Deleting a Registry Entry
isn't interesting how small
minded people take ownership of microsoft's operating system and have the balls to persuade others to disregard the manufacturer's recommendations, i.e. microsoft: http://onecare.live.com/site/en-US/a...leaner_why.htm You can say that again; it would be comedic if they weren't spreading misinformation under the guise of being know-alls and having the only opinion on earth that matters, even in the face of volumes of evidence and experiences to the contrary.

don't, be prepared to be corrected on it. As I said before, we're not still back in the days of using EDLIN and DBASE1.

How laughable! Let's make sure we all get this right: Everybody, but you, (of course), is wrong. Everybody, but you, spreads misinformation. Everybody, but you, is closed mind. And nobody, but you, has any experience in their background to make informed decisions on the usefulness of registry cleaners. You speak of "volumes of evidence and experiences to the contrary" but other than spam and commercial advertising material you have never been able to provide any unbiased independent research to back your opinions. Where is this "volume of evidence"? The overwhelming volume of evidence provided by most of the independent experts is that cleaning the registry does absolutely nothing to improve performance, why should we believe you instead of all the others who disagree with you? What makes you think that you are the only one here who is qualified to deliver a verdict on these registry cleaners? I read many of your posts in these groups and you often imply that you have an open mind, and a good thing that you have or else your head would explode, your rear end is shut so tight that it all backs up to your mind and then it comes out of your ears sideways!
