Howdie,

RegCleaner keeps saying that this entry 3DA165B6-CC41-11d2-
BDC6-00C04F79EC6B is invalid, but nothing can get rid of
it. Help please?

What is the full path of this entry?

Hi Dave,

First, if you don't know your way around the registry, then you shouldn't
trust a registry cleaner to provide this sort of information.

Secondly, follow the path to the key either from Root
<HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID> or here:
HKLM\Software\Classes\CLSID\{3DA165B6-CC41-11d2-BDC6-00C04F79EC6B}\ProgID

Thirdly, you will find that this is related to the Time Categorizer -
Shell32 reference for C# and VB.NET

I do not know why it is saying that - but if in doubt with such tools,
leave the entry concerned alone. It exists on my system, and appears to
be used internally by explorer

Thank you!
