From all the foregoing, this would appear to be an appropriate place to post this! I'm a relative newbie, as I believe I have said elsewhere before, but sufficiently adventurous and savvy to attempt most things. But these registry edits seem terribly important while being damned dangerous if wrongly effected. When will somebody write a reg. editing program that will be sufficiently selective to remove unwanted entries and leave untouched those ambiguous ones which can stuff up the whole thing if wrongly removed? All those programs that I have installed or previewed have this copout which says remove these at your peril - we take no responsibility. Isn't this just a method of simplifying the regedit function built into Windows? After all, regedit finds all the references, and the onus is on you, the user, to differentiate between the removable redundant entries, and those which are linked to other programs and will create mayhem if removed.
