Re: Windows XP maintanance

Maybe "Don't" is the wrong term. Take a System Image before you start
and use Registry Cleaners all day long. If 99 out of 100 people use it and
don't have a problem that's OK. If you're the single user who ruins his/her
PC because of a Registry Cleaner you'll sing a different tune. Nobody will
dispute that 3rd-Party programs leave remnants in the Registry. Letting a
automated tool pick what Registry Keys/Values to remove is "Risky". So
the "Don't" people are looking out for the user's interest. Most folks want
the PC to simply work and aren't interested in Tweaks & Tune-ups to get
some imaginary performance gain or boot time reduction. Remember the
remnant Keys & values come from 3rd-Party applications not XP itself.
When & if Microsoft releases a Registry Cleaner for XP and beyond then
the discussion might change a bit, until then they (Registry Cleaners) are
an
accident waiting to happen.
