Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Nothing can be designed to deal with unknown programs and what that unknown program makers installation procedures write to the win drive.
This could be done if the operating system was locked down by the o/s maker and only o/s maker approved programs could be installed.
It is not about what is going on in the computer. The registry is a kind of configuration file, and in the more then 40 years I have been working with computers, I have always taken care that my configuration files were free of junk and well organized. It greatly reduced problems I can assure you, because if you feed a computer junk it will produce junk. The famous junk-in junk-out principle.
It may well be that third party software producers do things with the registry that were never anticipated by Microsoft, and are essentially wrong. But the again, had Microsoft build a registry maintenance utility, this wrong use had been discovered.
@Palcouk:
I assume there are rules on how to use the registry. It is not about the actual data, but about how it is written to the registry.
There are rules, but if the software maker doesn't abide by them..............
Thank you, exactly my point. If Microsoft had made a registry maintenance utility that checks the validity of the way the registry is used, and removes all incorrect junk, than those software makers would very soon have learned how to use the registry properly.
