Cher I guess there's always a risk when you run even a registry cleaner. I'd still rather do that than manually editing the registry. My hunch is that it may not work well under win 98 though. To keep things on topic, did you have to use the Jaws cursor a lot? Were you able to tab through to the different buttons? In truth I'm quite happy with Reg scrub xp, Debbie Scales wrote some basic scripts for it, works quite well but I was only considering giving Registry Mechanic a try. With Reg scrub you can tab to different buttons when you first open the program, I like that.

Seemed accessible but my sick 98 got even worse after I ran it and the 'restore' or whatever option, did not improve things. PC Magazine was hot on it and that was how I found out about it, but was left with questions. However, I'm totally a non-techy, so may have messed it up or itmay be that my system was not salvageable at that point.

It appears that my registry is clean now. But has anyone had any success with the program called Registry Mechanic?From what I've read it's one of the top five registry cleaners around and I'm sure it will find things that the reg scrub program tends to miss. I kind of remember this being talked about earlier this summer but at the time I didn't pay close attention. Is it usable with the Jaws cursor in terms of monitoring a scan and accessing the various options? To me it doesn't matter if there are scripts, but that too would be great. Any info at all is welcome in terms of how it works with jfw.
