Windows Forum / Windows 95 / January 2004microsoft regcleaner?
AFAICT, Microsoft RegCleaner is not available anymore (it used to be on MS's ftp site). Why is that? Was there a problem with it or something? Is there another program that does the same thing and which is more or less safe to use if you follow the instructions? > AFAICT, Microsoft RegCleaner is not available anymore (it used to be > on MS's ftp site).

There were some problems in particular situations -- overall, it did its job just fine, but in later operating systems it began conflicting with some features. There are other Registry cleaners on the market with different followings. I personally don't have any that I recommend at this time. I'm sure others will jump in with their personal favorites. I do have a page on how to compact the Registry in Win95, and it may be helpful to you: http://aumha.org/win4/a/regpak.htm -- JAE > AFAICT, Microsoft RegCleaner is not available anymore (it used to be on MS's > ftp site).

Regclean is still available, just not from microsoft. Here is a FTP site that still has it. ftp://ftp.swcp.com/pub/pc/win95/regclean.exe > Regclean is still available, just not from microsoft.

M: There is a freeware third party registry cleaner available here: http://www.pcmedixwebs.com/regclean.htm HTH & GL John  Signature\\\\\// "Don't take life so seriously... | | ...it's only a temporary condition."

You could download it from ms, but it seems to be as of today buried in several different tweak tool sets. > > AFAICT, Microsoft RegCleaner is not available anymore (it used to be on MS's > > ftp site).

WinMag.com used to have similar agreements.
