What business is it of yours to put a proof-burden on the OP? You
didn't even indicate any kind of reason for asking for something so
ridiculous, not even so much as a curiousity factor on your part, which
we all know isn't your reason..
You have completely ignored the OP's question and are only looking
for an opening to tell him how it's not to be done or it's silly to do
or a waste of time or whatever your agenda might happen to be when you
decide to pound the keyboard. That's dumb.

No, it's neither silly nor dumb; It's outrages! I suspect that he's getting
some kind of sexual gratification from all this. Almost all of his
(including a couple of other frequent contributors) initial responses are
meant to demean the original poster using snipes and grandiosity.
These three (3) individuals must have a miserable existance; Their lonly
desire to be noticed has no bounds. Newsgroups are ideal for these sorry
individuals to exercise their imaginary superiority, oh well.
 
No. You were being a pompous ass - as usual - and were readying to
lecture the OP about the relation or lack thereof between a "clean
registry" and the speed of one's computer.
You are so transparent.

Agree wholeheartedly!
 
Actually, /why/ you want to remove the registry entries is very
important..to the many of us who actually care about users' welfare
vs. simply handing out information which may or may not do you any
favors and which may come back to haunt you.

And then again, he may already know and feel that it's counterproductive
to enter into such an arcane discussion. Your refusing to help becuase
he doesn't give a "why" answer is silly and a decision that is not yours
to make. You can ask but you cannont insist or intimate your own
opinion as applying to him. We all know how flawed your opinions are.
Granted, you are free to do with your computer what you want. However,
if your larger purpose is to understand how to use your computer
wisely, understanding what you think you want to accomplish is most
important. OTOH, if you aren't that interested in your computer well,
best of luck to you.

isn't interesting how small

of microsoft's operating system
and have the balls to persuade others
to disregard the manufacturer's
recommendations, i.e. microsoft:

You can say that again; it would be comedic if they weren't spreading
misinformation under the guise of being know-alls and having the only
opinion on earth that matters, even in the face of volumes of evidence
and experiences to the contrary. When a small mind is a closed mind,
it will never grow as evidenced by some of these "guru" types who have
had exactly ONE experience in their background and, more often and
likely, NONE.

What's made up about that? Or the whole rest of the article for that

you wouldn't understand them so ...
 
someone that goes by "unknown"
will never have any creditability
nor can it be a measurement of
any worth because it reflects
a lack of value for oneself.

there is more respect for
those who are known by
some measure of experience
and or accomplishments.

LOL. I also mentioned Sarah Palin in one of my posts. Does that mean
she impressed me? Ummm, I don't think so.

LOL. I'm also a veteran of the Vietnam War (from which this country has
obviously learned NOTHING). Maybe I should put that down too. :-)
 
Well sure, as long as they get their information right. But when they
don't, be prepared to be corrected on it. As I said before, we're not
still back in the days of using EDLIN and DBASE1. Or at least some of us
aren't.
 
Do you believe everything you read? (Nevermind, it was somewhat
rhetorical).

I have Administrative privileges and I ran jv16powertools to
cleanout unneeded registry entries. It showed twelve(12) instances
of "Flash9b.ocx", but would not let me delete them. This was
installed by Adobe flashplayer. I uninstalled Flash player and
Shockwave player and ran jv16 again. Still had 12 instances of
"flash9b.ocx" and still could not delete them. I ran regedit
and went to the entries and still was unable to delete them.
How can I delete these entries?
