Registry Mainternance?
Thaks Pip. You'd think tho that while such 3rd party utilities are dangerous
MS could get it right themselves though, especially as Uninstall Shield doesn't seem to do harm (or does it? Dunno) Having said that, I'm a victim of "Easy Transfer's" ability to scramble my computer. I'm trying to forget that. :-| "pip22" wrote: The reason Microsoft don't provide a built-in Registry Checker is because they consider them unsafe and capable of doing more harm than good. After several years of using various Registry Checkers myself I'm now on the side of "leave well alone". This change of opinion has been brought about by having had a few registry-related errors and crashes which I've never had since I stopped use such utilities, and I've tried many of them, both free and commercial ones. I now prefer to check the Registry manually after uninstalling a program, just to delete the program key in the 'Software' sections - and that's all (unless I'm fixing a particular problem and the instructions involve editing or adding a Registry entry). . |
