I just wanna clean my compy up a bit, so like registry cleanup and other stuff to make it run more efficiently without having to format because I can't be bothered to get everything back to how I like it...

So what sort of registry cleaners, disk deframenter etc for performance boosts would you guys recommend?

Cheers,
Simon
