Quicksys Registry Cleaner: Not Recommended To Defragment Registry Across Drives
Feb 27, 2009WARNING: only for advanced users who like to clean the registry. Quicksys regcleaner normally $25 free - only 4hrs left from here: http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/
Win 7 compatible - have used this and deleted all 1200 entries it found. It makes a backup - been running for several hours and reboots with no probs. Also working fine so far on my Vista x64 and Win 7 x86 installs. After cleaning you need to shut the app. and reopen it for it to find it's backups. (Easy to find them by hand - it can compress them to.7z files, too ). Have used their regdefrag a lot - identical scans and results to the Auslogics and Glary versions- so use whichever defragger you already have. WARNING: not recommended to defrag registry across drives.

Nov 13, 2009I am using this program to clean up my registry and it seems to work fine except the errors keep coming back. I can do a scan, clean up all the errors and then shut down and start up and I have a new 20 registry error list and most or all of the errors relate to "bad path for the value" and its windows files that seem to be at fault. I don't understand why Microsoft operating system would create registry errors on a startup, before anything has been installed etc. is RegistryBooster misleading me or what. I am running win7 but it did the same thing on vista home premium so I think the question is valid for this group.

Jan 23, 2010I have a serious problem with my Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit OS (SP2 installed). It all started when my CD/DVD-Drive was not recognised anymore in Windows Explorer, Windows Device-Manager and even BIOS. This problem was caused by Audiograbber Software Installation & Use.
It is a known bug in Vista. Microsoft has set up an automatic "Fix-this" utility. Or can choose to manually fix the problem. This includes deleting some Registry Entries (UpperFilter and LowerFilter), which are responsible for Disc-Drive control in Vista. As the automatic fix did not work for me I decided to manually delete Upperfilter and Lowerfilter Registry Entries (without making a backup prior). I screwed it all up! The consequence: Vista-Startup got stuck in bluescreen/restart loop..............

View 9 Replies View RelatedReReading Windows Registry Setting
Sep 1, 2009I am trying to write a script to add a few items like: "Connect to" to the Start Menu. This seems pretty easy by changing values in the registry and setting [HKEY_CURRENT_USER SoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionExplorerAdvanced]"Start_ShowNetConn"=dword:00000001 works to turn "Connect To" on after the next reboot. Is there a command to force Windows to re-look at the registry after setting this value, so that the change becomes effective without having to reboot the computer.
View 5 Replies View RelatedEasily Find Registry Locations In Windows
May 27, 2008Just wanted to pass along a nice little tweaked program for making the registry a lot easier to use. Even with Windows Vista, the basic registry editor has not changed - and one *sorely* missing feature is an 'address bar' of sorts, allowing you easy navigation through the registry. Ever read a tutorial, like Copy as Path - Add or Remove from Context Menu and wished you could easily open that registry key without having to navigate through the tree on the left and find each individual hive / key?
Well, with RegEditX - Tweaks for the Windows Registry Editor (REGEDIT) you can - quickly, easily, and painlessly. See, RegEditX has that missing address bar - so, if you want to go to the key mentioned in the tutorial I linked above, HKEY_CLASSES_ROOTAllFilesystemObjectsshellxContextMenuHandlersCopyAsPathMenu, you simply copy the entire thing, paste it in the address bar in RegEditX, and presto! If you have need to use the registry a lot, or are like me, like to add system tweaks by hand, then this is a must have program for you. *WARNING* - Editing the registry can result in your computer being rendered unusable. You assume all risks if you decide to edit anything in the registry. I assume no liability in providing you with this link. As always, be sure to make backups prior to changing anything.

Disable/re-enable Or Hide/unhide Start Menu In Windows Via Registry, Using VB6
Oct 3, 2008Is it possible to disable/re-enable or hide/unhide Start Menu in Windows Vista via registry, using VB6 or at least disable/re-enable all items in (shortcuts and everyrthing else in Start Menu) in order to exclude starting of ANY program via contents of Start menu in Vista while my own application is active?

How To Repair Registry
May 25, 2008I installed a new registry cleaner, RegCure I think, ran it, cleaned like 12k errors, more than I thought I should have, turned off my computer and went to bed. I come back and its acting like windows 2000!
None of the services are working, I can't access the backups I made, and I can't use the system restore because the host program wont respond, or something I ran safe mode and got SOME of the drivers working again, as I thought I would, so it sort of seems my computer has amnesia Does anyone know how I can get more services to work without
reformatting my computer?
Registry Cleaner
Aug 6, 2009I've read in some posts that a registry cleaner isn't recommended for Vista,primarily because some can install malware instead of getting rid of it.
But I've got some issues with Vista and I swear it's from leftover software installations - such as SQL 2008 beta. I don't want to reinstall Vista because it's a pain in the butt. Are there any registry cleaners that are recommended as safe?

View 9 Replies View RelatedTweaking The Registry When Is Down
Sep 1, 2009A friend of mine has his Vista PC automatically installing an update, then reboots with no prompt before login any user. And that's looped forever. What's strange is it does the same in safe mode.
At present no session can be opened, nor even reached. Nothing seems to be possible.
I'm thinking I could alter/delete the RunOnce entry in the registry but I would either need
- an XP tool that can read a Vista registry from a file on a separate HD (yes, I would take the HD to my PC)
- or a Linux live CD tool (but I'm asking this question on a Linux forum) that could do the same
- or of course any other brilliant idea.

Dec 29, 2008My media player 11 kept freezing when i'd try to rip more than 1 cd all of a sudden. I'd reboot then it would be fine again for only 1 cd. So i started reading forums on how to uninstall and reinstall media player. One said i had to delete the entire key from the registry then when i rebooted it would ask me to reinstall. It didn't happen. Now WMP opens and will play music but when i try to rip a cd it says it cannot do it and offers no reason. I'm running 32bit vista ultimate. I've tried the cumulative update for WMP but it says i have a newer version of it installed so it can't continue. Also i wasn't provided with a copy of vista with the computer so i cant reinstall that either can i?
