Registry Fix v7.1

[n4gix]

Does anyone else use Registry Fix v7.1? I used it for several years (well, progressively earlier versions at least), and have always found it sped up my machine quite a bit if I haven't remembered to scan for a few months...

It's simply amazing the amount of sheer crap that get's left behind! Today's scan found 2698 problems...

...most of which were orphaned shortcuts, invalid file associations, MRU Locations, obsolete ActiveX/Classes, etc. :isadizzy:

I have been using Registry Mechanic for a few years now. Seems to do the trick for me.

I'd never tried it before, so on your recommendation I downloaded it and gave it a try...

While it did find and clean quite a bit of stuff that Registry Fix v7.1 had not flagged in the Registry, it completely wiped out ALL of my cookies, including the ones used for "autologins" at various forums, despite being told specifically NOT to do so...

As a result it has taken me several hours to remember and recreate all my logins again... :isadizzy:

What browser do you use? It will wipe the cookies and forms information if the relevant options are not deselected..

I've been using ErrorKiller for the past 4 years and it doesn't wipe out any 'Cookies'. I cost me 57.00 for a one time payment for 2 computers. Works like a charm. www.errorkiller.com

Note: If you go to the ErrorKiller site you might get a flagged warning the site is unsafe... that is not true. Just continue on to the site and download page, it is safe. I just checked and no warning popped up, but it has happened before.

Downloaded and installed CCleaner. Easy installation, good interface, easy to understand.

Seems to do the trick for me. Thanks!

I use IE, and I did deselect the "Cookies," but it seems to have tossed 'em anyway! :mix-smi:

Sorry to hear that,Bill. I've not had that problem on any of my systems using IE or Chrome.
