| 854416 | 2010-02-01 19:58:00 | From that article The registry is a set of half a dozen or so mission-critical files hidden away in the system folders. so only 6 or so critical files eh! - idiot. registry-editing cautions are issued because it actually is easy to break Windows by messing with the wrong thing. But hang on, if theres only 6 or so -- what could possibly go wrong, just leave the important ones alone :confused: |

(heroworkshop.files.wordpress.com) :D So by removing thousands of reg files that are not needed, a persons PC is still going to work 100%. OK sure some are not needed, but then a PC doesn't need a keyboard, Mouse or Monitor to run either -- Couldn't do much but it still runs. |

| 854424 | 2010-02-01 21:03:00 | I haven't read the article, But the registry is made up of a small number of database files, They may have many entries that can be viewed with the regedit interface but comparatively the total size of the files is tiny. And a PC that has a messy registry can certainly have many thousand of redundant entries removed safely. www.easydesksoftware.com |
