QUOTE(Sputnik @ Feb 10 2007, 10:13 AM) [snapback]62370[/snapback] @ Andavari: is there a particular reason you stopped using RegSeeker? Yes. I have better things to do than track down every so-called "invalid" reference it finds which has turned into a very unappealing chore, especially when much of the stuff found wasn't even invalid to begin with so it was a waste of time, thus the bore compliment I made several posts up from this one. Plus the progress is rather slow in only finding stuff in my registry - when such a task needs to be done by a group/community of people whom could submit exclusions into a sort of database to cover more software titles, etc. Although it seems the customized exclude.ini file is a tidbit more popular than I could have imagined as a Google search turned up multiple pages it's mentioned in, and one person surprisingly stated it made RegSeeker 10x safer to use, wow. Anyways I just hope the developer of the program takes charge in making it even at least 20x safer because with the default exclude.ini it's dangerous especially if people delete everything it lists. -------------------- |

RegSeeker 1.55 is out.
Does it encorporate your 'suggestions'? |

I updated the installation instructions for newer versions of RegSeeker to remove any installation confusion. See post #1 for info.

I don't keep Web shortcuts but I do have a lot in my Favorites and the icons are stored in FavIcons that are cleared when the Temporary Internet Files cache is cleared.
I use AM-Deadlink to keep the FavIcons for my Favorites. QUOTE AM-DeadLink detects dead links and duplicates in browser bookmarks and text files. If a bookmark has become unavailable you can verify and delete it permanently. Additionally you can download FavIcons for all your Favorites and Bookmarks. http://www.aignes.com/deadlink.htm

I'm glad its only the web shortcut icons. Also I'd recommend not running Regseeker's icon cache refresher on Windows XP, Vista, or newer systems because it has the habit of breaking the transparency and the only fix I know of is to restore the registry via System Restore or an ERUNT backup. -------------------- |
