Dear GFK,
Personaly, I would recomend Norton Registry cleaner, but that may be pricey and more difficult to get. There is a free registry cleaner that works just as good, if not better, called "Registry Mechanic" and you can find it here: http://www.pctools.com/registry-mechanic/download/

What XP Registry Cleaner program do you consider the SAFEST first of all, then the best at eliminating unneeded and outdated registry entries?
Thanks,
