Default Registry Problems...

Adam,

Your best bet is to:
A) Use REGEDIT from the MS-Dos command prompt of the Windows Run option.

B) Export your registry files to your hard drive.

C) Use Notepad to open the files (DO NOT USE REGEDIT TO OPEN THE FILES)

D) Use the Notepad FIND command to find programs you have removed such as
games like Doom or something.

E) Delete the entries yourself.

F) Use REGEDIT to Import the files back into your registry.

From personal experience I have messed up more little duckies with registry
clean programs which clobbered the register and I was unable to boot the
system!!!

This might be to general of a question, but I believe that I am having
problems with my registry. Is there any way, preferably free, that I can fix
these problems? I tried to download a program to fix them, but they wanted
me to purchases the program to actually take care of my registry problems,
which they said I had something like 347 of.
Oh and I am running Windows XP Professional on a Dell notebook.
Thanks.
