The registry is a mess. 'Cleaning' it is pointless.

yeah. nuke it and learn how to reinstall painlessly instead. Then, create a driveimage and reload that every time your registry gets bogged.
ccleaner is good. regseeker for deeper expection.
These two are good, safe freewares. I wouldn't mess with compressors and all that shit.

nah you don't need the registry. it only slows down your system and provides a foothold for spyware. i suggest you immediately delete all your registry keys.

regsupreme pro is good as well but it's not freeware
but the registry does suck, why does it continue to exist? linux with it's *rc files is much better.
I'm sorry mama
I never meant to hurt you
I never meant to steal that software
but tonight, I'm cleanin out my registry

Note to Windows programmers: Stop making me use the registry.
Note to Linux programmers: Stop making me compile your programs.

What if there was a way to add settings to the registry telling the registry whenever you compiled a program and whenever you compiled a program it would add settings to the registry

That'd be the sane thing to do. Good software is done this way. For example, eMule or SysInternals' utilities.

Fucking signed. Software can and should be relocatable. Just uncompress and run. Configuration goes in INI files either in the application directory (global) or the user's configuration directory (under Unix this is a problem because you get one million dot-shit files in your fucking home, but that's the fhs for you). I hate the registry for being a stupid useless thing and piece of bloat, fucking enterprise software, and I hate compiling shit because I hate wasting my time you stupid hippies.
