What is it with people and registry cleaners? If he/she is
looking for a registry cleaner then that's fine.

No it's not fine, and warning people about the dangers of using a
registry cleaner is a *good* thing to do.

As long as they know how to open REGEDIT
and backup the registry in case
the registry cleaner does damage.

If the damage the registry cleaner does is render the computer
unbootable (and that *is* sometimes the result), a backup won't help
him.

So, if I tell everyone who is looking for one, not to use a registry cleaner, I won't have
to read any posts similar to these anymore?

Bruce, interjecting a query, here, I'm fearful they're just a form of "legal
grayware.." and access the Internet w/o my knowledge. "legal" is loosely
stated, only MHO.

I'm sorry, but I detect no query in any of the above, nor do I have any
idea either as to whom you're referring to as "they," or to what you're
referring to as "legal greyware."

Two questions:
1) Would a registry compactor be useful?

Not particularly.
2) If all Windows registry cleaners are snake oil, why did Microsoft release
Regclean (sp?) albeit unsupported?

To make money, perhaps?

Q: Why do I not get an answer to my question(s)?
A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top posting such a bad thing?
