registry cleaners

Earlier in this thread you had eluded to a Microsoft URL indicatining about a Registry
cleaner. You were asked to provide it but did not indicating that one can do there own
search and find.

David, I know for a fact that MS provided a registry clean-up tool from
their downloads section.

It's been years since I looked for it or even considered using it, but
I'm 110% positive that MS did provide a registry cleaner tool on their
official website.

MajorGeeks shows some proof of this:

Editors Note: The RegClean utility is no longer supported and has been
removed from all Microsoft download sites.

I am asking you to provide it... plaese.

Ain't gonna happen, as he's all hot air on this.

Right, Win9x/ME and never approved for WinNT and above.

They (Microsoft) pulled it for GOOD reason !

I never suggested it was good or bad, only that it was available from
Microsoft.

I believe that a tool that removes dead links in the registry is a good
thing, but I believe that there are too many "cleaners" that do more
than just that.

If you have read these newsgroups for years, you must be awfully dense. You
haven't learned a thing.
What praytell have you ever programmed? If you had any programming
experience you would KNOW the dangers of
registry cleaners.
Each and every one of your posts is full of assumptions about me. You just
don't know and continue to assume
as you do with registry cleaners..

I did a quick look-see and don't see it, but here are a couple
possibilities I pulled out of my history. Maybe they are what you're
looking for? These seem to cover what I recall anyway from when I heard
of the release and went to see if I was interested in it:
---------------------------------
http://onecare.live.com/site/en-US/article/registry_cleaner_why.htm

http://help.live.com/help.aspx?mkt=en-us&project=WL_Safety&format=b1&querytype=keyword&query=abtvst

and a forum entry:
Registry cleaner - Windows Live OneCare
Does One Care have any tools to clean up Registry Fles?
forums.microsoft.com/WindowsOneCare/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=3728548&SiteID=2
------------------------------------

I suspect one of those had a link to a free online scan, too IIRC. I
don't recall bringing it up, so I may not be the origin of the comments
you refer to; not sure.

Those should help get you started anyway. AFAIK that's the only
admitted MS "registry cleaner" for sure, but when you read a lot of
their linguistic escapades, a lot of their applications apparently also
do registry work, but ... they don't call it that. A couple of other
links show a technical analysis of what it does specficically and how it
does it, but those are some of the kinds I won't post here until I get a
response I want to some previously asked questions of our favorite
misinformationist.

I haven't downloaded it or even tried their free online scan because
last I knew it still had a couple of bugs to be worked out (what's
new?). It was only in BETA then, and I haven't gone back to see what
the very latest information is so perhaps it's in good shape by now; I
don't know. Oh; and I don't think the bugs were damaging; just glitches
of some sort.

If you're inclined to try it out, I'd be interested in your opinion of
it.

Regards,

Twayne

It is most embarrassing :(

Nah, don't let it embarass you<g>. It was obvious what you meant which
is what matters. I'd rather read that sort of typo than many of the
other constants people come up with. If the linguistics/syntax of a
post bothers one, they should just move on. Not that I always follow my
own advice, but ... I do know better<g>.

Actually, it's back in the form of the Live and/or OneCare thingy too.
No recommendation; just saw the notice of the release & checked it out.
It was in BETA quite awhile, too.

Precisely your problem-----you always assume.

Poor unknown; just can't seem to get known no matter how much it
imitates a fish on the dock. Have you EVER contributed anything useful
to a thread?

Yes, very often. However, I notice the only thing you contribute is bad
advice to posters
such as running registry cleaners.

Wow, your ego is surpassed only by your ignorance. I have a little
time, so here at some answers for you to deny in your typical ignorant
way:

If you have read these newsgroups for years, you must be awfully
dense. You haven't learned a thing.

To the contrary, I have learned, and verified, many, many things over
the years. I also read several professional newsgroups; which ones to
you read?
What praytell have you ever programmed?

