registry entries
how do you identify which registry entries are associated to which programs?
I ask this because I have started to clean my registry regularily and have found entries that clearly identify the programs they are associated with but have also found entries that make no sense, particularily in my start up for example, ws35tnh with a value of piched20.exe. Please help |

"how do you identify which registry entries are associated to which
programs?" That requires both a detailed understanding of the Windows registry and a detailed knowledge of how a particular program is installed. "I have started to clean my registry regularily..." This is both unnecessary and dangerous. And, quite frankly, given your level of knowledge, foolish.

Your response was presumptious and quite frankly useless.

I use registry mechanic every six months or so, we have students loading and
removing programs on a frequent basis on four shared computers. I have found the program very safe and useful.

The correct procedure in your situation is to maintain an updated, known
good image of the system partition, which you can restore in a matter of minutes. -- Ted Zieglar "You can do it if you try." "specalodion" wrote in message ...

I would suggest you consider cCleaner as an alternative. It is favoured
over Registry Mechanic in some circles or was when the topic arose some months ago. http://www.ccleaner.com/ccdownload.asp http://www.ccleaner.com/ With any cleaner you need to proceed with caution. I invariably recommend creating a restore point before using cCleaner. cCleaner also offers backup before removal. -- Hope this helps.
