Does Windows XP have it's own Reg Cleaner?

And if so how do I run it?

I thought I would make a joke about booting to the command line prompt and typing format c:\, but then I realised some innocent soul might read this thread and actually do it 
I'm glad my brain clicked back into gear. Didn't Win98 have a regcleaner from MS?

Yes, but it was an additional downloadable tool. Some say it still works, but i never used it on XP though. I use TuneUp Utilities and Norton now.

Spybot - Search and Destroy. All I use, aside from AdAware. Keeps things running smoothly, without annoying little gremlins.

I've always had less than great luck with reg cleaners, but the tools in System Mechanic 4 are very safe, Kona......... It makes back ups, so even if it does cause a problem, you can do a restore. Try it, you might like it.

yes, I work on Computers from time to time. Not my full time job. More like a thing on the side, like my ebay sales.
Anyways, thanks all. Much apreciated.
