use RegCleaner because it is faster .

RegCleaner , I set it up this way it this way .
Options > Registry Cleanup > Method , click Automatic ( this puts a tick alongside )
Options > Registry Cleanup > OLE Cleaner , click on Extra Powerfull .
Click on Tools > Registry Cleanup > Do them All .
This removes & places them in RegCleaner's Backup for removal in a couple of weeks , when you
are sure they are not required .

Power Tools , this way .
Tools > Registry Cleaner , tick the first 3 boxes & click Continue .
This removes & places them in Power Tools Backup .
