Speedup and registry cleaner scams
There are ads showing up in respectable places for these idiotic registry cleaner scams...
https://answers.yahoo.com/question/i...1192659AAu9TnD I'm not sure all of these types of programs are scams but I've never used one. |

There is little to be gained from this stuff. Just from a percentages point of view, a registry cleaner is not going to remove enough stuff to make any difference at all. If a registry entry is malformed, sometimes a removal routine causes damage outside the entry in question. This happened with a certain printer setting left by HP printer installer software. Such "sleeping defects" in the Registry are best left sleeping. No sense poking them with a stick (use registry cleaner) and completely breaking something. Paul |

Not that normal reviews are exactly normative when it comes to Microsoft's registry;- it's linked, potentially, into proprietary Level-1 OS kernels, hence known among a specialty, you're after, fraught with disclaimers - such as: 'Use at your own risk.' When did you last ask yourself why, indeed, wouldn't Microsoft provide such tools for modifying its operating system. . . Again, that needn't discredit honest reviewers -- even 'hackers' with ulterior motives other than Bill Gates' reoccurring dream of Informational World Domination -- from offering free, (sic) token registry hacks;- hence, in roundabout ways, regarding relative assessment, lending to the dubious distinction you affect if too ready with "blanketing" statements as scams, industrial copyrightists, in fact, readily might deploy among types of clandestine conditioning, entrepreneurialism, and its dominant forms of expression over economic/political sovereignty. In the world, of course, as we live it;- if you don't like it, the way it is, I hear Uranus may be more accommodating for relocation. |

And keep it that way, you'll screw-up something... There is little to be gained from this stuff. Just from a percentages point of view, a registry cleaner is not going to remove enough stuff to make any difference at all. The registry is a *very* fast database, held in RAM; removing even 1/2 of it blindly is unlikely to make it any faster...

Paul Nothing prevents, say Microsoft, from adding registry keys for future use, which are pointing to nonexistent files at the moment. Nothing prevents them from later assuming the keys exist. These registry cleaners are nothing but trouble (even the respected CCleaner). Best Regards, -- ! _\|/_ Sylvain / !
