It just removes invalid entries. I've been using it for years and my desktop is still here.

It does remove Unused File Extensions,Missing Shared DLL's and Open with Application Issues (shells), only if you so choose. I have had problems with the Open with Application Issues and Missing Shared DLL's being deleted. When it happened, I could still boot to the Desktop and I was able to use the restore of the backup provided. If you can't boot up after the deletions, you cannot restore the backup, AFAIK. Buffalo PS: I have never noticed a speed increase after I used the Registry Cleaner function, have you?

I have about 100 servers that have RAID-1 groups on them as well as many other array types. In one server the client applications were slowly failing to pull PDF files, up to 8000 per directory and 1 directory per day - the failures started after about a year. In the case of these PDF's, they are added to the server, edited at least 2 times each, some as many as 10 times, and saved back on the server - this naturally creates a LOT of fragmented files - in one case, one PDF had 3,200+ fragments. To resolve the issue, the only thing that was done was to defrag the drive that the PDF's were contained on. Once that was completed the application performed like the day it was installed. We have since created a weekend defrag task and the problem has not surfaced again. The document management company that created this system had been fighting this problem with hundreds of their customers, and it was my "Defrag" that resolved it for our system and after I passed this on to them, it resolved the issue for all of their long term customers systems too. So, since you don't appear to have any real-world experience yourself, why do you listen to people that have a vested interest in something vs. those of us that have no vested interest? -- You can't trust your best friends, your five senses, only the little voice inside you that most civilians don't even hear -- Listen to that.
