Best registry repairing tool?

CCleaner certainly does have a registry cleaner.

In the far left column, under the broom picture that says "Cleaner", there is a picture that looks like building blocks and it says "Registry."

The registry cleaner in CCleaner is really all you need to *clean* your registry.

If you really need to REPAIR your registry, you will need an WIn XP install disk and run the repair option.

NOTE: Be sure to let CCleaner back up any changes it is going to make before it makes them.

HowTo....

Click > Start > Run and type in "regedit" without the parenthesis.

This opens the Windows Registry and don't dare touch anything or you can render Windows/other softwares inoperable by a mistake !

NOW Click > File > Export.... (top left tabs). It will open the dialouge as if you were saving a file or media or software. NAME the file you wish to call it like "Reg_Back_up_Today" or anything you wish to call it so you remember and then Click > Save ....and usually to My Documents.

NOW WAIT about 30 to 60 seconds as it will then copy the ENTIRE Registry to the restore file. It can take even up to 90 seconds if ypou havea lot of stuff installed. Hover your mouse cursor over it to see progress. DO NOT DARE INTERRUPT THE PROCESS UNTIL COMPLETED !!! or you may cause dreaded Registry Damage ! Do NOT mess up with impatience or doubt !

IF USED TO RESTORE THE REGISTRY... you Double Click the Registry back up file created and DON'T DARE INTERRUPT THE PROCESS and can take even up to five minutes for it to rewrite in the Registry.

Note, after any changes to the PC you need to Export the Registry again in a new back up file to restore to current state of the PC such as new softwares added etc. Recommended to do this like weekly or monthly as how many times in a lifetime will this ever need to be done. Every blue moon - but you need the back up like to restore the computer if hit by malware plus files back up correspondingly.
