Questions related to the installation of RegSupreme


Q: What kind of registry entries RegSupreme adds to the registry during the installation?
A: The program doesn't create any registry entries to your registry, it also doesn't modify any existing entries. However, the product's trial system will place a tiny hidden data file inside your system to prevent the abuse of the 30 day trial opportunity. The size of the hidden data is no more than 1 KB. In other words, if you have a small 2 GB hard disk the space reserved by the trial system is roughly 0,0000005% of your hard drive space. If you don't agree with this policy, do not use RegSupreme.


Questions related to the general usage


Q: Registry cleaner X scans the registry for ten minutes while RegSupreme analyses the registry only for under a minute. Doesn't this mean that it doesn't go as deep as the other cleaner?
A: Absolutely not. The RegSupreme's incredible speed is the result of its new advanced registry cleaner engine and it does go through the whole registry, not only some parts of it.

Q: Registry cleaner X scans for 100.000 entries while RegSupreme says it only analysed 80.000. Doesn't this mean the other registry cleaner looks deeper?
A: No it doesn't mean that. The procedure to scan the registry for invalid entries is very complex and takes many steps. There are many different ways how you can calculate the amount of the analysed registry keys during the scan. The number of analysed registry keys and entries shown by RegSupreme is only a rough estimate and is only shown to present some information about the progress of the procedure to the user. It cannot be used for any kind of comparisons.

Q: Does the Aggressive scan option also contain the Normal scan option, i.e. Do I have to run all the scan options for the best performance?
A: No. The Aggressive scan method contains everything from the Normal scan.

Q: With what command line parameter I can automate the registry cleaner?
A: RegSupreme doesn't support any kind of automation features, if you wish to be able to automate the registry cleaning procedure you should use jv16 PowerTools which supports many advanced automation methods.

Q: Are all the found items really safe to remove?
A: They should be. RegSupreme has passed our own most strict safety test with synthetic test data but also real life testing environments, it has also been tested by many highly skilled testers and there hasn't been any serious problems. Of course, such situations are possible, and in such cases Macecraft Software cannot be held responsible for any kind of damages. See the License Agreement for further details. Do not use the RegSupreme if you do not agree to this policy.

Q: RegSupreme reports many invalid items as "File doesn't exist", however, the item is in fact a directory and not a file at all. Doesn't RegSupreme check that?
A: Of course it does. The user interface only reports "File doesn't exist" simply because "File or directory doesn't exist" would be much longer and thus require much more space from the screen.
