I use all these cleaners .
Files are either removed to the programs backup or the Recycle Bin .
Once you are sure they are not needed again ( about one week ) they can be deleted .

EasyCleaner

http://personal.inet.fi/business/toniarts/ecleane.htm
Click on Unnecessary .
I tick Normal types & Temp directories .
Don't use Duplicate files unless you really know what your doing .
If you try & remove a file that is being used , it will after about a 15 second delay , inform you so & will not delete .

==================================

RegSeeker
http://www.hoverdesk.net/freeware.htm
RegSeeker is a perfect companion for your Windows regsitry !
RegSeeker includes a powerful registry cleaner and can display various informations like your
startup entries, several histories (even index.dat files), installed applications and much
more ! With RegSeeker you can search for any item inside your registry, export/delete the
results, open them in the registry. RegSeeker also includes a tweaks panel to optimize your
OS !

RegSeeker is FREE for personal use only !

Click on Clean the Registry & tick > Scan Drives for old exe entries in the registry. Click OK.
My personal use , is to delete only the Green entries .
Left click the 1st green entry to highlight , hold the Shift key down & move down the list to the last green entry & click ( no red inbetween ) to highlght bulk Green entries .
Right click to delete .

=========================================

jv16 PowerTools 1.3.0.195 which doesn't expire , is available here:
http://spazioinwind.libero.it/puntocr/dwl/jv16pt_setup.exe
http://down.hengshui.com/download.asp?downid=1&id=726
Click on Registry Tool > Tools > Registry Cleaner > Continue > Start .
When finished , Click on Select > Special select > Items that should be safe to remove > Remove.

==================================

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

Navigator1 , I have rewritten some of my info , hope it helps .

I use all these cleaners for XP , each one specialises in a different area .

Files are either removed to the programs backup or the Recycle Bin ( make sure the Recycle Bin is empty , before using the cleaners , that way you know the files you have removed )

All allow you to restore them back into the system , either by right clicking on the reg file in the programs folder ( example Regclean & OleClean > Windows Explorer > Unzipped , click on either RegClean or OleClean ) & clicking on Merge .

EasyCleaner removes to the Recycle Bin & by opening the Recycle Bin , right clicking on the files & clicking Restore .

jv16 PowerTools & RegSeeker both store in Backup on their main page .
Opening Backup allows you to either Restore or Delete .

Once you are sure they are not needed again ( about one week ) they can be deleted .

=============================

RegClean
http://vbnet.mvps.org/index.html?http://vbnet.mvps.org/dev/updates/tools.htm
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 .
Now when you click unzip ( during install ) select the new folder .
To use , you can either open up the folder & doubleclick on RegClean or right click & make a shortcut to your desktop & then put it anywhere you like .