In the CP/M days, Basic and Fortran
Later:
dBase I, dBase II, dBase III, and dBase IV, MS Access, Visual Basic,
PHP4, PHP5, a smattering of machine language for embedded systems, DOS
batches, XP Batches, both using XXCopy in the process, FoxPro, VBA in MS
and Open Source, a bunch of Inno applications, and lately looking into
Python.
Now a question for you: How does ANY of that mean that I'd gain
knowledge of the registry? Creating and modifying a few registry
entries with software has very little to do with whether registry
cleaners are any good.
What's the connection? None of the serious programming language
require much of a knowledge of the registry. In fact, most of them
don't even touch the registry by coding. The compilers might, but not
the code. And, it's VERY easy to see/check the registry entries any of
them DO make simply based on the names you know the language and the
compilers etc. are going to place there.
Again: How should that mean I'd know the "dangers of registry
cleaners"?


If you had any programming
experience you would KNOW the dangers of
registry cleaners.

Wrong. See the preceding para. Your ignorance is showing, now, for
sure. Tell me how "any programming experience" would let me "KNOW the
dangers of registry cleaners"?
Either back up your bluff or continue to show your ignorance. Which
will it be?
Each and every one of your posts is full of assumptions about me.

I don't have to assume anything about you. You demonstrate it quite
clearly, IMO. Since it's my opinion you cannot give good answers to the
above questions, I'll be getting pretty sure of your ignorance, in fact.
What you've found here is somone who doesn't make statements they can't
back up; ever. And if/when I make a mistake I'll admit it. In fact, I
think I had to do that yesterday or the day before. You see, I'm not
afraid to be wrong; if/when I'm wrong I appreciate being given
correction when it's done by a knowledgeable source.
About the only good think I can say about you is that your tantrums
are entertaining, your apparent ignorance astounding, and your ability
to promulgate it even more astounding when one thinks about it. Well, I
can say one more thing: In general you troll less here than I've seen
you do on other groups where you appear to actually live under a small,
rock bridge near a murky stream.


You
just don't know and continue to assume
as you do with registry cleaners..

See, you're wrong there again. I not only "know", but I also use
registry cleaners to good advantage. All it takes is probably something
you're not used to doing: First, getting a branded, reliable
application, and then actually reading what it presents to you on the
screen. All that said, it's becoming more and more appaent by the day
that you're actually doing nothing but trolling and providing some
comedic content during my spare time. If I didn't have the time I would
simply relegate you to the bottom-feeding bass turd eating troll I think
you are and completely ignore you. Yours must be a pretty sad
existence.

What happens when a registry cleaner erroneously deletes an item? Think
man, think.
If you had any programming

Wrong. See the preceding para. Your ignorance is showing, now, for sure.
Tell me how "any programming experience" would let me "KNOW the dangers of
registry cleaners"?
Ever program anything with a faulty table or missing constant?
What happened?
Either back up your bluff or continue to show your ignorance. Which will

No bluff----you just assume and fail to think.

You will not accept corrections. Every one of your posts are
excuses or quibbling.

Great----glad you read them.

Yeah but you don't ever think.

You've said enough!

you do on other groups where you appear to actually live under a small,

There is NO good advantage to registry cleaners. But your erroneous
assumptions
won't let you admit that.

All it takes is probably something
you're not used to doing: First, getting a branded, reliable application,
and then actually reading what it presents to you on the screen.
I did that!

All that said, it's becoming more and more appaent by the day

content during my spare time. If I didn't have the time I would simply
relegate you to the bottom-feeding bass turd eating troll I think you are
and completely ignore you. Yours must be a pretty sad existence.
Why do you make the time? Do you enjoy giving bad advice to
posters?

Check it out - Twayne, of all people, is talking about ego...Now that's the
pot calling the kettle black!

If you want to see what Twayne is all about (just in this thread alone) all
you or he needs to do is read what he's already written below....His own
workds testify against him.

Of course Twanye won't do that - he might see the truth and that's not
something he wants to know....

| I'm sorry, David; I don't keep close track of these things. Which

| are you interested in?

I am asking you to provide it... plaese.

Actually, Twayne wasn't talking about a registry cleaner at that
particular point in the thread. Here is the context:
Are you too lazy to provide links to support your claim? Don't expect
us to go on a wild goose chase on the internet looking for figments of
your imagination! Rebooting a computer 3 times (or 54,000 times) does
not clean the registry, you are the one who made the claim so it is up
to you to provide supporting information, it is not up to us to
validate
your claims, put up or shut up.

I would like to see a cite for this, too. I had never before heeard that
rebooting a PC three times is a "form of 'registry cleaning.'"
