I agree whole-heartedly.įor a specific problem (bad install/uninstall) clean the registry by hand to clear the problem, or just restore your last drive image.Īs for CCleaner, I have it installed, but I don’t use it to clean anything. I read in a blog some time ago that cleaning the registry is like sweeping out a single parking space in a parking lot the size of Montana. It isn’t going to make the slightest bit of difference if there are a half-million obsolete keys present.” “Windows uses a binary search when looking up keys, which means that even to look up a key in 4.2 billion keys it needs to look at maximally 32 keys. My personal advice is don’t use any registry cleaner at any time for any reason. In that case, my original questions still need to be answered (“Can I trust either (or both) to be accurate, and should I let either one clean my registry? Also, how come Auslogics finds so many junk files that Disk Cleanup apparently missed, and should I allow Auslogics to “clean up” these files?”). I do have a Registry backup (made with ERUNT, and saved on a flash drive as well as my hard drive), and I also have a full disk image (made with Acronis onto a separate external hard drive), but since I’ve never had to do a full install with it, I’d really prefer not to use that.īottom line, I think I might have to do a Registry cleaning/repair (depending on how you guys interpret the error NTREGOPT message, if you can). I’ve been using this program for years on my old computer with never an error, so I’m thinking maybe I need to do something about it (although, as I said, I’m not seeing any problems with my computer). However, since I first posted, I’ve run NTREGOPT (part of the ERUNT package), and got an error message for the first time ever (see attachment). I might also dump it.į.U.N., I tend to agree with you about overly manipulating the registry. As I noted, I haven’t used it yet to actually defrag my disk, so I can’t comment about the nag screens yet. I picked Auslogics because it had the ability to use VSS mode, (which protects the restore points in Win 7 and Vista), provides excellent user control, and has very good user feedback online. Hi there, I am a Sophos partner and currently have clients that run Sophos Essentials on their work machines - and it looks like our licenses are due for expiry soon. Would you guys suggest any alternative vendors that offer the same functionality as Soph.Medico, I have no problem with the Windows defragger (I started using it because Ultimate Defrag deleted my restore points with Win 7), but there’s very little visual information or user options while defrag is taking place (one of the things I liked about Ultimate Defrag). We'd prefer the solution to be entirely local versus cloud based. We're looking for a solution that would allow clients who participate in certain services to punch in and punch out on a time clock with a PIN versus fingerprint or prox card.
