I'm troubleshooting errors in my registry -- default startup program
controls (among others) for programs that are no longer installed on
the machine.
I am not comfortable editing the registry file myself in regedit (I
took a good hard look, but it's more than I'm up for), and searched in
the Help Center, which told me to use "registry scan", however that
doesn't seem to be a program/option anywhere on my pc. Nor is it
anything that comes up on the microsoft website when I search for help
there.
Where can I find registry scan? I am not interested in purchasing
Registry Mechanic or othersuch -- I don't feel it should be necessary
for me to purchase third party software to correct incorrect
de-installations, especially when it is for major software packages
that come bundled with the pc. (e.g., aim.exe pernicious little ah heck
that it is.)
