There are a lot of System Fixers/Maintainers/Registry Repairers out there,
which one is the best and what do you recommend?
I've had good results with Registry Mechanic and heard good things about
RegistryBooster 2 and noticed that they are Certified Microsoft Partners.

None. It isn't really necessary to "maintain" the registry. If you have
changes you want to make and can't do it by hand, leave it alone. Or you'll
be posting back here shortly with a hosed Windows/Office install, crying
about it. At that point, no one will be sympathetic.
See this thread for details about registry cleaners:

I recommend RegRun Gold or better Platinum. These are not Registry
Cleaner they guard the registry from being written to as well as other
system security measures. Been using it for years.

Besides sophisticated Registry Protection the RegRun Rescue which creates
an automated backup scenario for the Registry and other important files which
which you can add to is Excellent.

The best one is *none* of them. I recommend against all such programs.
Registry cleaning programs are *all* snake oil. Cleaning of the
registry isn't needed and is dangerous. Leave the registry alone and
don't use any registry cleaner. Despite what many people think, and
what vendors of registry cleaning software try to convince you of,
having unused registry entries doesn't really hurt you.
The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner erroneously
removing an entry you need is far greater than any potential benefit
it may have.

Mr. Hall gives good advice!
If you need a registry repair to get the system to boot, then you need one
procedure.
1. Back up your files (somehow) - this should be done regularly, and I'm
as guilty as anyone for not doing it often enough
2. repair the registry only enough to let the system boot
3. If it does, back up your files (can't be stressed enough)
4. Re-install the OS, and start over. (which gets rid of the registry
mess-up)
The only use for these things is in dire need. They can, and will cause
greif.
If your system boots, you don't want it.
Don't mess with a system that keeps your computer running, unless you're
prepared for the results.
Or for a more personal comparison:
Don't eat spicy food, unless you can take the results.

The best advice that anyone can give you is this:
If you are not competent enough to manually edit the registry, then leave
well alone.
In general registry repair software usually ends up causing more trouble
than it 'apparently' cures. My advise is stay well clear of them.
