Quicksys RegCleaner 2009 remove essential entries of the Windows Registry and mess Windows configurations.
Avoid it.
Why do Registry Cleaners clean more than they must? 
>:(
Tech,
Why do you use Reg cleaners? As far as I know cleaning up the registry is a delicate job that has the potential to ruin a perfectly good OS.
Does cleaning up the registries bring any significant gain to a machine?
i don’t use registry cleaners at all
or otherwise i don’t fool with mother nature
only time i do is when i do a complete os format restore

It’s a dilema… CCleaner registry cleaner is weak, but safe.
I’m always try to find a good (deep) and not dangerous one.
Well, I’d like housekeeping and keep thing clear 
I like Regseeker with the excludes from CCleaner:

I follow it with a NTREGOPT run to optimize the registry and a reboot:
http://www.larshederer.homepage.t-online.de/erunt <== by the way, there is a good registry backup application there called ERUNT.
Tech, All the reg. cleaners I use have a built in back up, to restore. What about the one you are talking about ?
Yes it has. If it does not have one, I won’t even run it once…
Seems complicated… you need an exclusion list to make the other work properly… :
ERUNT is a must have 
Its not complicated at all as once the exclusion list is installed then a regular scan can take place.
ERUNT is a must have ;)I agree.
How does this list update?
Just place the exclude file in Regseeker’s Folder and it will include the entries the next time you run it.
But it is a fixed list, won’t the list be updated, like any program? ???
It won’t be updated.

[b]Note: This is the last an final update from me, anyone whom wishes to continue this is more than welcomed to do so![/b]They're giving up on updates... it's not a good policy, not for a registry cleaner.
Why, how many registry cleaners do you know that even have an exclusions let alone the ability to update them, using something like the exclude.ini. You could personally update it yourself if you wished, but I’m sure someone may take on the task.
This isn’t a final update of regseaker just the customised exclude.ini by Andavari, that is what the quoted text by yokenny referred.
Andavari's Customized RegSeeker Exclude.ini File to better protect the Windows registry
I use regseeker and I don’t even bother with the customised exclude.ini, I check them my self and make the decision to remove, etc. RegSeeker most certainly isn’t a tool for the novice as it really digs deep into the registry and there is no help file, etc.
So for some the customised exclusions might help keep them out of trouble and even if it doesn’t get updated it is better than not having had it at all.
David, I can’t feel comfortable using a registry cleaner with a third party exclusion list, not updated and revised, and take decisions about which is safe, which is not… Windows registry is not a toy…
I can’t recall having a registry cleaner with an exclusion list external/third party or otherwise.
The fact is the external list isn’t installed by default so there is no 3rd party exclusion list, you have to download it but first you have to register on that forum to be able to get it.
Which is exactly why I said regseeker isn’t a novice tool to be played with as a toy, you can do serious damage with an overzealous approach to cleaning the registry.
Also lets not lose sight of what the exclusion list does should anyone choose to use it, it stops you removing things which might harm the system, so it isn’t taking decisions on which is safe to remove it isn’t taking any decision on removal but the opposite what shouldn’t be removed. RegSeeker doesn’t make autonomous removal decisions, like HJT is just presents the user with a list according to their settings, the user takes the decisions on what to remove.
Will you use it?
I already use RegSeeker, I have the very short exclude.lst that comes with the the program not the customised exclude.ini file, which as I said you have to register with that forum and download it, but for me I simply don’t need it as I do the decision making on my system.
Using a third party list isn’t much different from a number of other applications (not registry cleaners) like adblock plus and subscribing to different ad blocking lists, there are others comonly open source stuff that I can’t recall from memory.
Ok, thanks. I would like a build in exclusion list, tested, certified, as I don’t want to mess with my registry.
