I'd like to know what you use when working with Windows XP Registry. I am looking for something that will 1) Bring up all instances of a program through Find All function 2) Give me the ability to safely delete all instances at once. (I'm getting tired of doing it one by one) Is there anything like this or am I dreaming on a lazy Sunday morning in NYC? Thanks i_XpUser

I found the solution to my first question. Nirsoft's Registry Scanner (RegScanner v1.20) does that. Still looking for answers to my second question. Anyone? i_XpUser

Found alternative solution to my first question - it's Bill James's VBScript edit called Registry Search Tool. IMO Nirsoft RegScanner is better because I don't have to import a reg file. Still searching for answers to my second question. Anyone willing to help me out? i_XpUser

I use RegCleaner on a regular basis. It does not work inside the registry but will list hardware and relative registry entries and make them available for deletion directly from the listing. Also it allows a preview of the registry entry. I like it and it has never scrambled a system like some others I have tried over the years. http://www.worldstart.com/weekly-download/archives/reg-cleaner4.3.htm Good luck Greaner

"2) Give me the ability to safely delete all instances at once. (I'm getting tired of doing it one by one)" I find that really odd, every single registry tool that I have used allows the selection and deletion of multiple items at a time. What program is it that you use that isn't allowing you to do this. BTW, what I use the most is a combination of EasyCleaner, RegSupreme Pro and RegVac. When Google isn't your best pal

You have to check out this program called WINXP Manager.It can do alot including registry clean and repair.Last evening i tried un-installing Quake 4 first through add\remove programs then CC Cleaner un-installer.It just wouldn't un-install!.Then i noticed winxp manager has Smart Un-installer.Used it and was amazed.It searched for every reference to this game and deleted everything.So long Quake 4!.

Hello everyone, XpUser, If you are not wanting to continue hitting F3 when using the Find function within regedit but get a list of the entire search you can use Registry Explorer. It will also allow you to delete all or a portion of the search results. "Give me the ability to safely delete all instances at once". Registry explorer is no more or no less safe than using regedit, just much quicker. Best Regards, Mesich
