Hi there,
What's the best way to clean your registry of multiple old component
references? I've got a few orphans in there from old versions, builds that
have been renamed, had source paths deleted, etc. I was going to use
RegClean but see a few warnings regarding to Office 2000 and later related
to it. I'm using Windows 2000, Office 2000, VB 6 and InterDev.
Regards,

You might take a look at the RegCtrls utility on our Web site. It's free and
does stuff like that. But you'll need to review it to see if what it does is
acceptable.

Hi!
If you still have the old files and they are not too many just unregister
the controls by
regsv32.exe /u "<your dll>
Don't forget the /u option.

You'll still leave some garbage, but at least they'll be gone from the
References dialog if you search for the filename and delete all keys
that contain it. Then re-register the final version.
If you want to be more complete, note the classid before you delete
any of the above keys, and search on that, too.

Reinstalling windows is the only reliable way to clean the registry.

I agree with Ken, but you have to run RegClean multiple times until it
comes up with no errors, twice is normally sufficient

Just to add on, folks in the XP newsgroups seem to say avoid
using any type of registry cleaner on XP systems.

VB.Net... just say "No"
LOL
Yeah, I know what you mean. All the bugs that came with Win95
are back in a Microsoft created passion that only belongs to
Microsoft. Microsoft created the bugs, and redeployed the bugs.
And this method of updating through their website, through the use
of executable installs, instead of grabbing all the updates as .cabs,
and providing a seperate file to do the installation... makes the
resulting globs of executables larger. I think the gobs could be
shrunk by a 1GB of network transmissions, if there was just one
install program and it was all read from a cab. Their cab
compression methods seemed to have passed up Zip compression
methods a long time ago (or at least they are on par with).
Are there any good CD writers that work with Win2K? <g> Darn
CD writer from I Oh Maygag I have only works with XP and has
never worked for the OS it was designed to work with. I think I'm
due for a new CD (maybe DVD) writer.
