You know, not one of you anti-Registry Clearer guys have offered a
shred of evidence to support your claims. Nothing but the usual hot
air and the thinly veiled take my advice I know more than you BS
that's always present.
Give me some FACTS. Cite chapter and verse, not just bloated opinion.
Any application used improperly can pose a danger. Like Vista itself.
Funny the fanboys never ever are critical of the biggest enemy to PCs
everywhere: Windows. The point here being there would be little need
for Registry Cleaners IF Windows actually knew how to totally delete
applications you no longer wanted. The truth is it often doesn't clean
up totally and Windows is in part to blame. You would think with all
the mindless nag screens Vista has, it would be smart enough to pop up
a warning box saying such and such entry in Registry points to
nowhere. Wishful thinking.
