Windows Forum / Windows XP / Performance and Maintainance / November 2005registry entries
how do you identify which registry entries are associated to which programs? I ask this because I have started to clean my registry regularily and have found entries that clearly identify the programs they are associated with but have also found entries that make no sense, particularily in my start up for example, ws35tnh with a value of piched20.exe. Please help "how do you identify which registry entries are associated to which programs?" That requires both a detailed understanding of the Windows registry and a detailed knowledge of how a particular program is installed. "I have started to clean my registry regularily..." This is both unnecessary and dangerous. And, quite frankly, given your level of knowledge, foolish. "[I]...have also found entries that make no sense, particularily in my start up for example, ws35tnh with a value of piched20.exe" Have you thought about viruses or spyware?

It is favoured over Registry Mechanic in some circles or was when the topic arose some months ago. http://www.ccleaner.com/ccdownload.asp http://www.ccleaner.com/ With any cleaner you need to proceed with caution. I invariably recommend creating a restore point before using cCleaner. cCleaner also offers backup before removal. SignatureHope this helps.
