And you attacked me for criticizing a program dumping out keys onto a system
when those did not apply to that system, that program's actions as reported.
No, no I didn't.
Some keys related to some of the services not used by 98. Others keys
related to software that could be found, or not found, on either OS. The
whole point is that any software that gets to stage A of functionality,
it has the ability to READ the target registry.
This was not an OS issue, how can you not get that through your head.
You are so outrageously fixated on your tiresome XP singsonging. Wave
your XP rahrah flag when you want, Bob. But don't bring it in when it
is not the issue at hand.
OK Karen let's see if we can agree to disagree:
I say SafeXP did no harm to my registry, and you say it hosed yours.
I'll take your word for it if you'll take my word for it. (I never doubted
you in the first place)
tiresome XP singsonging,,,Wave
your XP rahrah flag when you want, Bob.
You seem to be implying here that I am trying to push Windows XP on you. Far
from it! I'm totally pragmatic about software. Software is cold,
inanimate, and without feeling. All the software in the world is not worth 1
friendship to me. It's just a collection of 1's and 0's. I neither love nor
hate software. I find it either useful, neutral, or not useful. You seem to
exhibit strong loyalty and emotional attachment to software. That will not
serve you well Karen, because software can never return your loyalty. Well,
not yet anyway!

I save my loyalty and affection for my friends and family, and treat
software as a thing, not as a binary friend. I don't take it personally when
a program adds 6 keys to my registry unsolicited. I look at the usefulness
of the program in total.
Again, I rate SafeXP a 7/10, which is far from being a flattering rating.
I do not like or dislike SafeXP. I do find it somewhat useful. It's a very
quick way to de-activate and re-activate unneeded or unsafe Windows services
and possible exploits. That's all there is to it. No hidden agenda.
