Registry editing should be done by a human instead of an application, in my opinion, instead of an automated program. It does have a few additional features. Namely you have system restore and last known good configuration that can assist with registry problems. -- Galen - MS MVP - Windows (Shell/User & IE) http://dts-l.org/ Please note that if you're reading this in a browser and the domain is not owned by Microsoft then this work is being used without permission.

Does Windows XP Home Edition have a Registry Checker?
The last know good confirguation is accessed via safe mode and, basically,
is the last time the resgistry was saved - more than likely yesterday, because you have used the pc since. If the problem has persisted for a few days the last known good configuration will not be of use. Are you experiencing a specific problem or is it simply a case that you feel the registry needs attention? While XP home or Pro do not have their own registry checkers there are third party checkers available, but, as Galen has pointed out, registry editing is best left to human hands rather than software applications. Software registry checkers can delete options that you do not want removing, thus causing other problems. -- John Barnett MVP Associate Expert http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org The information in this post is supplied "as is".

Does Windows XP Home Edition have a Registry Checker?
Hi John,
Thanks for the advice. I was curious because I have Windows 98 standard edition on my old computer which has a registry checker feature. Therefore, when I got a computer with Windows XP Home Edition, I thought that it too would have a registry checker. No specific problems yet. I just wanted to know this in advance to avoid registry problems with Windows XP Home Edition in the future. Thanks again.
