reg cleaner gui

bobbyjcy

running english on XPSP3 After cleaning w/ structured list a few keys remain undeletable. That's not the issue, I now know to change permissions and make them deletable. But, I cannot highlight or select a single remaining key to access regedit or access the context menu. Why no selection box on the left? From the toolbar I can select all or none, but can do nothing with an individual listing.

With the current structured list, you can select/deselect lines using Ctrl+click (for example; Shift+click on different lines also does what one would expect).

jv16 has said elsewhere that the check boxes will be there in the next release ... later this week ...

ctrl+click or shift+click does nothing after a scan with leftover entries on my machine

Were they "leftover" from a Select all-->Fix or Delete, which did not clear the whole list?

I'm asking to see what I need to do to make it happen on my machine ...

left over from select all-fix, then delete you won't duplicate this unless you have reg entries obsolete and undeletable.

I just found something else-- I uninstalled iolo systems system mechanic a while back-never liked it or trusted it. Finally scanning for leftovers with finder. Now I have a list. Going thru the list I'm used to clicking on an entry to highlight it and read the details in the pane above. Now, clicking auto selects the checkbox also. Not my intention. But hear this--I click the entry above and above that, (or below) For a second that entry's info is displayed, then as if a correction, in the pane above, I see info from the first entry I clicked on. If I did not catch this, I would have deleted entries wrongly. It was showing me wrong info-- that every key was the one I highlighted first. I have been using jv16 since 2004 with no problems. I almost just accidentally messed up my system because the info I'm looking at is incorrect? I hope you understand this. I just now verified this behavior. Reg find 2009, displayed list. I click an entry and the selection box is checked. I click the entry above and the orig entry stays hilited because its checked (which I did not want or do) The pane above displays the correct info for a second, then displays the info of the first entry I clicked. And on and on In all cases, pane displays wrong data. i"m going back to 2007 for awhile.

I'm sorry but I for one can't understand what seems to be the problem.

If you are using the Registry Finder and when you click a line it gets selected automatically (i.e. the box is checked), then you must have the Full Row Select feature enabled. You can disable this from Settings > Advanced. With the setting disabled, clicking a line does not automatically select it (i.e. put the tick to the check box).

I was just saying that the information pane is showing the details for the same entry no matter what I do. However, this morning, after cleaning up my system, running some scans, and rebooting, the application seems to be working normally once again. In the future, I will make sure the problem persists for a few days before posting the symptoms as a problem. thank you all for your help.
