I received an email saying that this suggestion had been rejected. I thought the suggestion was actually quite pertinent. Many inexperienced users use these registry fixers thinking they will fix a whole wodge of problems, but in reality they end up screwing up their operating system because of a lack of knowledge about the registry. surely it is your responsibility to ensure they at least have information at their fingertips to help avoid such problems by using the program sensibly. (I used a cleaner many years ago and ended up deleting over 300GB of data, some of it unrecoverable.) So have been wary of cleaners be they hard drive or registry cleaners ever since.
