Freeware Review: RegCleaner. RegCleaner 4.3.0.780 is a user-friendly freeware that helps you edit the Windows registry. Aside from giving you easy access to RegEdit, it also helps you in maintaining Shell Extensions, Uninstall Entries, OCX, Program Startups, File Types and check any new files registered. Regcleaner provides an easy GUI to delete orphaned registry entries. In cases when you mistakenly delete vital registry entries, the backup utility can help you get back on track.

RegCleaner also has a powerful automatic registry cleaner to fix common Windows issues. The labeling of software entries is a no-brainer if you’d like to remove any unwanted registry with ease. RegCleaner is highly recommended and a great freeware for the elite and newbies alike. RegCleaner is abandonware, since it was last updated in 2002, yet it still works better than most of the free registry tools in the market right now. It was eventually included as part of jv16 Powertools – a shareware, but RegCleaner still remains a freeware.
