thank you Steve, yes that is good advice, I had to do a system restore more than once, also I understand the fact I am being told certain key strokes are of no use, I have not gone ahead and let them be removed,as you say, what harm are they doing anyway.

I tend not to change the registry unless I have no option or if I have been directed to making a specific change for a specific reason. Then I edit it manually, back it up first, export the branches I intend to adjust, and only touch entries I am confident about. And I can do all these things in RegEdit. You mention a friend used it and the result was not to your liking - if anyone adjusts your registry using any method, please make sure they back the whole lot up first, so that you can return to the "before" state if you want to. I know this isn't directly answering your question, the answer to which is "no, I don't know RegScrub". But on a general note, be wary of deleting registry keys which you are told are "not of any use" because if that advice is wrong, it's you who's going to pay! And even if it is correct, that doesn't mean they are doing any harm.

However surely REGSCRUB is not identical, I know a few who run it often, is it OK? I must say the number of faults it says it has found makes me a bit wary, it tells me a lot of keys are not of any use.do you know this product at all? thanks Dorothy ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** jaws-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq -- DISCLAIMER: NOTICE: The information contained in this email and any attachments is confidential and may be privileged.
