It has nothing to do with MVP. I have held the same views for many years.
Perhaps you would take it better from me if I used my old IBM status?

No loss here. I use System Suite. You're the ones losing out because you

Your top post nukes the rest of the post. Please learn how to post on
Usenet. To what "manner" are you referring?

I'm new to newsgroup postings.. but Alias is right... some times
registry cleaners do speed up system performance. In certain
situations where programs were calling .dll files that are no longer
in the system, windows will attempt to search whatever directories are
set as "system directories" until it finds the .dll file. If it
cannot find the files its looking for it will time out and move on. I
personally use regvacz and it speeds up windows quite nicely, I
especially like to run it after a system has been infected by a virus
or spyware. It can make a huge difference especially if a system has
been in use for years without any maintenance. I've been using regvacz
for many years now without a single problem with any pc I've used it
on. Of course I back up the registry just in case because its easy
enough just to boot up in recovery mode and import the backed up
registry file. Believe who ever you want, but I can actually prove
that it does speed it up if you need the proof. I have made a log of
the entries regvacz has removed and the boot / program start times
from before and after regvacz was run.

Agreed. MVP is nothing but a title given to someone who has nothing
better to do in life except to work for nothing for Uncle Bill and his
Associates. Some of them also troll around here insulting people who
give real solutions based on practical experiences. There is no
evidence to suggest that MVP have any practical experience except to
spend whole day browsing the porn sites. a typical MVP is one who is an
octogenarian rejected by old peoples homes due to his/her attitude of
"knowing it all".

Not in my expoerience. Have you any independent laboratory reports
that you can cite to support this opinion.
In certain
situations where programs were calling .dll files that are no longer
in the system, windows will attempt to search whatever directories are
set as "system directories" until it finds the .dll file. If it
cannot find the files its looking for it will time out and move on.


True, but that has noithing whatsoever to do with the registry. That's
because the path astatement is wrong or the files have been placed in or
moved to the wrong locations.

I
personally use regvacz and it speeds up windows quite nicely, I
especially like to run it after a system has been infected by a virus
or spyware. It can make a huge difference especially if a system has
been in use for years without any maintenance. I've been using regvacz
for many years now without a single problem with any pc I've used it
on. Of course I back up the registry just in case because its easy
enough just to boot up in recovery mode and import the backed up
registry file. Believe who ever you want, but I can actually prove
that it does speed it up if you need the proof. I have made a log of
the entries regvacz has removed and the boot / program start times
from before and after regvacz was run.


One person's anecdotal stories aren't particularly convincing. I've
crossed the street without looking several times and haven't been hit by
a car; that means I can always cross the street without looking? Can
you produce verifiable scientific evidence to support your position? I
have to tell you that no one else has *ever* been able to do so,
starting with Win95.

Many of the persons conducting the tests in the following forum know their
stuff, but not *necessarily* more than a non-MVP.

Discussion of Registry "Cleaners"
http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099

I would not have to keep quoting said thread if a few naive individuals
would at least read it (requires comprehension too).

The testing methods are repeatable, which by itself adds credence to their
claims.

There are many MVP's in that forum who could quite frankly make others
appear embecilic with their arguments at best.

I'm not an MVP, I don't like reg cleaners either.

But if ONE scientific test could once and for all prove the overall
worthwhile of a Reg, cleaner--I would be the first to scream
"congratulations".

Keep quoting and quoting and quoting - so will I now you have provided that
valuable link. In any case, what makes you think those 'naive individuals'
would be able to read let alone comprehend that viewtopic.

I'm not an MVP, I don't like reg cleaners either.

Neither am I on both counts - but I will always add my own rather pathetic
twopennyworth, pointing out the dangers of RC's, to posters.
The pro-RC's really annoy me when they recommend these cleaners, out of
hand, without any consideration as top the expertise of the poster, or the
possible downside to using them.
In 2002 I had not heard of newsgroups/discussion groups and had owned a
computer for less than a year, when I used a well known RC(R.M.), on the
recommendation of a Computer Magazine - it knocked out the computer.
So never again.
But if ONE scientific test could once and for all prove the overall
worthwhile of a Reg, cleaner--I would be the first to scream
"congratulations".

I MIGHT wave a flag with you :)
