Hi Chris,

Out of interest, why preferably the personal edition?  Just because it is
cheaper, or does the pro version have accessibility issues?

Incidentally, I tried this program, and it messed up the registry on a test
machine I have.  Personally I wouldn't touch it.

All the best

Steve

Hi, in terms of a registry cleaner, try Advanced Windows Care, preferably
the Personal Edition, from www.iobit.com. Hope that helps.
