In Windows 7 (and Vista), the WinSxS folder (which was created as a solution against DLL Hell) contains a lot of reparse points. Thousands of them. ...thank badly written software for that.

Here's mine: I like that Win8 Betta fish

No. It's a lame attempt to say "look at meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I have an early Win8 build!!!1!11!". The new GUI is never shown before the betas anyway. Win7 had Vista's GUI before the beta, just like Vista had XP's, etc.

18 here, for W7 as well as Office 2010 and .NET (and MS's malicious software removal tool). New record!

It's probably because Windows Explorer still doesn't handle junction points and all that stuff correctly,

Send a PM to a member of the Piriform staff (MrRon, MrT, MrG...), they should answer you. And don't worry, this is a small mistake compared to what the French translation was before I started translating Piriform products

Well, I'm not sure about Google, but some registry keys are there for compatibility purposes although they look like unused ones (Compatibility is the main reason the Registry is a huge mess, in fact...)

Some of these keys might be needed by the system (e.g. for compatibility purposes) Maybe you could re-install what she uninstalled and then uninstall them using REVO? Anyway, unused Registry keys are harmless, and the Registry contains hundreds of thousands of keys already - a few more doesn't do any performance difference.

Actually, the file is still there (you'd have to wipe the MFT free space to prevent that). I think it first overwrite the file X times with random data the size of the file, then change its name, and then deletes it. The random data is still there on the disk, but since the disk's free space also contains random data, you can't tell there was a file there before

I want the EU, the DoJ et al. to stop suing Microsoft whenever they introduce new things into Windows. Then Microsoft will be able to do nice things About the "inside" of Win8....AppX "Jupiter" packages look like it's the end of bad uninstallers.

I can't imagine the complexity needed for an algorithm that successfully distinguishes non-explicit pictures (e.g. a picture of someone's face) and "explicit pictures", whatever that means (porn ? naked people ? blood ?). Anyway, even if it existed it wouldn't prevent people from watching porn

Well, that's what happens when the OS has to be compatible with software written for it, and not the other way around like it should be.

Un-patch everything you patched (such as explorer.exe to have custom back/forward buttons)

WoW64 doesn't do anything to integrity levels ; however, it denies x86 software write access to folders such as Program Files (which is redirected to Program Files (x86) ) and system32 (redirected to Sysnative). They can still read from those folders, however. Even 64-bit programs are impacted by some redirections (when a non-admin program tries to write into Program Files if UAC is enabled, it will sometimes (I can't figure out when) be redirected to a folder within AppData to prevent apps from failing to run because of security permissions introduced in Vista). I once had the same problem - I was creating a screensaver, and ordered Visual Studio to move it into System32 upon successful compiling. I spent half an hour finding why it wasn't moved to system32

I'd describe that as a problem with bad uninstallers in general (yes, Symantec and McAfee, I'm looking at you) rather than a Registry problem. Like you, I got rid of Java a long time ago....the only software I ever used that needed Java was a World of Goo patcher.

Nope. CCleaner's Registry scanner, like its Cleaner, only deletes what it is told to ; keys in certain hives which match some filters (e.g. non-existent target)

Is your Windows 64-bit and Macrium a 32-bit app? WoW64 redirects certain things to other places (e.g. C:\Windows\System32 to C:\Windows\Sysnative).

CCleaner doesn't detect those things.

Actually, you can replace "Nvidia" with "AMD" in that sentence, and it's correct too.

Returnil allows you to make a complete save of your computer and use it without actually doing anything on your computer, if I remember correctly? That should work.

They aren't. Java and JavaScript are two completely different things.

It is stable. Unless you use it with non-default themes

Java has nothing to do with JavaScript. Java is an interpreted programming language for cross-platform desktop applications. JavaScript is a script language used everywhere on the web (including on this forum). Your browser contains a JavaScript interpreter ; you cannot uninstall it. However, you can uninstall Java from your computer, and most likely all your apps will still work. (If I could travel back in time and slap the guy who said "why don't we name this script language JavaScript"....)

JavaScript is used everywhere on the web. Your browser contains a JavaScript interpreter. It is not, however, used on desktop apps.
