"as if that implies some superior knowledge"

As always you are free to ASSUME what you want.

But ASSUMPTIONS often tend to be wrong.

 

"see the underlying pattern they know more, everybody else is dumb,"

And yet it is YOU that needs to directly insult and let your

ASSUMPTIONS control your actions.

 

"Microsoft should have killed the MVP program like they planned"

Do you communicate this to Microsoft as you have previously been told?

Or it it something you continuously whine?

 

"I simply don't like boastful windbags"

Interesting answer when I said:

"users need to know what a specific key does"

You seem to let your emotions take control when you do not like what

is said but you can not dispute the need for users to be

knowledgeable.

 

"you can't contain your anger"

So you say, and yet is is you unable to communicate without insulting.

Just because you imagine anger does not make it so.

If there is anger, it seems to be you since you are the one unable to

communicate without insults.

Keep ASSUMING, typical for you.

 

Don't bother answering unless you can do so in a civil manner.

I doubt you have the self control to be civil, but we shall see.

As someone who does a little programming on the side, and one who writes using windows

APIs,

let me make a comment on registry cleaners.

Yes they will find "currently unused registry entries."

Occasionally they will actually correct a registry related problem that will prevent

installation of a program.

 

However, keep in mind that there are lot of static registry entries that are in place to

ensure

backwards compatibility with older programs, especially when it comes to using API calls

to ordinals ( routines in DLL files )

Example, if I reference, in my application, a dll procedure from a dll that was included

with Windows 98 and that

dll has been upgraded / replaced by a newer dll in newer windows versions, the entries in

the registry will automatically point my program to the newest version of the DLL on the

machine in which the application is installed.

 

So, if the "base" entry has been removed from the registry, guess what, my backwards

compatible app fails to run.

 

So as was stated earlier in the thread, use "ANY" registry cleaner at your own risk, and

when the app you try to install

That's "supposed" to be compatible with your new windows version fails to run, don't blame

the author, restore your registry.

 

And yep I'm an MVP for a different technology and YEP I will include it in my sig.

I agree with most that it is not necessary and requires caution. That said

going to delete. Unless you do a huge amount of installing and uninstalling

Damn, Jupiter you're so good at back pedaling! That's your true

talent.

Not at all.

It is you that is so bad at misquoting others to suit your agenda.

It is not "back pedaling" to tell you I did not say what you claimed I

said when I never said it.

It is your imagination.

Of course if you can show where I said it.

But then if you could you already would have, but you CAN'T.

Instead you have shown yourself as one who need to misquote others.

Your continued attacks. void of facts.

 

Good bye Adam.

You continue to show you have NOTHING of value.

For those with a problem like mine on a system similar to mine,

it would be wise. But I may have hit on a great combination of

utility plus system configuration - it worked for me but might

be a problem for you. And, I will promote/support products or

procedures only after seeing a reasonable number of successes.

Microsoft has a FREE beta registry cleaner. It is part of One care! You can

download it on their main page.

I'm anything but a "fanboy," but I would like to see you present these

The fact is Registry Cleaners work when used properly is well

documented. All that's required is learning how to use Google and

you'll find countless articles from some REAL experts, not the fakers

that hang out here that confirm it.

Q. Why would anyone want to use a beta version of a MS registry cleaner?

Then please provide links to such purported documentation. In all the

years I've supported the various Windows operating systems, I've *never*

been able to find any verifiable, independent laboratory reports that

demonstrate the alleged value of registry cleaners. The only people

claiming that registry cleaners do any real good are the people selling

them.

No, all Google turns up is marketing crap from the purveyors of these

snake oil products. No independent laboratory reports that even hint at

any benefits from using registry cleaners are to be found.

That right there is the BEST registry cleaner. NONE.

If someone wants to mess up their machine, just run regedit and start deleting things.

There's NEVER any need to physically by hand delete registry keys.

The key's are just taking up drive space until needed. Get a bigger HD if the registry's that big.

I use SystemSuite5 and Crap Cleaner all the time and have never had a

problem on five Windows machines since 2000 when I started using first

SystemSuite4 and, later, Crap Cleaner. They have improved the

performance of my computers and have been *very* useful cleaning up the

crap that uninstalls and installs leave behind. As registry bloat is a

gradual thing, you don't even notice that your computer is getting

slower but it is.
