Effectiveness of PC "optomizing" software?

[Saurabhdua]

Hello Carbon & other Folks!

Don use Registry Cleaners?...Carbon, it seems you are going too far from reality!

No. of Guys even don know on how to access Windows Registry & No. of "GOOD" Registry cleaners do offer that flexibility & expertise to the Novice & avert all hassles!

Its a "Periodic RITUAL" for me to clean my System atleast once a month in the order of::

>>Clear Junk Files using any one of the popular names.

>>Run a "Registry Cleaner" & wipe off those obsolete & redundant entries using likes of Auslogics FREE registry Cleaner OR WISE Registry cleaner OR AML one.....there are literally LOADS of these!

>>After cleaning JUNK, I go for "Registry Defragmentation" using QuickSys utility.

>>Finally, the "File Defragmentation" using MyDefrag.

It really keeps my System running at an OPTIMUM Levels.

Absolutely appalling remark at the end, Saurabhdua. Removed.

So, after all the trouble with the registry cleaners and defragmentors, how much faster does your computer get?

I just did.

It was an unnecessary and offensive comment.

And can you stop using all the possible kinds of post formatting available as well?

Freedom of expression? Where? If you don't like the rules here, start your own forum.

I know what's in the registry and where a lot of stuff would be and I know that there's no point deleting changing anything programmatically that a program shouldn't be changing. I've been over my reasons a few times already (file paths and the like). Even clearing out nonexistent COM components could have disastrous effects. what if normally the Server program is on a network drive? And you run it when it's disconnected. Oop! Can't find the file so it deletes the key. Now suddenly Super-Duper Server program doesn't work because it can't find the File library, BCFile (Heh, in my dreams) that it uses!

Abandon the search engine project immediately and start on a Registry optimizer...

Seriously,

Stop following me...

[kpac]

err.....It's not me, seriously.

Did you DLoad and test the BETA ? ?

 

[kpac]

Ahh, it's a beta. So, no - I didn't.

Anyway, joking aside, what are we talking about? Is this BCSearch or something? Heh..
