DONE! Years ago. If you have such solid footing, YOU provide something.
YOU are the one having problems with people believing your misinformation;
YOU pony up and prove it.
My own proof is many years of using same for many purposes over the years
on many systems of my own and that of clients. That means experience and
knowledge and detailed observations. What have ou got? Everything I've
said previously still goes.
Neither you nor any of your fellow supposed MVP and tossed-out MVPs have
EVER provided on iota of evidence to the contrary of what I've said.
Never. None. Not a word. One of your, what was the phrase, oh yeah,
"peon-parrots" once indicated a years old experience on one machine with
one such application and has since sworn off them forever thanks to snake
oil posts such as you and three others like to present. But at least your
"peon-parrot" admitted his situation and that he hadn't touched one since
then. You and your cohorts havent' even done that much, even though your
own experiences are very likely identical IFF you have ever even used such
an application. You guys are even railing against your own Microsoft
version of the same application, in fact. As supposed MVP's that's
forbidden to do.
So, entertainment aside, you are just plain wrong, have no way to show
anything other than the truth I've put forth. When one of you do decide
to talk about it at all, you pick out one tiny, insignificant point, like,
say, they don't make machines run faster. I never said they DID! I said
they CAN, and I also said they urually will not, and that the picture us
much larger than that. I think the term myopic fits here too. None of
you seem to have the reading comprehension of a third grader, IMO, from
what I've seen over the last few weeks.
Gee, there's that sig again; you're really cruisin' to get yourself
reported for spamming aren't you? No worry, it won't be me does that; I
don't bother with pinheads who don't know spam from shinola anyway on
newsgroups. I'd talk about scruples, but I know the word isn't likely
meaningful to you.
Thanks,

You have not provided any proof that a registry cleaner speeds up a
computer, yet you have said that a computer will 'limp along' if a registry
cleaner is not used. Your statement doesn't suggest 'can speed up'. It
suggests 'will speed up'.
Regclean 4.0 speeded up Win 9x because Win 9x did not cope well with an ever
growing registry. It cleaned out ONLY the safest of stuff within the
registry, but did NOT do anything approaching a full clean.
The NT family do not suffer the same issues as Win 9x, as they ignore
orphaned entries. Removing them makes no difference to performance.
Over time, I have tried out almost all of the registry cleaners available on
NT family operating systems, and NONE of them have ever given better
performance. What some have done is left the system partially crippled.
The only registry cleaner I ever use is Regcleaner 4.3 (JV16), but I do NOT
use it to get more performance. It is the ONLY registry cleaner of any value
when addressing registry entries created by malware and can save time. But
it doesn't always nail all of the bad entries, and there is still a need to
manually edit the registry.
The registry cleaners that one has to pay for are not worth a dime to the
average user or to anybody. They make claims which can't and never have been
substantiated other than in Windows 9x, and the only two trustworthy
registry cleaner for use on Win 9x were/are Regclean 4.0 and Regcleaner
(JV16).
You appear to know little about what an MVP is or does, and you will
probably say that you don't care. However, that doesn't stop you making wild
claims.
Who is my 'peon parrot? I have NEVER used that phrase.
Which MVPs have been 'tossed' out? We are never told by Microsoft why a name
has gone from the list of MVPs. The only way we find out is if the outgoing
MVP tells us. The three reasons of which I am aware are death, an input
reduction within the public community areas due to work or family issues, or
being taken into the Microsoft company because they have such specialized
knowledge.
Posts in the MS newsgroups over the years have shown that registry cleaners
can do more harm than good. Many of us have seen the effects of registry
cleaners with either clients coming to us to get their computers fixed, or
within large companies where individual employees have taken it upon
themselves to try to fix problems on their workstations by loading and
running registry cleaners.
It would be difficult to amass data on all of the above incidents, but it
shouldn't be too difficult for you to prove that registry cleaners speed up
and/or improve a computer, yet still you have not done that. All you have
done is point to spurious claims by the registry cleaner authors. The burden
of proof is on you, especially as your information might well lead to a
computer user handing over money to screw up their computer..
