So much so that you need these diversions to keep you in mischief!

No loss here. I use System Suite. You're the ones losing out because
you don't.

Oh, so you've always behaved in this manner, eh?

The defrag would have impacted performance more than orphaned
registry entries.

It booted up quicker and had better performance BEFORE the
defrag, right after cleaning up the registry. After the defrag,
it got even better.

I cannot see where you did? You might try a little harder
instead of being evasive.

The only way you can demonstrate your point is to test
performance after
each stage of housekeeping. Unless a registry entry causes a
timeout any
superfluous entry will have so little affect than you would
not notice
any difference in performance. You mention removing 1,000
registry entries but how many of those entries would have
been accessed when you
restart the computer? Very few I suspect. If they are
accessed to provide a false start-up the best solution is to
remove them manually
using Autoruns, having first confirmed what affect they have
by disabling rather than removing. The processor handles so
many transactions continuously that a few extra do not make a
significant
difference. Event Viewer Reports generate errors / warnings
if there is
a problem and it is logical to follow up from there.

Based on what you say you have been doing I do not see that
you can
distinguish between the effect on performance of removing
unnecessary
registry entries and defragmenting 4,000 files. Defragmenting
in the
situation you describe will have a noticeable impact. Your
approach may
not pose a significant risk in your hands but if the risk
converts to
reality you can have a major problem which may be very
difficult to
recover from.

You chose not to respond to the specific points I made
earlier, electing only to answer one of a number. Was that
because it did not
suit your cause?


That's because I already addressed them. You just don't
accept what I
say. I can't prove it to you unless you come here and watch
it in action because anything I say that happened, you
won't believe. Unfortunately, you can't do it yourself
because System
Suite 5 is no
longer available and 8, the new version, isn't as good due
to the fact
that someone bought out VCOM and changed the program
considerably.



Is there an echo in here? I removed a slew of errant registry
entries and the performance was increased and the boot time
decreased. Chances are you don't install and uninstall as many
programs as the user of the computer I worked on did. I doubt
you let your hard drive accumulate over 4000 fragmented files
either.

I am also 100% positive that you've never used System Suite 5
and I seriously doubt any of the others who sneer at registry
fixers have either. If what you and the others say is true, I
would have fuçked up 100s of computers and none, I repeat
none, had anything but positive results from using System
Suite 5. I have a friend who turned me on to SS5 and he's a
repair tech and has used it on thousands of computers with no
ill effects, only positive results. So if thousands of
instances with 100% success rates isn't good enough for you,
find someone with SS5 and install and uninstall a couple of
hundred programs, run it and do the tests the way you think
they should be done. Either that or STFU.
