I like doing FULL installs of my software as I get tired of popping in a CD. So, when I installed Print Artist V12, I elected to put on everything. 7 disc's of data/graphics/fonts. I slammed in MS Publisher 2k, MS Home publisher. Fonts, graphics, and more fonts. I won't mention MS office 2003, wordperfect office and various other space/registry hungry programs.. The ole registry gets so big, I've seen my 500mhz P3 just about out perform my 2.4ghz P4/HT. Twice the ram, 10times the HD space. The registry gets way too big and performance drags in a big way. I got to where I would boot up and go take a shower and comeback just as it was loading it's 38 processes.

Mess with the registry? That's what backups are for. That's what reg restore is for. I've never had a PC that I had to "reinstall everything" because of registry issue. I had hardware issue after an install that required me to "go back" to a previous registry backup but I'm just a average user with enough PC background to get myself out of trouble but it's taken working with win 3.0, 3.1, workgroups, 95, 98se, and now XP to gain the ability to not fear anything MS has to offer. So, when you REALLY want to get ride of anything from, lets say Symantec, do you trust the UNINSTALL program to clean it out? No, I don't and for good reason. It leaves all kinds of junk behind. Cleaning your registry may not give you the boost in speed your looking for but it does help weed out future software issues. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13215100 Wed, 20 Apr 2005 05:42:15 EDT Re: [Free] Awesome Registry Cleaner-Windows Cleaner 2005 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13207274 malirene : WC beta 3 is out. ;)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13207274 Tue, 19 Apr 2005 11:03:41 EDT Re: [Free] Awesome Registry Cleaner-Windows Cleaner 2005 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13127147 malirene : WC 3.5.0.0 beta 2 with new interface is out ;)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13127147 Sat, 09 Apr 2005 10:12:23 EDT Re: [Free] Awesome Registry Cleaner-Windows Cleane http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,12945787 Indy Sabre : Thanks for the info, I knew that.

I have been using RegScrubXP - »www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=2048

and it didn't find any of those things so I was leary of letting CC do its thing.

With RegScrubXP it automatically keeps a back up everytime I clean. I found it here in an old thread when I was looking specifically for a cleaner that wasn't overly agressive.

So my take is, that unless you fully understand everything your cleaner is doing (which i don't), pick one that isn't too agressive and one that automatically keeps restore files in an easy uto use interface should you need to restore something you cleaned that you shouldn't of.

There she blows right up, in your face ;) The point remains, from my perspective that one must either wait some considerable time, until a cleaner actually defines the action performed; correlates with the desired result.

There is still no GUI interface that I have seen, that a newb could use or even people a wee bit smarter; that understands the end result of any Reg cleaner. As has been mentioned by salzan, caution with good reason.

I realize that the reason these were flagged is that they are not associated with an "open with" command. I will repair these myself by associating them but I would be leery of removing the entries for fear of breaking one of the programs using this file type.

I'm afraid I've lost something in the translation here too illJazz See Profile.
Not so much in the image text, but the overall point the poster was trying to make.

What our friend is showing in the example is a typical registry Key that is of no use anymore.
You've seen them many times come up as "File or path does not exist", "unused open with entry", "invalid dll's", "useless or empty keys" etc when using a Registry Cleaner.

I've hesitated to respond to this thread again, because it's impossible for me to condense anything it seems. (IE, I talk too much. :D).

Basically, the registry stores information and settings related to Hardware, Software, Users Preferences, and pretty much everything else dealing with you machine.

Even something like a slight change to, say a tweak to increase the menu speed, actually is changing a Key value behind the scenes in the registry.

The GUI makes it seem like a little point and click change, but in fact, the actual change is being made and stored in the registry. (A program like 'TweakUI" for example is nothing more than a "registry tweaker" with a user friendly interface).

You could actually make the same changes manually. In fact, if you were familiar with the registry, and were bored to death, you could conceivably customise virtually every Windows setting all from the registry.

The various "GUI's" of Windows simply 'automates' the process so to speak....(and keeps you out of trouble)

Darn it! I knew I shouldn't have started this. There is a lot of good reading out there for those that want to learn more. (I also may have only confused the issue even further).

As our friend "malirene" shows, removing the empty "session" Key and its useless values, is making the registry smaller by a total of a measly 4 "entries".
He/she also points out that there can literally be hundreds (or even thousands) of the useless entries from installing/uninstalling programs etc over time, adding/ removing hardware, and numerous other changes the system goes through.

This is where it becomes unclear to me as to the point being made...considering there can be upwards of 50,000 or more entries (actually, I think considerably more are possible..like 1 or 200,000), I'm not sure if the poster is agreeing with me in so much as even removing several hundred useless entries is somewhat futile, considering the total number of entries in an enormous database.

