does ccleaner registry cleaner work for all users

It explains why so many of the same posters seem to think (or in fact suggest) annual re-installs of Windows 'just to keep it running well' which is entirely un-needed on a Windows system that is properly maintained. Wow, the number of people spreading FUD on here about cleaning and maintaining the Registry is ridiculous. I used to when I ran Norton, twenty years ago, and now I don't because I can tell you it's pretty much nothing and no benefit. But it doesn't matter to the car at all, doesn't affect performance in the least. Cleaning it out might make you feel better. It's the equivalent of having some clutter under the passenger seat in the car. Dead, unused, invalid keys aren't used and don't matter and don't hurt anything. My opinion is it's just busy work programs like Norton do to make you feel like they're doing a lot, when a lot of what they do is inconsequential.Īll the registry is are some key:value pairs and programs only use the ones they care about. I'm manually editing things all the time. I do a lot of work with the registry, a lot of the applications that the development team I'm on write rely on registry entries. Does anyone know of a free safe scanner that'll find their locations for me?

I can fix them myself in regedit, but I don't know what's unused/invalid in there.

Unfortunately, Norton in addition to crypo mining off of my computer, want me to pay extra on top of my subscription to fix these issues (greedy b**tards). Escrito originalmente por apathy:My Norton says I've got about some 86 registry issues ranging from invalid uninstallers to dead COM references.
