Deleting a Registry Entry
I have Administrative privileges and I ran jv16powertools to cleanout
unneeded registry entries. It showed twelve(12) instances of "Flash9b.ocx", but would not let me delete them. This was installed by Adobe flashplayer. I uninstalled Flash player and Shockwave player and ran jv16 again. Still had 12 instances of "flash9b.ocx" and still could not delete them. I ran regedit and went to the entries and still was unable to delete them. How can I delete these entries? Larry |

Deleting a Registry Entry
Why do you feel you need to delete these registry keys? Are they causing
your computer to malfunction? Are they contributing to poor performance in some way that you can prove? --- Leonard Grey Errare Humanum Est Security Tips for Everyone, from PC Magazine http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2334856,00.asp Larry wrote: I have Administrative privileges and I ran jv16powertools to cleanout unneeded registry entries.

Deleting a Registry Entry
erroneous data and information
serves no purpose other than to corrupt the integrity of a system which will lead to further corruption of the disk system, file system and registry hive system. so clearing out those outdated references is a good idea towards maintaining the integrity of your system. further, when a user does not have control over their own system to remove any data, whether it is good or bad, then the system may already corrupted in some manner. jv16 is ok, but it is not absolute because many cleaners utilize different standards and such intricate cleaners have to be kept current with the software market place. however utilizing a different reg cleaner, one that simply reconciles registry keys to the file system would have proven useful here. in this case since you would have installed flash ver 10, then the dirty registry with keys pertaining to ver 9 would have been reconciled to the flash folder on the disk and then removed. -- db·´¯`·...¸)))º DatabaseBen, Retired Professional - Systems Analyst - Database Developer - Accountancy - Veteran of the Armed Forces "Larry" wrote in message ...

Do you have any proof for your ridiculous assertions? Particularly the

You didn't even indicate any kind of reason for asking for something so ridiculous, not even so much as a curiousity factor on your part, which we all know isn't your reason.. You have completely ignored the OP's question and are only looking for an opening to tell him how it's not to be done or it's silly to do or a waste of time or whatever your agenda might happen to be when you decide to pound the keyboard. That's dumb.

Deleting a Registry Entry
Thanks Shenan , In RegEdit do I right click on unneeded registry entry and
select properties and give permission from there? I will give that a try. Larry Thanks for suggestion Bo, but safe mode did not work either. As for the other responders, I appreciate you taking the time to read my problem entry, but how to remove the entries was the question not why I wanted to remove them.

Deleting a Registry Entry
Actually, /why/ you want to remove the registry entries is very
important..to the many of us who actually care about users' welfare vs. simply handing out information which may or may not do you any favors and which may come back to haunt you. Granted, you are free to do with your computer what you want. However, if your larger purpose is to understand how to use your computer wisely, understanding what you think you want to accomplish is most important. OTOH, if you aren't that interested in your computer well, best of luck to you. --- Leonard Grey Errare Humanum Est Security Tips for Everyone, from PC Magazine http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2334856,00.asp Larry wrote: Thanks Shenan , In RegEdit do I right click on unneeded registry entry and select properties and give permission from there?

OT Deleting a Registry Entry
Leanard,
Do you have any proof for your ridiculous assertions? Particularly the nonesense about how "erroneous data and information will lead to further corruption of the disk system [and] file system"? The assertions are not ridiculous, although your parroting certainly is, and you're becoming more and more well known for it almost daily. I noticed neither you nor your puppetmaster jumped at the chance to settle it out awhile back when I issued the challenge to do so. The larger question is how much longer you plan to confuse people with your outlandish and dangerous advice. No, the larger question is, why do *YOU* and your sockpuppet and puppetmaster continue with this ridiculous campaign? The only outlandish thing here is your lack of knowledge, attempting to misdirect conversations to simplisitic, irrelevant points so it sounds good, along with your myopic views. Oh yeah, also, QUIT SPAMMING FOR PC MAG! Your buddies will be reporting you. --- Leonard Grey Errare Humanum Est Security Tips for Everyone, from PC Magazine http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2334856,00.asp db.·.. ))) ·` .. . wrote: erroneous data and information serves no purpose other than to corrupt the integrity of a system which will lead to further corruption of the disk system, file system and registry hive system. so clearing out those outdated references is a good idea towards maintaining the integrity of your system. further, when a user does not have control over their own system to remove any data, whether it is good or bad, then the system may already corrupted in some manner. jv16 is ok, but it is not absolute because many cleaners utilize different standards and such intricate cleaners have to be kept current with the software market place. however utilizing a different reg cleaner, one that simply reconciles registry keys to the file system would have proven useful here. in this case since you would have installed flash ver 10, then the dirty registry with keys pertaining to ver 9 would have been reconciled to the flash folder on the disk and then removed. |
