Can anyone suggest a good registry cleaner? My Windows 2K has been stable enough that I havent had to reinstall in a long time, now Im having system partition size issues and loding times are not good.

If I want to remove a few entries I like to use this:
RegCleaner

I wouldn't recommend any. Removing a few or even a few hundred extraneous entries won't solve your problems or improve load times, and you always run the risk of false positives.

Thanks for the replys and I may still look in to these.
Today I found Microsofts own RegClean which creates a .reg undue file, incase it does something bad.
It removed at about 900 entries and boy are things alot faster.

I've been using a program called ccleaner lately. It runs fast and it also does things like the disk cleanup in winxp much faster. You can get it here:

As always, back up your registry before anything.

In my experience, regcleaners have caused more harm than good. You shouldn't be messing with the registry unless you know what you're doing anyways.

ccleaner is real good.
Two others are Regscrub and JV16 Power Tools.

I've used RegCleaner for years on multiple computers and I have yet to run into any problems.
