Get Eusing Free Registry Cleaner. Nearly all of them offer a free scan that
comes up with 8,649,345 problems, or something of the sort, but will only
fix 25 for free. Then they hit you for your credit card number. Download
Eusing, and you can send them some cash if you want. Otherwise, it's free,
and it's as good as what you'd buy.

Yer welcome.

Downloaded and ran Eusing FRC. Worked like a champ. Found 947 'issues'
and repaired them all. Ran it again, and it found none. However, it
seemed to have deleted some McAfee stuff. No problemo, however, an
update on the internet solved that problem.

Thanks again. That program is easy to use.

Did you notice any performance improvement ??

I was just about to comment on that. When I cranked it up this AM,
Windows seemed much faster than it had been, as did the loading of
Agent. Ditto with Mozilla. Hell, just removing 900+lines in the
registry must have saved a little time somewhere!

I would never use it. When I get clogged up I do a format and rebuild.
Over the years I have probably averaged twice a year.

As infinitely painful as it is.... this is the best advice.

I've never had to do a reformat just to unclog a computer. Maybe I've
just been lucky.

If you're a simple user like The Freak, I might agree. For those who
have lots of applications they use and would have to reinstall, it's a
bloody waste of time.

Registry Mechanic does a decent job. Vista and Win 7 both do a good
job of keeping the disc defragged.

Two of the aspects of Windozes I don't miss:

the registry
the need to defrag hard drives

There is no registry in the Apple OS, and it is pretty simple to remove
a program and all its pieces and parts. Also, the OS seems to keep the
drive(s) pretty much defragged on its own.

Backups and restores are much easier, too.

But I still like Windoze.

I'm sure that there are some things in that 900+ that don't do squat, but
doing a fix definitely helps mine. I also do a Internet Options Delete
Cookies and Delete Temporary files. Occasionally an adaware scan (also
free), but Comodo keeps most of the stuff out. About once a week, unless
it's running slow, then I immediately notice the difference.

I do the spy bot thing every couple weeks, and McAfee is doing it's
thing constantly.

I do thank you again for the Eusing tip.

I know I don't like Windoze Registry, and that is an integral aspect of
Windoze, but after singing the praise of Vista, I am too embarrassed to
say what i really think of Windoze. I have always hoped that people
will forget that I switched to a Mac after 6 months of pucking with Vista.
