A good program that can be used to clean all the unnecessary junk off of your computer (including cleaning erronuous registry entries) is CCleaner. It can be downloaded at http://www.ccleaner.com/.

tune up 2006 utilities have a 30 day trial that works ok. Really you would find your time better spent in removing any and all spyware and then optimizing your startup files to remove the junk not used. Auto updaters and the like grab a lot of resourses for little return. Another big hog of resourses is the so called security suites and their bloated security centers. Better to use individual programs that  are streamlined and serve the same uses.

I find TuneUp Utilities to be better than C-Cleaner for registry cleaning. C-cleaner is free, but you can try TuneUp Utilities free for 30 days to get a good cleaning in.\nhttp://www.tune-up.com/products/tuneup-utilities

Hello,\n\nI am quite happy to answer your question as I am the CEO of ParetoLogic, the makers of RegCure. The Windows Registry is quite complex and every registry cleaning application uses its own algorithm to scan the registry. It is apparent from your posting that Registry Mechanic uses different detection criteria than RegCure, thus producing different results.\nThanks for your interest in RegCure!\n\nBest Regards,\nElton Pereira

I purchased it and it did some registry fixes fairly good. However, I consider it poorly designed and it is constantly provideing advertising of their other products which I found to be poorly conceived. Overall, I found it helpful for a couple of things and useless for all others. Additionally, it slowed down my computer to a stop. I uninstalled it after using it's utility.

Typically NO, your registry is going to be specific to your computer and the programs/OS associated with it. It would be near impossible to make a "Generic" .REG file that anyone could use. I would rather see you run any and all utilities on your computer to speed it up. There are some registry cleaning programs but please make sure you back up your registry first, it is very easy and quick.

I use Registry Mechanic, Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE Personal, Yahoo Spyware Cleaner and the other components already on your computer.

I don't know of any free registry cleaning tool that does a good job. My recommendation is the VCOM System Suite. It has a very good regristry cleaning/defragmenting tool that can speed up your computer significantly. You may be able to get a copy of Systemsuite for around $39.
