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

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.

question not why I wanted to remove them.

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. When a small mind is a closed mind,
it will never grow as evidenced by some of these "guru" types who have
had exactly ONE experience in their background and, more often and
likely, NONE.

someone that goes by "unknown"
will never have any creditability
nor can it be a measurement of
any worth because it reflects
a lack of value for oneself.

there is more respect for
those who are known by
some measure of experience

Well sure, as long as they get their information right. But when they
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. Or at least some of us
aren't.

someone that goes by "unknown"
will never have any creditability
nor can it be a measurement of
any worth because it reflects

You can say that again; it would be comedic if they weren't spreading

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!

Default Deleting a Registry Entry

Can't you read and UNDERSTAND? It was asked, mentioned using your word, to
determine if you think you're impressing someone. Are you?

Is this supposed to impress someone?

Default Deleting a Registry Entry

I can't believe you're so dense that you don't understand advertising. That
link is an enticement for you to eventually
purchase OneCare at a cost of about $50.00. You probably believe Microsoft
developed that registry cleaner.
If you do, you're dumber than I thought.

Well, that link, at the top of the page, says:
Speed up your PC with our free registry cleaner
Speed up your PC with our free registry cleaner
What's made up about that? Or the whole rest of the article for that
matter?


Isn't it interesting how people dream up things; such as

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.

Thanks Shenan , In RegEdit do I right click on unneeded registry
entry and select properties and give permission from there? I will
give that a try. Larry

Thanks for suggestion Bo, but safe mode did not work either.

As for the other responders, I appreciate you taking the time to
read my problem entry, but how to remove the entries was the
question not why I wanted to remove them.

was installed by Adobe flashplayer. I uninstalled Flash
player and Shockwave player and ran jv16 again. Still had 12
instances of "flash9b.ocx" and still could not delete them. I ran
regedit and went to the entries and still was unable to
delete them. How can I delete these entries?
Give yourself permissions using RegEdit to delete them.
