regarding the cleaning of the windows registry

Hello

Is it safe to clean windows registry using my software (Norton).

Second thing! After cleaning the registry, if I want to uninstall a program that will be easy or normal?

could you please let me know what anti-virus (paid version) is good with windows7 professional, because Norton is my slow pc work, even if I have the processor i5 with 4 GB of ram.

No, it is not safe to use any registry cleaner, nor is it necessary.

Registry cleaning programs are all snake oil. Cleaning of the
registration is not necessary and is dangerous. Let alone register and
do not use any registry cleaner. Despite what many people think, and
What software record cleaning suppliers are trying to convince you,
have unused registry entries is not really make you hurt.

The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner by mistake
delete an entry you need is much greater than any potential benefit
It can have.

Read http://www.edbott.com/weblog/archives/000643.html
and http://aumha.net/viewtopic.php?t=28099
and also
http://blogs.technet.com/markrussinovich/Archive/2005/10/02/registry-junk-a-Windows-fact-of-life.aspx

Let me stress that neither me nor anyone else who warns the
use of registry cleaners never said that they always cause
problems. If they have always caused problems, they would disappear from
the market almost immediately. Many people have used a registry
cleaner and never had a problem with it.

The problem with a registry cleaner is that it carries with it
the risk of a significant problem. And since there is no
benefits of using a registry cleaner, running that risk is a very bad
good deal.

  • LVRT 8.5 in the Windows registry: where is it?

    Hello

    I am not satisfied by the System Installer OR. So, I moved to thing as NSIS (http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page) that is spectacular so far and gives really a total control over all aspects of the installation/uninstallation process.

    So I made my request with LV 8.5.

    The idea is that during installation, the NSIS installer will check if the TERM Labview 8.5 is installed in the system, if so, it will continue the installation, otherwise it will start the installation of the LVRT 8.5 first.

    Then, in the Windows registry, where I can find information on the presence of the LVRT 8.5?

    In other words: when I correctly install the LVRT 8.5 in a computer running Windows XP, the strings and Dwords it will write in my registry? and in the paths of the registry?

    Thank you

    PS: Windows Vista? There a registry?

    Hello Pierre,.

    You are right.

    The registry keys written by the development environment or just the execution time are the same.

    So, just as you said, you will find them under HKLM\Software\National Instruments\LabVIEW Time\8.5 run.

    Kind regards

  • How can I add a product to my Adobe account or locate serial number by using the Windows registry?

    I can't find my receipt of e-mail on my purchase of CS6 end 2012. (I had a long illness, packed things away and now experience some loss of memory) I want to start again use my CS6 and thought that I would be able to go to my Adobe account to retrieve my serial number. However, my account does not show the order or registration of CS6 under my products even if I received an email from Adobe System Incorporated, welcoming me and thank me for my purchase. Cat officers do not find the corresponding product to my e-mail and refuse to make exceptions or provide assistance to a disability or illness. They say that they must have the right email address associated with the product or a proof of purchase! Other software companies have helped me to locate the serial number by using the Windows registry and then had me answering security questions. I even offered to fix the Adobe email thanking me for buying the CS6, but they said, it would not help! Does anyone know if/how I can add the CS6 to my account and get partner to my email address? Maybe Adobe cat could help me? Also, does anyone know if an encrypted version of the serial number is indeed somewhere in the Windows registry, which make possible for Adobe to help me, if they were ready? This software was very expensive and I don't understand why they won't help me if they could.

  • Print directly to the printer option in the Windows registry

    I need to find the location for the option "Print directly to the printer" in the Windows registry.  I am trying to create a GPO to enable this option when connecting and I can't find the place for that.  Is this possible to do?  If not, is there another way to activate this to start for all users?  We run Adobe Acrobat X on Windows 7 Enterprise 32-bit.

    Thank you

    This parameter is actually a printer in Windows, not in Acrobat.

  • . Misfortunes of ICO in the Windows registry for my LabVIEW Application

    Wow, adding that last bit of spit-and-shine in a LabVIEW program can turn into any process.

    I defined a type of file with a .tpml (XML file of the temperature profile).  When my user double clicks on a file of this type, it launches my LabVIEW application.  All this is worked and works well.  I even setup for my program add entries to Windows registry key so that the .tpml file type is associated with my program executable.  This is related to my previous post here.

