Does anyone know of any good, effective (and preferably free) program that cleans out junk registry values?

it is time for spring cleaning after all....

I use ad-aware it's free and seems to work well.

I use Format C: at least once per year... It gets *everything*.

not quite a registry cleaner/manager though..

that's just a spyware hunter...

regcleaner also manages your registry... (like that annoying problem when you have a rogue program that you manually deleted from your harddrive instead of using the uninstall utility that was with that program...so, it's still in your remove programs list.... it'll clean that from the registry)

Do you have a link to that?

go to www.jv16.org to download the register cleaner. It's the offical website.
