Copied!? Darest you say "Copied?" Oh, the pain.
And all that from Heather who thinks a barroom is a place to get drinks.

Believe it or not, but a few years ago the Yellow Pages of our phone
directory listed at the top of the page "PUBIC SCHOOLS" for "PUBLIC
SCHOOLS." I wrote the publisher some comment about Anita Hill but I never
got a reply. The page did not show the error a year later.

Much obliged, Heirloom.
I downloaded all four of them, just in case and to be safe.
Had no idea such nice program(s) existed, but then, I don't surf nearly
enough.
Thanks again.

Harry, too old to worry about it.

Heirloom, what did you have for supper?
If I had some of that, maybe I could understand your text a little

Your jv16 Power Tools look fairly good firsthand, but you'ld have to pay

for
the program' don't you?
How come you've waited so long to tell us?

Harry, ...never mind.

Hello Eli:

I happen to have the Registry Mechanic installed on my machine.
Where safety is concerned, it is entirely in your hands, since you

control
what you want the program to do.
To uninstall, you use Add/Remove Programs.
I don't think you have full use of the program until you purchase

it.
Once you bought it, you wouldn't want to uninstall it, but merely

refrain
from using it more than you'ld need to.
And you can easily recover deleted items from backup.
One has to be careful in removing many of the 'discovered' items,

because
they may be tied in with other programs or functions, but they can

be
restored with the backup utility.
To give you my personal assessment:
I don't use this program, unless I absolutely have to, because there

is
a
problem with the registry.
It provides a certain, limited feeling of security for me, besides

the
ability to somewhat control the registry..
The rest is up to you.

Harry

I use it, restore and uninstall no problem. I've found is when it wants to
"change" an
association between the location of a file and a registry entry it is often
in error so I check each one manually before hitting repair.

Hi:

I use Windows Me and know very little about the registry. I generally don't
edit the registry at all.

I downloaded a program called Registry Mechanic 3.0 which supposedly scans
and fixes invalid and/or orphaned registry items and claims to make a backup
of everything it alters.

http://www.pctools.com/registry-mechanic/

Since it was a free trial download, I cant seem to get further info from
that site other than what's on that page above.

1) How safe is this utility to run on ME and simply "let it do its thing"?

2) How easy is it to uninstall after I get the system somewhat optimized ?

3) How easy is it to recover altered items from that backup?

Thanks in advance:

-Eli
