Quote:Registry cleaners do more harm that good. The registry is filled with settings and application configurations not file systems. Cleaning what registry cleaners clean won't speed up performance, but it will harm it causing it to run slower.
What do you mean by file systems? they hold settings for file extensions. Be more specific on that. And you haven't provided any proof of why it should cause any harm in your post, even though it can, but it's been unlikely with my experience on registry cleaners. Also, you haven't supported the idea that it won't affect computer performance either, so that statement in my mind still lays as one of your opinions. Read through my post before this first, and then post again. I don't see that you've taken the time to read through Quintus' post either.
Quote:There are a few orphaned entries that would be helpful to remove, but they won't affect performance. Windows will read the file doesn't exist and it will skip it on start up.
But it has to read the file first to determine it's not in use so that 'skip' still takes up a little time.
Quote:It is a helper's choice to remove orphaned entries or ComboFix will safely remove the ones that need be removed. Otherwise, registry cleaners should not be ran.
If you're suggesting to use ComodoFix to clean the registry, is it not acting like a registry cleaner itself then? Only difference is that Registry cleaners have been specifically developed to carry out that task on a greater level.
Quote:The only thing that will speed up performance is removing cache and temp files. BootSpeed and CCleaner are good cleaners for that, but should never be used to clean the registry.
Wait... The only thing? Have you read through the first post to this thread?
