Default Free Registry clean-up / systems speed up programs for Vista Home Basic?

Are there any free Registry cleanup / systems speed up programs for Vista Home Basic out there or just the free limited trial with upgrade purchase required?

Free or otherwise, registry cleaning programs are *all* snake oil.
Cleaning of the registry isn't needed and is dangerous. Leave the
registry alone and don't use any registry cleaner. Despite what many
people think, and what vendors of registry cleaning software try to
convince you of, having unused registry entries doesn't really hurt
you.

The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner erroneously
removing an entry you need is far greater than any potential benefit
it may have.

Couldn't have said it better. Please, please, for the sake of system
stability, do NOT use a reg cleaner. Its all out there for marketing
when in actuality, they do nothing to improve performance.

Hi,

There are many registry cleaners in the market which claim Vista compatible,

however, almost all of them are NOT compatible with Vista and NOT Vista aware

at all. Using such registry cleaners on Vista systems often corrupt your registry

and cause more problems than they can fix but a good Vista registry cleaner can

help you keep your PC running smooth.
