Default Registry Cleaner - does one exists?

Speaking of a closed mind. You have been given data from a computer repair
shop owner indicating the hundreds of
computers he has repaired that was caused by a 'registry cleaner'. Yet you
refuse to accept that.
Are you in the business of computer repair? Is that why you keep pushing
registry cleaners?
Perhaps YOU personally haven't been harmed by a registry cleaner but what
about the hundreds that have?

What about RegDefense?

thx


lol, I KNEW the droids with the closed minds, nothing to back up their
claims and misinformation would have to crawl out of the woodwork for this
one and there it is. This is the one that keeps saying not to use a
program written by someone who knows the registry and how to program, and
instead use regedit, which you probably don't understand, to fix a
registry, which you also probably don't understand.
He talks like a fix to the registry is a one-location thing and it's
done, when in fact there are usually many locations related to a possible
program problem, each of which must be considered. But mostly he's a
closed minded ignorant with a boilerplate he likes to use, adding a mod
here & there sometimes to further differentiate it from where it was
stolen from. Then, to back himself up, he provides links to discussions
where he's used info very close to his boilerplate, and submitted by him.

There is a small group of such ignorants here who get really upset at
being called on their misinformation; they'll crawl into the pic soon
here, I'm sure, because every time someone calls them they get more and
more flustered and think that by repeating the same misinformation over
and over someone might believe it.

This post in particular is interesting in the way it conflicts with
itself. But, it does make for a comedic moment should one bother to read
it, or at least scan it quickly.

Thanks for this opportunity Bruce,

Twayne

There is no such thing as a "good" (meaning useful or
beneficial) registry cleaner, free or otherwise. Some
are less harmful than others, but because they're all
nothing but snake oil, I won't recommend any.
Why do you even think you'd ever need to clean your
registry? What specific *problems* are you actually
experiencing (not some program's bogus listing of
imaginary problems) that you think can be fixed by using
a registry "cleaner?"
