-
- HOW TO INSTALL
- --------------
-
- Copy RegClean.exe from the CD to a folder on your machine.
-
- Please do not run it from a shared writeable network folder, as
- RegClean will eventually create an undo file that is specific to
- your machine. This file should be stored on your machine. If it
- is stored on a network folder, your undo file may get confused
- with other users or worse, corrupt data stored on those files.
-
- HOW TO RUN
- ----------
-
- RegClean will start by displaying a progress dialog. While this
- is shown, it will load a copy of the parts of the registry
- that it is going to check, and perform the actual scanning.
- Depending on how much information is in the registry and the
- speed of your CPU, this will take anywhere from about
- 2 to 30 minutes.
-
- If you have many entries in your registry, there may be times
- that RegClean appears to have stopped working. In fact, RegClean
- may appear completely halted whenever it is checking remote or
- removable drives.
-
- Once these progress meters are gone, you will be prompted for the
- next action. You can do two things at this point.
-
- Thing 1 - Exit RegClean.
-
- Well, thatÆs kind of pointless, but you can do it. Just press
- the Cancel button.
-
- Thing 2 - Allow RegClean to fix errors that it found.
-
- This will create an UNDO.REG file in the folder where
- RegClean was run from. The file will be titled "Undo
- yyyymmdd hhmmss.REG" where yyyymmdd is the date and hhmmss
- is the time. Then Regclean will remove these entries from
- the registry. You will see a progress meter while it does
- this. Sometimes, the progress meter may stop momentarily,
- but it should resume after a few seconds. When the meter is
- gone, RegClean is done. Press Exit to end RegClean.
