Windows 98 Registry
Hi,
Can someone help me understand these items in the registry. I am concerned about the second line in each catagory, on the right side of the Registry. I have never seen this in any Windows registry. They are as follows: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT On the right side (Default) " TMID_(my comp. name ) with a string of numbers and letters HKEY_CURRENT_USER On the right side (Default) (value not set) HTTP11Saved 0x00000001(1) Http11Saved_VAL 0x00000000(0) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE On the right side(Default) (value not set) Full logging "NO" HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG On the right side(Default) (values not set) Profile Flags 00 00 00 00 Thank You Very Much For Any Assistance -- Message posted via WindowsKB.com http://www.windowskb.com/Uwe/Forums....setup/200610/1 |

Windows 98 Registry
The entries seem to be associated with MSDTC Transaction Internet Protocol.
See, for instance: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sec.../MS06-018.mspx http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2371.txt They would only exist in machines that had activated this protocol, for instance if a transaction server that required the protocol had been installed.. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) "Mikki via WindowsKB.com" u28306@uwe wrote in message news:68583db58c694@uwe...

Windows 98 Registry
Hi Jeff,
I took a look at the links there and they seem like something I would see on this computer. There are a lot of advanced programs or I should say office and business programs on this machine. Do you think it would be safe to delete these items, that are written up under the "deault" and under the line "default not set " ( In The Registry ) ? I did a back-up on the registry but still feared removing these, as I've come this far, fixing up this computer, and it's still running ;-) .....lol What I'm attempting to do, is fix and clean up an old Windows 98 computer, that only has a 8 GB hard drive. My friend just wants to be able to get on the internet, which basically, I told her, thats about all, she's going to be able to do. So far, I've removed , and disabled a dial-up modem. Installed a ethernet PCI card for her DSL service. I've had to clean up and edit items in the Config.fig, Autoexec.bat ,using Sysedit. I've learned through these newsgroups, that these are not needed to actually run Windows 98. She did have a lot of start up items and errors about the Himen.Sys. I've had to download drivers for her modem (which I now, have disabled in Device manager) and physically removed the dial-up connections. I had to download a sound driver, as there was no sound and the Device Manager " Was Not Pretty ". I have tried removing all elements of AOL in the registry. ( What A Nightmare ! ) I'm trying to delete very old programs on this computer, that are dated back to 2003, and 2005 for example. I'm suppose to have this done today and return it to her, so my time is very limited. My first question is, Would it hurt the computer, if I removed those items in the registry or should I just leave them alone ? My second question is, Is it safe to remove old programs ( found in "C" ) ? Then remove them from the registry ? These are advanced business programs, from a previous owner, that was a Insurance Business. I'm not touching any of Microsoft office items, but I fear deleting these "OTHER" programs, because I'm nervous that they might have a file in them, needed by "Windows" to run properly. I first did it through the Add and Remove list, then learned "here" about items that couldn't be removed through this process and did some through editing Msconfig, Sysedit, the Registry, and the Start Up Folders. Not in that order, but you get the idea. Right now, I have too many folders, sitting in the recycle bin, that I either have to delete for good, then do a disk clean, defrag or leave them in there and tell my friend, to delete them in a week or so, providing everything is safe and sound. I'd rather do it this morning, but I don't want to give her back her computer and "her" having different errors about missing files. Reality, what this computer needed, was a reinstall of the whole system, but I didn't have the original CD's or the knowledge to do this. I don't have too much knowledge about the older systems and DOS. I'm still learning and I study these newsgroups faithfully, on a regular basis, whether I have a problem or not. This is a great resource to learn and help with a problem, as I've had many, in the past, with my Windows XP.

Windows 98 Registry
I see little point in removing stuff from the registry just on the
possibility that it's no longer used or not relevant. However, I would guess that in this case the worst that would happen is that the application would need to re-establish these values, which might involve re-installing whatever installation requires them, or might simply be a matter of selecting a configuration option and re-setting some values. The proper procedure for removing old programs is to use the add/remove programs option. This _should_ remove registry entries, and any that do remain are harmless and I typically leave them there. Similarly for files in the application folder, except that I usually remove anything that's left over. If you don't have the remove option, an alternative is to re-install and then remove, but that doesn't seem practical in this case. The last option is to manually remove then clean up shortcuts, menus and the registry. This is reasonably safe, but slow, as you need to consider each step carefully and do lots of testing. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) "Mikki via WindowsKB.com" u28306@uwe wrote in message news:686fb4586cfe8@uwe...
