[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 97327, post: 1014427"] Registry was the successor of the Windows 3 ini file and in the time we used snail speed single core CPU's and slow floppy disks, it could have make sense to clean up the ini files. You are right there are multiple ways to optimize registry access, but ..... some people just like to see something is cleaned. It makes them feel good. Take for instance my garage. I don't use it as a garage, but as a workshop and shed to store things. Every year I cleanup my garage for unused stuff, but that does not make me or my car run faster. After spending a useless day of cleaning up my garage, the only person happy is my wife, when she counts the gardage bags and says: see that cleaned up a lot. I think third-prty registry cleaners have the same impact on OS performance with current day multi-core CPU's, heaps of RAM memory and fast SSD's. But when it makes you feel good just pay for the license like you pay for all professional cleaning services. My reward is I am allowed to buy a a bottle of my favourite 5 year old Frysian Rye Wine (which is actually a sort of gin :) which tastes more like whiskey than like gin). [/QUOTE]
