What you haven't done, for all of your posturing, is tell why you think registry cleaning is a good idea. We know that there's always a chance that a neophyte will "clean" something that will result in trouble, and even if the chance is remote, there must be something that makes the risk worthwhile. If you just want to clean out orphaned entries because their presence bothers you, that's a personal neurosis and not evidence of efficacy. Do you believe that large numbers of orphaned entries cause a problem (such as significantly slowing down the system) other than their mere presence? If so, what objective evidence do you have? Note that "I know my system's faster after registry cleaning" isn't objective evidence. You're completely wrong. For answers to your own question see one of my other responses. As usual, you only think about orphaned entries and nothing else in your myopic state of unreadiness. You parrot but you know nothing about what you say. HTH, Twayne |

OT Registry cleaner ?
How you come about that preposterous supposition is a question for the ages
I'm afraid. Your'e off topic and off your feed. Redirecting a thread doesn't work for a lot of people. Worst are the ones who won't follow what's already been established and mix the order anyway. So here's your glorious top post; snipped yet. In , Peter Foldes typed: What are you talking about? I am not going to read 50 lines of text I have already read previously just to find out. And there you go. snip |

As for your last sentence, projection won't do you much good; you have to become an actual thinking person as opposed to a mindless follower without anything to back up or verify what you claim.

None of which tells us ANYTHING about why you think we should not use registry cleaners, and what harm you think they do. And they never will, Steve. I used to gently prod for something, anything, that would lead them to their decisions and opinions. If there were any truth to their contentions, there would be a LOT of information all over the web sites about the subject of how useless they are. But it's only a small clique here wanting to force their opinions on the newbies and weaker personalities they might suck in. Nowadays I just take every opportunity to expose their lies and misinformation; it's more fun anyway, since they have absolutely nothing but a few anecdotal messages to back up their claims.

Registry cleaners have done an immense amount of good for me, ranging from speeding boot times on occastion, getting programs back and working that were hijacked by a leftover entry the prog just happened to pick up, faster registry-load times into RAM, etc., all the way to doing nothing perceptible. That's what they've done for me. Orphaned entries are irrelevant but apparently the only thing you thing cleaners do. You are so wrong. It's only intentional ignorance that gives you your own warm fuzzies, I'm afraid. I'd love to see you trying to get a machine working right again after say Office quits working, won't start, won't uninstall and won't reinstall. Do you even have a hint how many regisry entries you'll find for MS Office? After replacing msinstaller and ten more minutes, I fired up the registry cleaner and within a minute or so had MS Office removed from the registry since I'd deleted all the files it could try to access. Why bother with programs that at best do nothing other than give you a fuzzy feeling and that at worst will cause problems requiring you to restore registry files? NO SENSE at all! But I don't have any such programs, so ... . Oh, and in over a decade I've never had a cleaner do any damage to a single byte on my machines. The good ones are just as robust as the registry is these days but even the first ones didn't damage anything as you like to keep repeating ad infinitum in your dazed condition. That is if the registry cleaner can even restore its own backup (often they can't) or if it hasn't crippled the installation to the point where the Windows can't boot properly. Ahh, there we a You must download crapola without so much as a thought to whether the source is going to be legitimate or not. Go looking for no names and you'll find damaging software in a lot more than registry cleaners! By contrast, there are very few of them compared to other possibilities of malware and adware. I've never had any machine damaged in any way by any of the ones I use. I've never even had to use the "recovery" functions of any of them, mostly because I won't use a program that relies on having malware present in order to run, of which there used to be quite a few of them. These cleaners are next to utterly useless and the purposed non existent benefits parroted by the vendors and fans of these programs are simply not worth the risk of the real damages that these programs can and do sometimes cause. Let's see, that long run on sentence says exactly the opposite of what reality is. There's no more risk than installing any reputable program/s barring power outages, etc.. THEY - DO - NO - DAMAGE - NOT - EVEN - SOMETIMES . It's too bad you insist on keeping your running intentional ignorance and have absolutely no, nada, not even an inkling of any actual evidence to support your foolish contentions. As for benefits parroted by vendors: So now you're saying hype shouldn't be believed? Hmm, that pretty much puts Microsoft and a lot of other big boys in the tank!
