Now I never have to bother with your ignorance again. I feel bad for the
people who will wreck their computers following your advice.

No. You were being a pompous ass - as usual - and were readying to
lecture the OP about the relation or lack thereof between a "clean
registry" and the speed of one's computer.

You are so transparent.

What business is it of yours to put a proof-burden on the OP? You
didn't even indicate any kind of reason for asking for something so
ridiculous, not even so much as a curiousity factor on your part, which
we all know isn't your reason..
You have completely ignored the OP's question and are only looking

or a waste of time or whatever your agenda might happen to be when you
decide to pound the keyboard. That's dumb.

Leanard,

Do you have any proof for your ridiculous assertions? Particularly the
nonesense about how "erroneous data and information will lead to
further corruption of the disk system [and] file system"?

The assertions are not ridiculous, although your parroting certainly is, and you're becoming more and more well known for it
almost daily. I noticed neither you nor your puppetmaster jumped at the chance to settle it out awhile back when I issued the
challenge to do so.


The larger question is how much longer you plan to confuse people with
your outlandish and dangerous advice.

No, the larger question is, why do *YOU* and your sockpuppet and puppetmaster continue with this ridiculous campaign?
The only outlandish thing here is your lack of knowledge, attempting to misdirect conversations to simplisitic, irrelevant
points so it sounds good, along with your myopic views.

Oh yeah, also, QUIT SPAMMING FOR PC MAG! Your buddies will be reporting you.

registry hive system.

so clearing out those outdated
references is a good idea towards
maintaining the integrity of your
system.

further, when a user does not have
control over their own system to remove
any data, whether it is good or bad,
then the system may already corrupted
in some manner.

jv16 is ok, but it is not absolute because
many cleaners utilize different standards
and such intricate cleaners have to be kept
current with the software market place.

however utilizing a different reg cleaner, one
that simply reconciles registry keys to the
file system would have proven useful here.

in this case since you would have
installed flash ver 10, then the dirty
registry with keys pertaining to ver
9 would have been reconciled to
the flash folder on the disk and
then removed.

No, it's neither silly nor dumb; It's outrages! I suspect that he's getting
some kind of sexual gratification from all this. Almost all of his
(including a couple of other frequent contributors) initial responses are
meant to demean the original poster using snipes and grandiosity.
These three (3) individuals must have a miserable existance; Their lonly
desire to be noticed has no bounds. Newsgroups are ideal for these sorry
individuals to exercise their imaginary superiority, oh well.

Agree wholeheartedly!

Actually, /why/ you want to remove the registry entries is very
important..to the many of us who actually care about users' welfare
vs. simply handing out information which may or may not do you any
favors and which may come back to haunt you.

And then again, he may already know and feel that it's counterproductive
to enter into such an arcane discussion. Your refusing to help becuase
he doesn't give a "why" answer is silly and a decision that is not yours
to make. You can ask but you cannont insist or intimate your own
opinion as applying to him. We all know how flawed your opinions are.


Granted, you are free to do with your computer what you want. However,
if your larger purpose is to understand how to use your computer
wisely, understanding what you think you want to accomplish is most
important. OTOH, if you aren't that interested in your computer well,
best of luck to you.
