And of course if you're an average computer user like me you have to be
really careful about messing around in system registry. I've crippled a fair
few operating systems in my time without realizing what I was doing. Had to
have my dad come over and reinstall the whole OS, which of course usually
takes hours. At least it did on my old Gateway, but that only had about 64
meg of ram so that's probably hardly surprising. Games sure didn't run very
well on that thing.

Vender: No pizza. Only Khlav Kalash.

Hi,
Lol! Paranoia is right. I wouldn't reformat my system every month, but I
do reformat every six months or so to make sure my system runs at peak
performance if and when possible. Windows is notorious for running great
when it is installed fresh, but the more you use it the system performance
goes way down after a while. The registry gets clogged up with junk, your
temp directories fill up with junk, and sooner or later the operating
system sort of just self-destructs from so much use. It has pretty poor
resource management all and all. I just ran a registry scan a couple of
days ago and it found over 2000 registry errors, all created with in the
space of a months time, and corrected them. Doesn't that say how easy
Windows can go to Hades in a handbag?

I know if I was a lock smith and someone who was doing this complained at
me for making my keys take too much time to unlock I'd ask what planet
they were from!
Ditto with registrations.
Security is one thing, paranoyer is another!
Beware the Grue!
