Each Windows operating system is different, obviously, and when it comes to registry cleaners, your choice in an XP registry cleaner is no different. Before buying or running a free downloaded registry cleaner, check what we recommend here. You don't want to mess up your Windows registry and mess up your computer. It's worth a few well spent bucks for the peace of mind to purchase a good piece of reliable software from a reputable company, one that specifically addresses your particular operating system, in this case Windows XP.
The Windows XP registry is like any other Windows registry, with some interesting points we learned from Microsoft: Windows XP automatically makes what's called a "restore point" every day, and when you do things like install a new program this helps it with recovery if there is a problem. You can also create your own restore points in Windows XP. According to Microsoft, you need a minimum of 200 megabytes of free disk for System Restore. If you don't have it, XP won't do it automatically. You still need a good XP registry cleaner though, even with restore points.
How to choose the best XP registry cleaner? That's a good question. There are a lot of them out there and you can see our recommendation on this page. If you use a computer at work and are looking for one for home use, and have an IT manager or programmer in the office who is in charge of all the computers, ask them as a start, and perhaps get the same.
