| | Re: Register Cleaner. I am using both CCleaner and Wise Registry Cleaner (both are free) : http://www.ccleaner.com/ http://www.wisecleaner.com/ The trick to successfully using a registry cleaner is to NOT remove a registry entry unless you are sure what it is or does. A little Google Research on suspected entries will go a long way.

CCleaner is very good and Vista compatible but i have an impression that the register is not cleaned on items earlier installed / removed. Wisecleaner is doing a lot more , but i have an impression that it is a 16-bit SW which caused some problems (maybe my fault as i didn't run it in compatibility XP mode), nevertheless i prefer a 32-bit version. regards Huib |

| | Re: Register Cleaner. I also use Auslogic Defrag and Registry Compressor, both free. http://www.auslogics.com/ I just ran the Registry compressor and the registry was compressed from 55,600K to 49,000K which saved 6.6 Meg of registry space and the program claimed the registry was at least 16% faster. Since the registry is essentially a flat file database with data in binary format the smaller it is, generally, the faster it should be able to function. To run the Compressor close all programs and you may need to stop some with Task Manager. The compressor does create a Restore Point before compressing.

"Registry," not "register." > Which one is causing no problems within Vista? They *all* have the serious potential to cause problems. I strongly suggest you avoid using any registry cleaning program. Cleaning of the registry isn't needed and is dangerous. Leave the registry alone and don't use any registry cleaner. Despite what many people think, and what vendors of registry cleaning software try to convince you of, having unused registry entries doesn't really hurt you. The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner erroneously removing an entry you need is far greater than any potential benefit it may have. -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP Windows - Shell/User Please Reply to the Newsgroup |

Thanks for the correction to registry but in our dutch language we say just register... The reason of my question was that HP-support is asking me to clean-up the registry for the problem of my scanner HPscanjet 4570c, but by now i will no further execute it. Regards Huib |

Glad to hear it. > Thanks for the correction to registry but in our dutch language we say just > register... OK, every language is different. I don't like to correct people's use of words, but when it's the subject we're talking about, I wanted to make sure you had the right name for it. > The reason of my question was that HP-support is asking me to clean-up the > registry for the problem of my scanner HPscanjet 4570c, but by now i will no > further execute it. Do they say specifically what to clean up in the registry? Can't you make the changes they want by a direct registry edit with Regedit? -- Ken Blake, Microsoft MVP Windows - Shell/User Please Reply to the Newsgroup |
