Norton SystemWorks, if you have it, has one built-in.
On the side, I like RegCleaner:

Some people don't like this one cause its a bit powerful and might erase things
you need. But, they do have a backup option to undo mistakes.

Thanks Troth, any opinion on Reg cleaner? These systems get a lot of
installing and uninstalling of software and they are getting slower than they
should
be. Housecleaning time.
Thanks
