If one reads Fred Langa's info from his web site you can see some of the myriad questions and fixes that are available,but you must also remeber a lot of those people there are fairly experienced in the operation etc of their PC.... to simply say one such program is better than another for registry work would be errounious information as each one has a tendency to work in a few areas.. for trult effective registry cleaning one must be fluent in the use of a good registry editor and have comple confidence in oneselfs understanding of all the programs on their PC... and belive me I have made some major goofups in my attempts many times requiring re-install of many a porgram ... best advie: use extereme caution when working in the registry as the wrong right click and it can mean a total format and reinstall.... ... my opinion and experince is all...Chuck.. in Ok www.freelists.org/webpage/triadtechtalk UNSUBSCRIBE by sending email to triadtechtalk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with unsubscribe in the Subject field.
