Re: Best Registry Cleaner for vista

"Another implied I'm smarter than you..."
Whatever you CHOOSE to ASSUME is up to you.
However most know what ASSUME means and again you do it.
It seems your insecurity shows in another way since you CHOOSE to see
what is not there.

"Show me ANYBODY that pretends they know what every single entry..."
I never said any such thing.
But users need to know what a specific key does before letting the
cleaner remove it.
Your NEED to twist what is said to fuel your agenda is noted...again.
However I do know those familiar with the registry almost to that
point you suggest.
They and others manage the registry manually or use the tool to
identify then they decide what to delete.

"Just doing my part... to educate clueless MVPs."
Attacking again, such a typical post from you.
I thought you had matured beyond your stalking of a week ago.
Apparently I was mistaken since you NEED to stalk again as you have in
the past.
You obviously have no clue.
At least this time you contributed something to the thread where in
the past your entire contribution was NOTHING but attacks.

But a very typical post displaying your own insecurities as
demonstrated by your continuing need to attack to shore up your
position.

Notice that all the people saying never use a Registry Cleaner are
either the same crop of loud fanboys or clueless MVPs. Nothing beats
real word experiments as you've just detailed.

I think part of the hostility towards Registry Cleaners is once upon a
time they were garbage. Times change, things improve. Windows was once
garbage too. It's the same knock Real Player gets. It use to include
spyware and it got black listed, It hasn't for years, is still one of
the best players offering some of the best compression verses quality
you can get. Yet people hold a grudge or just are dumb and because of
it, take your pick, won't use it. ;-)

Speaking of insecurity, you're the one attaching MVP behind your name

You implied it. Read nearly any post from any MVP on any topic and you
see the underlying pattern they know more, everybody else is dumb,
blah, blah, blah. So unprofessional and self-serving. What is YOUR
Ageneda that you have to attach MVP to every post?

What agenda? I simply don't like boastful windbags that hide behind
MVP and pretend they know more than everybody else when time after
time they're proven wrong. Microsoft should have killed the MVP
program like they planned to do years ago BECAUSE of complaints like
mine because now it is little more than a joke with a bunch of
clueless wannabe types stinking of the groups they post to.

You are simply too thin skinned to be here, you can't contain your
anger, you're too proud to learn, too pigheaded to admit when you're
wrong. In other words, your typical MVP.

You sound just like Justin the faker that tried so hard to pass
himself off as something he wasn't...just like you constantly do
Frank.

How's that chain letter scam of yours doing? Anybody dumb enough to
send to cash yet?

Re: Best Registry Cleaner for vista

I recognize that my experiment (still 100% positive) with a
specific registry cleaner does not constitute a statistically
valid experiment, but it was MY EXPERIMENT.

This unit continues to be more responsive in many respects, with
no change in stability. Everything seems to work fine, and I've
clicked through many installed apps looking for problems. So
far, so great.

Maybe I was just lucky, but it's really a pleasure... It also
suggests that Vista speed issues justify an examination of the
Registry - and I don't know enough to go beyond that.

Re: Best Registry Cleaner for vista

"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.

Re: Best Registry Cleaner for vista

I agree with most that it is not necessary and requires caution. That said
Alias recommendation works fine and ALWAYS let it backup any entries you are
going to delete. Unless you do a huge amount of installing and uninstalling
of programs I would forget about it.

"can't get any benefit from Registry Cleaners"

Go back and read my posts again probably for the first time.
