Windows Registry Clean Utility?

mark4man · 12-02-2004, 12:35 PM

People,

On my box at home, I have Norton System Works, which contains a registry diagnostic/sweeper.

At work, where I run Windows 2000 Pro, I was wondering...I know there are various registry diagnostic & cleaner utilities out there on the web, but I thought I had heard that Windows itself either includes one on the OS disc or makes one available for download.

Is there such a thing as an official Windows Registry utility?

If so...how do I get it?

Thanks,

mark4man

I don't know that I'd use the word "Official", since MS no longer suppoorts it but this is the MS version of available through PC World.
