Le,
I googled "windows registry" and came up with that url. I do know there is
one out there that is everything registry and I'll send it along when I find
it in my favorites but as far as the windows management console goes, you
can close that hole without any issues being caused. Any gateway into your
firewall of course is a possible port to danger but we can't close our
selves off completely or we have no way out. The windows management console
would be for you if you had licensed miicrosoft server technology.

Thanks Dave -- I have added this one to my favorites. I read some of it and
it is informative. There is also a good registry discussion on
www.vernalex.comm, along with a bunch of other topics -- just follow the
"Guides" link and you will get a pretty good set of tutorials on Windows and
troubleshooting.
But as for my own difficulties, I have another question:
I looked at the firewall settings on my machine, and there is a list of
"exceptions" of sites that can connect to my computer. These include things
like the instant messengers and some windows stuff such as remote login or
something to remotely access my computer.
The weierd thing is that before I installed the "registry mechanic"
software, there were 5 items in the exceptions list, but now there are 6. I
don't understand what the meaning of the entries is -- I turened off remote
desktop and remote login, but there is one called Microsoft manage console
that I have never seen before. Does anyone know what it does or why someone
would put it in the list?
It is kind of creepy. Did I inadvertently grant complete access to my
computer by anyone?
HELP!
It hasn't solved the problem. I think I'll get my money back on this
program.
I downloaded the trial version, but in case anyone else wants to download
it, I installed it and the only thing it did when I clicked on "scan" was to
report all the things that needed to be removed or repaired, but the repair
operations were only available if you ppurchased and registered the
product...
So I did but it was not effective in removing the stuff I wanted removed,
and it introduced some other things that I don't want, and also unregistered
some drivers that should be registered...
Yuck.
Any additional info is welcome!
Thanks in advance!
