You failed to address the fact there is no reliable, verifiable attribution.. As a matter of fact, you failed to address this cite at all. No name-calling or redirection.

You're slipping.

I only mentioned the spelling because of your parsing in the original response, my pointing out that the current commander-in-chief doesn't have a total grasp of the English language just as most of us don't. The misspelled word isn't my issue. It's your inability to verify the words you attributed to Herman Cain by what most would consider a verifiable media source. Not some anonymous blogger or tweet or comment posted by a reader. Name-calling, misdirection, and disingenuous excuses don't reconcile the fact that no known media source has attributed either "recollate" or "recolate" to Mr. Cain. Only you and three unverified sources.

In other words, your comprehension appears to be lacking. Not a good thing for one that is so puffed-up about his own education and intelligence.

I agreed that the links provided have the word in question within them (another failure in your reading comprehension). I even pointed out where I read them. I also pointed out that the one news article you cited DIDN'T have the word in it, only a comment left by a reader mentioned it. Hardly a reputable source. As for my supposed lack of integrity, one need only read your dishonest and condescending replies to gauge which of us lacks true integrity.

Translation: Bigot Zapper challenged your assertion and Mack A. Damia couldn't properly defend it.

Then there's your refusal (twice) to address the "Cominskey" Park quote by Mr. Obama.

All you've succeeded in doing is, to quote you elsewhere in this thread, "....blow smoke on the essence of the discussion"

That whole class of software is nonsense. It mainly
cleans out the *\Software\* subkeys, which are harmless,
and you can easily clean them by hand if you want to.
The other thing they might do is to check that CLSIDs
are valid by making sure the paths to InProcServer32
and LocalServer32 files are valid. That's rarely a problem.
If it is, you'll find out soon enough.

I think it's analogous to washing your car engine in
order to make it run better. It does no real good and
occasionally could do harm. It's just a way for non-
mechanics to feel that they're doing what they can to
keep up with auto maintenance.

Another thought: For questions like this you can
ask in the Windows groups, like these:

microsoft.public.windows.vista.general
microsoft.public.windowsxp.general

I think they're still active, but they also tend to
be populated by a lot of wiseacres looking for
something to do. The answers you get will range
from the very well-informed to the reckless rantings
of blowhards.

Yes, but you ARE removing clutter from the registry. Those keys may be
harmless, but they are unneccesarily taking up space.

BTW, to mp, I use ccleaner now for all the different types of cleaning
it does. I've also used Auslogics Registry Cleaner, which seemed to
work fine and it's free, too.

Sure, a few kb. Ok, maybe a megabyte.

Mayayana, MM, Tony, BeeJ, avi and Eduardo, thank you all for responding,
and sorry again for the ot

I didn't realize that cleaning the reg was so unproductive.
My old laptop finally died and had to buy a new comp. at first was much
faster than the old tank but soon slowed to a crawl (relatively) so
thought maybe I could clean out some junk that may have crept in.

Im pretty dumb system wise, will check the windows sites next time,
but I do have a trust issue except for here.
