You will learn much by just perusing these forums Carolann.

In general, leaving the registry alone in XP is good advice - it does a
great job of taking care of the registry on it's own.
Now, I have the registered version of System Mechanic, and I do use it to
fix my registry, as well as delete obsolete files. I have used it for about
a year or so, and have not had any problems with it. I am careful about what
I allow it to delete, and typically it mainly finds the true safe stuff to
delete. Do I gain anything from this? I don't know, I do many things to keep
my pc in top notch shape with routine maintenance on a weekly basis.

Leaving well enough alone though sounds like a good idea.

thing happened again. I read this message AND LEAVING WELL ALONE on
this advice, I have never been here before and think its brilliant.
