There is a free one called CCleaner - Download CCleaner 3.27.1900 - FileHippo.com

When you have installed the application, its the second option on the left menu bar, this will clean up your registry.

Any probs just ask and I'll help :)

If you have security virus protection, the package often includes a registry clean up option.

Cluttered registry is not necessarily a cause for a "buggy" computer. Heck, it's debatable as to whether cleaning your registry even actually speeds the system up. The things that slow a NTFS Windows system are too many programs, startup entries, and too many running services from installing programs and affiliated bloatware.

But yes, Ccleaner is good at what it does. :D

when you use Ccleaner be sure to use the AUTOMATIC SETTINGS! If you dont know what you're doing then don't use manual :D . Oh, and also, depending whether you're a MAC or PC person, as well as the current OS you're running on (operating system, ex windows 7) you can use the command prompt to end and stop different start up processes and current processes. The computers speed(unless infected by a virus, in which case i recommend a good firewall and virus cleaner) is directly proportional to your processors and memory. If you're using an IDE hard drive, you can also defrag your harddrive as well to speed up processes, aka speed correlation to memory. Just a few tips that can speed up your comp GREATLY. oh, and on defragging, current windows opperating systems offer a GUI interface for defrag mode! Just click the start up menu, type defrag in the search bar. And depending on your version of Windows, you can actively scan for fragmentation percentages. If a drive is fragmented 10 percent or higher, then defrag it(if less than, do not defrag, you're fine :) ... anyways! depending on the percentages higher than 10 will greatly effect the speed process of the defragmentation process itself, so be prepared to wait LOL. and ALWAYS, after changing system settings/configurations restart the computer after applying the new settings... and NEVER, i repeat NEVER delete system 32 lol, it = death :p

Well... some of what rocking4christ says is true. There's not much point in using command prompt for start up items and running services, as you can do that from msconfig without command line knowledge (and even then, if you don't know what you're doing, don't touch the more user-friendly msconfig).

Defragging provides negligible improvements, despite popular belief - but then, it's also subjective to how fragmented your drive is. Also, it doesn't matter whether your hard drive is IDE, SATA, USB, or SCSI - you can still defrag it. What you want to avoid is defragging a SSD (solid state drive).
