Is there a utility that automatically "cleans" the registry? I don't want to go diving into the registry myself for fear I'll kill my Axim.

I use regitry mechanic 1.49...works fine for me.

Any favorite, easy to use one?

I tried trials of both MemMaid and SKTools and found MemMaid to be the most user friendly. However, from what I've read, SKTools may have more advanced features. Lots of people have both!

If you're not sure, try them out and see for yourself. Both developers are really good at updating versions so you really can't go wrong with either one.

Gigi's right on this one, i have both, and i didn't need a third program to use for maintainance for my unit :)

See, that's just it. I only want to buy one program to do it all (and honestly, I don't even know what that all is), so I continue to own nothing to clean up. The only thing I have is a freeware utility by ScaryBear called "CheckNotifications". It does a nice job clearing out event duplicatations. http://www.scarybearsoftware.com/ppc_cn_overview.html

I have lots of empty folders and concerns that my file explorer could use cleaning from all the stuff I download and that it could be more efficiently organized.
Perhaps I should have worded my question this way - Which one do you find yourself using most?

SK Tools has the most features and I use that the most.

All three programmes (PocketMechanic, SK Tools, MemMaid) have trials - when not try them and see which you prefer?

Just Jen

Thanks Rob. I'll put it on my to do list and start with SK Tools. I'm just not sure when I'll get to it. I've been so busy lately.

This may be a "dumb" question, but I'll ask it anyway. Does either SKTools or MemMaid provide for making changes to the registry? I looked at both sites and I didn't see anything that specifically mentioned registry changing.

Thanks,

I use PocketMechanic and MemMaid, both have some advantages, but the big one with PocketMechanic besides registry cleaning is memory card maintenance (defrag, format, etc.)

Not a dumb question. No, they do not allow registry editors.

RockyRR

Thanks, GiGi. I guess I'll look for another utility.....any suggestions?

PHM Registry Editor is a free one! Resco Explorer and Advanced Explorer also include a registry editor, but those are not freeware.

Thanks, GiGi!
