| 492416 | 2006-10-19 19:57:00 | Hi FoxyMX Thanks for your reply. I will bite the bullet and delete all those offending items. Always hesitant to do such things as I dont wont any problems after hitting the delete button. Eddie and I have always respected your advice in the past and I am sure you wouldnt lead us astray this time ;) I know Eddie deleted his last night and he is alive this morning so thats a good sign.

| 492417 | 2006-10-20 00:56:00 | Why dont u just use ccleaner. CCleaner is another of these money grabbers. I downloaded and ran their trial version. It told me I had umteen hundreds of faults and if I sent them millions of dollars they would fix them all for me. I then ran registry mechanic and it found less than half of the faults that ccl. did. And they wanted a small fortune to fix them. I class registry cleaners with modem accellerators and "I'll make you a millionaire" letters from Nigeria. |

| 492418 | 2006-10-20 01:34:00 | Hi JJJJJ, Methinks you have downloaded CCleaner pro whereas the standard "personal use only" is free. I have used both of these programs for some years and as I told Speedy Gonzales they "clean out" different files- without a shadow of a doubt. Thanks to FoxyMX I, and Speedy 38 have cleaned out - in Smithie's case around 600 obsolete files , within the last 12 hours or so. :waughh: effie c |

| 492419 | 2006-10-20 06:47:00 | I dont think there is a Pro version of ccleaner. I maybe wrong, but I've never seen it. And I've never seen a trial of it either. I dont think you're talking about ccleaner Jack. Its either something new or a dud program you're using whatever it is. |

| 492420 | 2006-10-21 03:09:00 | Yet another update of RegSeeker has just been released. :eek: Download from here (fileforum.betanews.com). The Latest User Reviews comments make interesting reading. CCleaner has also just released its latest update. Available here (www.majorgeeks.com) . |

| 492422 | 2006-11-19 20:23:00 | Hi folks and in particular FoxyMX I ran another scan this morning of Reg Seeker, and as suggested by Foxy I only deleted the green entries. Just curious, there were nearly 200 red enteries - what is the reason for suggesting not to delete those as most are "Extension not used" or "Invalid entries" Smithie |

| 492423 | 2006-11-19 22:28:00 | Smithy A lot of registry entrys are recreated after they are deleted. usually after a reboot or restarting IExplorer. So just delete them. I have been using RegSeeker for several years and I have always deleted everything after each scan, so far no problems. Heres a tip. As long as your comp is going OK delete all reg backups before each scan so that the only backups are the latest ones.:) Ian |

| 492424 | 2006-11-19 23:18:00 | Hi Ian Thanks for your reply. Okay, in future I will delete everything after each scan. Also thanks for your tip about deleting backups before each scan. Smithie |
