[Opensource] Registry Cleaning Utility

[Roland Gesthuizen]

Here is a cute, open source windows utility. I just read a favorable blog
post that just reviewed it.

> "Software Rot"), application program errors, and even misapplied registry

> realizing that dozens of Registry entries aim to the old location.

Whilst nothing beats a core operating system that is robust enough that it
doesn't need a registry, in any case .. having something like this handy to
buff up and polish the registry on my Windows XP VM sounds like a handy
tool, especially after installing / removing heaps of applications and it
decides to go belly up.

Also interested in hearing from others that have used this tool.
