Registry tools

Listed applications for this category:
Regclean
Regclean is a small utility by Microsoft. It will clean obsolete registry keys/values, left there by bad designed software, but only in Hkey_classes_root (file associations etc). Those values don't harm your system. Also, be sure to get version 4.1a - previous versions contained some serious bugs (we don't recommend this app, but provide this version for those inclined to run it).

RegEditX
RegEdit in Me/2k and XP has this feature of opening at the last key that was edited/viewed. If you want something similar for 9x, or the feature extended, there's RegEditX (free, all versions). This utility simply adds a combo box underneath the toolbar, where examined/edited keys will be placed, to get to them fast afterwards. Another cool feature is you can paste any key, copied from a readme, manual or something, into it (hit enter) to easily navigate to it.

RegShot
"RegShot is a small registry compare utility that allows you to quickly take a snapshot of your registry and then compare it with a second one - done after doing system changes or installing a new software product. The changes report can be produced in text or HTML format and contains a list of all modifications that have taken place between snapshot1 and snapshot2. In addition, you can also specify folders (with subfolders) to be scanned for changes as well."
