Sorry but we take a hard line with unsolicited application promotions in these forums. That's why I deleted your post.

Just a note though, we don't like "Registry cleaners", or "Registry optimizers" in these forums. The Windows registry doesn't need cleaning or optimising and using such utilities can often cause more problems and difficulties that they solve. These forums are littered with posts and discussions about how this or that registry cleaner ruined an operating system.

My advice? Stay away from them.

Mark