    The problem I have is that I did a fantasy for my LabVIEW program icon and these well DOCUMENTED files.  The problem is that the key of Windows registry entry that associates this file in my program, causing the ATTESTED to the 16 icon file icon x 16 my program executable.  If I remove the association in the register, it goes back to the .ico file I made.

    I don't know if I can add my ATTESTED to my .exe file icon so that an association between the two causes the correct icon to be displayed in Windows, or if there is some other entry registry key that I need to do to replace Windows and requires to use my DOCUMENTED file. ICO for the icon.  Anyone know?

    These are the registry keys that makes my Installer:

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\

    .tpml = "tpmlfile".

    . tpml\DefaultIcon = [INSTALLDIR] data\TPMLFile.ico

    tpmlfile = temperature profile XML file

    tpmlfile\shell\open\command = [INSTALLDIR] Profile Editor.exe '%1 '.

    I have all of the isthmus and the brightness I want in this program with the exception of this problem with the icons (less a few problems the keyboard TAB).  As I said, if I remove the entry "tpml\shell\open\command" in the registry, the DefaultIcon works OK.  With this registry in place entry, it uses by default the icon 16 x 16 for "Profile Editor.exe".

    Any ideas?

    Thank you very much for your time and input!

    -Nic

    The solution was that I needed the DefaultIcon key as a child of tpmlfile entry NOT .tpml.  Here is my final registry keys that work like a champ!

    HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\

    .tpml = "tpmlfile".

    tpmlfile = temperature profile XML file

    tpmlfile\DefaultIcon = [INSTALLDIR] data\TPMLFile.ico

    tpmlfile\shell\open\command = [INSTALLDIR] Profile Editor.exe '%1 '.

    Please any1 help to fix this error.
    I have try several method but doesn't quite work...

    Hello Vikash,

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forum.

    1. You did it any significant hardware or change software on the computer before this problem?
    2. What is the accurate and complete error message that you receive?
    3. What were the troubleshooting steps you have made in order to solve the problem?
    4. You have Microsoft Visual Studio is installed in your system?

    I understand that you get a boot error message when you start your laptop. This can happen due to third party software that may have a corruption of the file operation. Then I suggest that you try the following steps of diagnostics and check if the problem persists:

    Method 1:

    Step 1: Try to start your system in a State of services necessary to the operation and a minimum set of drivers enabled, called Safe Mode.
    Start your computer in safe mode http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows/Start-computer-safe-mode#start-computer-safe-mode=Windows-7

    Step 2: If the system works fine in safe mode, try to clean the system startup:

    How to perform a clean boot in Windows

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    Note: Refer "How to reset the computer to start normally after a boot minimum troubleshooting" to prepare the computer to start as usual after troubleshooting.

    Method 2:

    Check if you have set Windows Update to install pending. To do this, follow the steps in the following link:

    Install Windows updates in Windows 7

    Please install updates waiting for Microsoft Visual Studio.

    Try these steps and check if the problem persists. Post back with your results for assistance.

  • Customization in the windows registry file 8 is missing

    I sometimes changed the lock screen image and everything worked well.                                                                                             But no reason known, I cannot now edit or delete the current picture and I get an error message "Setting of the lock screen has failed, please try again" this also occurs when you try to change the image of the account.

    After doing some research, I have been guided in the records of the registry;

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Personalization

    But when I failed the Windows folder, there is no customization file it contains.                                                                              I don't understand why he would be missing. Can someone tell me how to restore this folder and the key that it contains?

  • Control switch radio wireless (Fn + F5) via the Windows registry / software

    In a school environment, students have discovered that they can cause problems using the software switch Fn + F5 to turn off the Wifi radio. I know that the material LED turns off when this happens, but the teachers are too busy to identify it. The result is that users are unable to connect, and the Windows Welcome screen is not quite intuitive, which gives a message error "there currently no server connection.

    I am interested in applying a "fix" to this problem at startup. Maybe a fix Windows registry to "force" the Lenovo software switch to turn on the Wifi.

    I had a bag autour with a comparison of registry Interstate market and am currently getting the following (among other changes, such as DHCP etc.) diff:

    However, forcing these dwords to 0 x 1 doesn't seem to be enough to turn on the radio.

    Has anyone else had a similar experience? Is there a BIOS/UEFI underlying setting that might be able to be accessed via the software?
