Hey,

I saw a message on this forum a few days ago about how you can delete and rebuild your registry. Does anybody know the command line for this and any parameters that I might need to add? Also, if I do this, how long will it take and do I have to do it in DOS?

Please let me know soon so that I can get my resgitry rebuilt, cause it shows a lot of programs and games on it that are no longer there (because my brother deletes the stuff through My Computer and etc...).

If you just want to remove the programs, you don't need to rebuild the whole registry. Go to -

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Software
Microsoft
Windows
Current Version
Uninstall

and delete the unwanted programs there.

That just removes the Uninstall program.
The rest of the app is still scattered throughout the registry!

You need a registry cleaner.
