    I'm curious. What is everyone using for registry editing? I've demo'd a couple and can't find one that I love.

    I mainly use RegEdit that comes with Windows. I normally don't really do any modding unless I know exactly where the problem is.

    Here's a list of Registry Editors if you want to see what's out there.

    I just use regedit by going to Start > run > regedit

    It's perfect for just changing a line or two.

    if you're into tweaking.. maybe try Tweak XP? It seems to have a lot of cool options in it

    Yeah, I was looking for an automated tool to pull out all the old crap I have in there.

    CrapCleaner, RegCleaner, RegClean. I use all three of these from time to time to rid myself of orphans.

    First PC = Vic-20, 8" 128KB Home-Brew Floppy Drive ... Current Rig = eMachines m6805 ... Quantum Leap?
