I like it, but then they gave it to me for Beta Testing and sent the product key at the end of it
Tune Up 2004 is the only trial version of any programme I have used that I have gone on to purchase, they are comfortable with you installing it on any PC you use, without having to buy multiple licences

Thanks for your response, Keith. TuneUp Utility 2006 has had nothing but great reviews from every web page that I Googled. The part that I find a little distressing is that it picked up so many Registry values for deletion, while my Registry Mechanic has missed all of these. I will be the first to say, I know very little about Windows Registry, and therefore I am hesitant to make all of the changes that TuneUp Utilities 2006 has recommended.
Having only used the 2004 version, which I also read nothing but great reviews, would you be comfortable following all of the utility's recommendations? 200 Registry keys for deletion??? Either Registry Mechanic is not the almighty product that I thought it was, or TuneUp is insane. Obviously, with such a wide discrepency, one of the software is way off base and not worth its expectations.
I guess what I am really getting at is, do you think TuneUp is to be trusted and Registry Mechanic worthless? TuneUp had made a great deal of recommendations to improve my computer aside from the Registry deletes.
I'm just trying to pick someone's brain who has a much better knowledge of Windows Registry than myself. Thank you for any advice or input you can provide me.

I have had Tune Up 2006 since testing all the beta versions, which I did for TuneUp in Germany, at the end of the testing, they gave me a product key
If you install it at the default setting, it will back up any changes it makes

This is how it backs up and you just press a button to undo any or all

You can set a restore point first
Also try this, emergency recovery utility NT
http://www.larsheder...nline.de/erunt/
Use the registry back up which will be a safeguard, create a folder in my documents, then change the save to location as the new folder, it should date them so you can restore them easily, it will usually be the most recent which needs restoring, if any
