669, not bad for about 3 years. I just watched my count skyrocket from 200 once it reached the DX keys.

Hmm, fixed 162, left 506 for the registered version.

993 after about 3 years. Not sure I trust program to delete some of the registry keys it wants to - a lot of them look quite valid to me.

Boo!

2106 - I'm in the lead!

OS is ~5 years old, about half the "problems" were missing uninstall info for crap I've manually deleted.

fik, have you ever heard of subfolders? clean off that desktop! A programmer's desk can be messy, not their desktop!

Not bad, 192 errors after half a year without cleaning.
But: explain me this, I ran CCleaner (and some others) which is free alternative, then ran This "mechanic" again and it showed 199 errors...


btw, all other OS' dont have registry to worry about

Well all OS' have some kind of filesystem to worry about, which is just as bad when proggies install crap all over it.

Im surprised it hasnt already, your using the Desktop path as a working directory for a billion things!

There should be nothing housed or run from the desktop, make folders on root drives, and have the billion shortcuts on the desktop

might want to defrag after the clean up

I like my desktop like this everything to hand . This is just my test machine that i download demo progs etc onto as these are the main culprit for messing up the registry on it. I do clear it all up every 6 months or so when there is no space on desktop for any more stuff.

22 on my laptop
249 on my central desktop
31 on my file server
81 on my old 486 DX4/100
97 on my junk machine (made out of an old wire cage with the bits and peices like motherboard/ HDD/ CD-Rom all handing by wires as a new age art project)
and 792 on my bothers laptop that he left here last week.

everything will still be "right there", it will just execute out of the directory where it actually resides, not the desktop.

I hate icons, I have absolutely no icons on my desktop, none at all, they are turned off. Things I use the most get a quicklaunch icon in the taskbar, everything else gets put in the start menu. I mean, what's the point in having a nice desktop wallpaper if you can't see it through the icons?
