What is a Computer Registry?
You may have heard the term computer registry but not know what it means. This article defines the term and outlines some common problems your registry may develop. What it is: Your computer sets aside some space on its hard drive in a place called a registry. This is used for storing information about the operational settings of your computer, such as user profiles, system details, and application-specific information. You can think of it as a kind of electronic notepad that your computer uses to remember important information about its own operation at the system level. Information is constantly being written to and then deleted from your computer registry. What can go wrong: Given all of this activity at such an important level of your computer's regular operations, registry errors can and do occur frequently. This is an extremely common problem and it is likely that most computers have at least a few registry errors. For example, when you remove a program, this action might accidentally delete or overwrite data that is vital to the smooth operation of your system. In addition to errors, registries on computers that are more than a year old can start to build up a cache of essentially useless data that in effect clogs up your system....

My program may well trash your operating system. Registry Repair: http://groups.google.com/group/noregrepairsbv I'm not going to totally wreck my computer by running your program, thanks. Neither should anyone else. |

He is an ignorant spammer too - he tries to sound like an expert yet he does

Micosoft have now purged the original message but I recall that the spammer made several statements such as "The registry is a file created by the computer". This is plain wrong. It's not the computer that creates/maintains the registry - it is Windows. Other operating systems use different methods that may not be registry-based. The mistake suggests that the spammer's expertise is of a selling rather than a technical nature - and it's snake oil he's pushing. |

DDW -- Reply via this group No email please Not at all - the original spam was probably deleted by some automatic Microsoft process before you read it. This particular spammer tries to flog his registry cleaner about once every week. Don't worry - you didn't miss anything. |

Here is the entire thread as seen on Google: http://groups.google.com/group/micro...e4fd720198035d You can see that Gerry is correct that Pegasus changed the subject title. |

Fortunately, there's a 10-step program for such syndromes. Unfortunately, I don't know what it is. |

If the "FACT" is that YOU can't find these things, then you would be "NOT "mistaken"". ;-) |
