    OK...have read the various magazine tests...have googled the concept...would like real world views here if you would be so kind. I'm looking for something to clean up the M1330. Based on all my reading, I've sort of narrowed it down to CCleaner and Registry Mechanic, but there are a lot of choices. Your favorites? Why?

    CCleaner is my favorite. It has NEVER caused me any issues! I've been using it for a couple of years now. The makers of CCleaner also have a free defragmenting program, Defraggler, that works quite well, and will allow you to defragment just one file if you want.

    For free it would be CCleaner; for cost - jv16PowerTools.
