reformat!!!

woohoooo



most registry cleaners are really junk and they wont remove specific entries that tend to be used for application registration data..

actually ive found more often then not (from trying quite a few different ones) that they can actually cause more problems then they seem to fix..

and manually seaching thru the registry for related entries is a HUGE bitch.. as most of the time the 'important' stuff isnt under an obvious name... sometimes it works for me but usually not.. and ill seach for variations of the app name and the company that makes it.. And a lot of programs dont use just the registry if they use it at all.. Ive found a lot stick random files in somewhere else and check those on reinstall and such (places like ../windows/ or ../windows/system32/ etc...) with encrypted data, or even encrypted file names (making it near impossible to track down the right file)
