Do we let this blatant advertisement stands?

Crabby:

As long as there is a Registry Cleaner thread started, I would like to know the impact of using these utilities. I purchased RegistryFix for my XP versions and did an Update to their release which supports Vista. I ran the program with a whopping 303 problems found, but I am reluctant to let it fix them.

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Definitely not. You could clean the link and any part of the original post you want. Go for it.

I also am very reluctant. I have as many registry "errors" as you do. But, I won't even defrag unless my performance slows down noticeably by use or via the PassMark performance test. As implied, I almost never use a registry cleaner any more. Note that the original Vista-ready version of Perfect Disk, which is very highly regarded, was capable of deleting data as I recall.

Well - I decided to give it a whirl. First issue I ran into is that for each of the 303 registry corrections I encountered the UAC prompt. Needless to say I didn't continue. Aborting the cleanup was somewhat difficult since selecting cancel immediately resulted in another UAC prompt. I was able to abort by placing the UAC prompt cancel button over the abort button of my application and double clicking my mouse. What a pain!! After some addition research in the Forums I discovered a suggestion to select the xxx.exe file --> right click --> select properties --> select the compatibility tab --> and check "Run this program as an administrator" <-- Apply. After performing this, I was prompted by the UAC when I started the program, but not as it was running - AGAIN

I let the registry cleaner clean all 303 items (99% of which were entries to files which were no longer where the registry thought they were).

My Vista didn't crash, but I did notice a longer startup time when I brought up Internet Explorer Browser the first time after I cleaned the registry. However after closing it and bringing it back up it was much quicker than before I cleaned the registry.

If I encounter any problems as a result of the cleaning, I'll post them here.

I am betting that you don't notice anything. But, if you have problems, then there is an easy fix--do a repair install. However, once you do so you will have many new registry "errors." I can make this claim because I used to always follow a reigstry-fix session with an install repair to make sure nothing essential got "fixed." I wouldn't do so now unless something obviously was broken by the "fix."

Uptime is now 8hrs 49min since I ran my registry fix and rebooted - and yes there are no failures. The only thing I did notice was that Internet Explorer and Windows Mail took NOTICEABLY longer to come up the first time. However after that they came up quickly. I hesitate to mention this, but what the heck - In one of my other threads I was concerned with memory useage being high. Well after the reboot my quiescent memory has dropped to 750Mbytes. And I have added three additional Gadgets to my Sidebar.

I was wondering if any of those 303 items had anything to do with the entrie like C:\Packages\does not exsist or C:\$Windows; does not exsist I have at least 100 of these and some ones for MicrosoftMoney which I have not fixed yet only been fixing the ones that I know are defently not in the system i am using RegSupreme by Macecraft. I just did a low level scan with 253 items and I have deleted some as time goes by. Oh ya I have some by the name of C; Software distrubution D also

Every one was complaining about a missing file or invalid link. None were related to packages.
