Think of the registry as a file cabinet with folders for the electric
company, and other important areas.
You decide to go green and build a mini-wind turbine and you ask Joe-
Bob to shred the contents of the electric company folder.
He gets most of it, but leaves a few bills in the folder.
You probably get the picture.
Have a good one,
Andy
A more apt analogy would be to think of the registry as an electrical
panel and to think of the registry cleaner as a dim-witted electrician
who turns off the the breaker to the plugs in the guest bedroom because
nothing is plugged in any of the plugs and nothing has been plugged in
for the last year or more. The second time the dim-witted electrician
comes by he sees the breaker that is turned off and decides that it is
not needed so he yanks it out and throws it in the garbage can...
Registry cleaners are next to utterly useless and tend to cause more
harm than good. Anyone who wants to keep their Windows installation in
good working order would do well to refrain from running useless
programs on their machines.
