My question is: can I make the following changes to the registry of
Windows XP Home without fear of creating a big problem?
I do have and regularly use a registry cleaner. Doesn't help with this
problem.
Which one?
The one that I use is called Registry Mechanic.
Now this story: Five years ago or so I paid a one-time fee of about $30
for this software, and received updates for a while. Then last year I
noticed a credit card charge to Registry Mechanic of about $20. I
emailed RM and asked why this unauthorized charge was put on my credit
card. They said that I could have it removed, so I did. They removed
the charge but informed me that I was no longer authorized to use their
software and must delete same from my computer. Since this was
definitely not the original agreement that I had with them, I continue
to use it.
The registry cleaner is bundled with a registry optimization (I guess
compaction) program, as well as an optional resident program that
monitors any changes to the registry so that it can be restored when any
software is installed. Before cleaning the registry, a restore point is
always created.
