SuperRegIgnoreList and UserAssist problems

laserfan

I have latest 180-460 and with Registry Cleaner set to one notch below "safest" it reports that all the UserAssist entries in the registry are "Errors" of the "High" severity? Why would this be? Using Didier Stevens' UserAssist utility just yesterday, it unencrpyted these entries for me and showed me, with this data in the Registry, what program I installed on a certain date and therefore what some "embedded null" entries were attributed to. So the data was VERY VALUABLE to me, and I want/need to retain it. Why consider them errors and delete as a matter of course?

Second question: If I right-click a Cleaner-found entry and select "Never show again" it seems truly to do that i.e. there's no way (that I can find) to change that in jv16. But I found where the Ignore list is stored, in the SuperRegIgnoreList.dat file. I tried manually editing that file to universally ignore UserAssist entries, for example by including an entry such as:

hkey_current_user\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\userassist\

then I tried:

hkey_current_user\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\userassist\*

but these didn't work--I guess jv16 needs every "ignore" key entry in specific detail. Is there a workaround, and if not, can I urgently request a tweak to jv16 that will allow me to turn this behavior OFF?

Thanks!

EDIT: OK I think I figured out that I needed the whole key in the SuperRegIgnoreList:

hkey_current_user\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\explorer\userassist\{75048700-ef1f-11d0-9888-006097deacf9}\count

But I'd still ask WHY? and request an easier way to tell jv16 PT to leave these alone... :(

You could add the word "userassist" to the "Ignore Words" tab of the Registry Cleaner for example...

I shoulda figured that out I guess, thanks! But I think I'll stick with my SuperRegIgnoreList editing for now as it gives me the level of control I want, and an easy view of everything being ignored.

I've also realized that all I have to do is look for the colons (:) in that file and trim to the key only, and jv16 does what I want.