OR, if He/She is saying that this is a real problem and the need for newer and better Cleaners are necessary as eventually things will get bogged down.
(My feelings are STILL that random cleaning is dangerous).

Last but not least, I'm having a much more difficult time understanding the "follow up" quote than I am the screen shot:
quote:
Some people believe, some not but some people taking about “buck” witch one newer read or read just title. Before any comments I think is fear to finish with reading, right?
Here is small example what WC does with registry. BTW information for fast readers, this is not only thing.


I'm really not sure if the poster is saying:
"What's the matter with you people???"
"I buy you Books" ("bucks"), "and all you do is read the covers"! (Or chew on the covers). :D

In other words, "read up on this stuff some more before forming an opinion". :o

Maybe it's even directed at me.....don't know.

Care to fill us in a little more if possible malirene as to the basic point you want to get across?

I do know one thing....I will spare you all and won't be commenting in this thread again.
I have failed miserably again to keep it brief as you can see, while at the same time saying very little. :uhh:

As a matter of fact, I think I'll add a little "disclaimer" at the beginning of the post. :o :uhh: ;)

Lol...that was good. The problem with Cleaners have been, to date; They have been indiscriminate on newbie deletes or to be a wee bit more concise -Don't allow for aberrations performed by newbies. The GUI interface on most are not that user friendly, in terms of discriminating differences between what's bad, good or ugly! Most users using a reg cleaner have absolutely no idea what the progo is suggesting!

They just click, clean...Not entirely their fault, I'm yet to see one of these progo's that actually step a newbie through what should, or should not be done! Without confusing the issue.

It's prudent to become familair with your OS Reg files, before using the options, provided to date by cleaners.

I do understand you point too. Perhaps when I give this speech, I'm a bit too harsh.

However, to answer your question....unless I'm experiencing a specific problem that involves the registry, I pretty much leave it alone these days. (I also learned this the hard way like many others).
I may, especially if I'm bored, even do some manual cleaning after uninstalling a program.

I MAY even run a Cleaner once in a while...and look very carefully at what it finds.
If it's not obvious what the entry is, it should be left alone.
The key here, I believe, is knowing what you are doing and what the Registry Cleaner is doing.

I did say I'm "not a strong believer" in Registry Cleaners. You are absolutely right that many (most) programs have lousy uninstallers, and there is often a bunch of crap left behind.

Usually, this won't create any problems....sometimes, it may. In cases like this, I suppose a registry cleaner can be somewhat beneficial.

I still feel, if you must use a registry Cleaner, use one that you like and "trust", rather than an entire suite of them.
And then, just be very sure you know exactly what it is you are removing. And backup the Registry first.
And then, stop worrying about it.

My former post was aimed more at people that run multiple Registry Cleaners, and then just automatically delete every entry they find, without even knowing whether it's something critical or not.....or for that matter what it's original purpose was (or still is!)
I do however think to majority of the users in these Forums know better.

Still, while I wasn't always this way, the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" approach is pretty much how I deal with the registry these days....and I rarely have problems.

Of course, having a good backup of your System and of the registry itself is very important. ESPECIALLY, if people feel like "cleaning" a lot.

I STILL feel like cleaning the registry is more about giving one that sense of "Oh boy everything is nice and clean now", more than it is anything all that beneficial.

I also think the more "cleaning" one does, the better the chances are of screwing something up.

I've seen way too many people get in serious trouble randomly cleaning with Registry Cleaners.
The possible benefits are far less than the potential for disaster.

The Registry is an enormous database and all this "Cleaning" really doesn't amount to much...I've said this before, but I liken it to "sweeping out one parking space in a parking lot the size of Montana".

Sometimes, registry "tweaks" are necessary, or even suggested to fix various Software or hardware problems.
But a good working knowledge of what the registry is and how it works is important before one goes hitting the "select all/delete" button.

That said, I downloaded Windows cleaner 2005 to take a look.
All I can say is WOW......you better know darn well what it is you are getting rid considering the number of entries this app comes up with.

BTW....this is with all due respect to purelander See Profile, and the link is still appreciated.

Again, a registry "tweak" here and there is desirable or even necessary sometimes, but random "cleaning", especially for the novice, is inviting disaster.

I also would like someone to show me any hard evidence that registry cleaning actually improves performance. (Unless there is a specific problem that has to be addressed by making changes to the registry).

Sorry to go on like this, but I feel there is way to much Registry "Cleaning" going on these days just for the sake of "cleaning".

To those that have already heard this speech before, please forgive me. ;)
