'''Registry Mechanic''', developed by PC Tools is a popular system utility for Windows.
The software attempts fix errors within the registry, such software is controversial among experts and enthusiasts alike as some claim these tools are a necessity while others claim they do more harm than good.
Some users suggest a combination of registry "cleaners", the rule of thumb being no one tool can find or fix all discrpencies in the registry, while others may recommend a product based soley on the combination of so-called errors it finds in one scan, rather than realistically analayzing the severity of the "problems" found.⏎
Users are advised to read all Help files before making such changes, and to prevent the possibility of damaging the registry.

Version 5 includes a "Compact Registry" feature, whether this is of any significant importance, again is a matter for debate.
Users can download a trial and purchase the full version later if they wish.
