Using MS Registry Ceaner

Registry Cleaner is a neat tool when the standard uninstall process fails.

I am wondering if there is a way to track changes made to the registry
while removing a given entry with this Registry Cleaner?

Thanks

Where is MS reg cleaner in Win XP, SP3? If not supplied with installation,
where in MS web pages is it downloadable? Have searched MS, no result. Do
you mean that MS, not third parties, have supplied this app?

when you run the microsoft
online scanner

it will then provide a listing
of results.

if you look carefully at the
listing you will see small
drop down arrows

these will expand the line
items and show you
additional details.


however, if you are seeking
a method to do a before and
after a registry cleaner has
been executed,

I believe you will not find
a convenient method to
do this.

I believe you're correct. That was one of MS goofs. They bought out the
company developing One Care.
It is no longer available and has been replaced by Microsoft Security
Essentials.

Hi John,

The registry tool I use, JV Powertools, saves the removal items in reg
files, and dates them, so you can see when and what you've done.

Only in the hands of those that think they're a cure-all, and don't have
the knowledge to know how to properly use them.

The only tool that can keep track of changes is CCLEANER and it is
downloadable from here:
