I was having some trouble with not-fully-uninstalled software and started trying out jv16 PT 2009 today, seeing it highly recommended by
http://www.theeldergeek.com/registry_edits.htm
Still learning my way around the software, but already have some comments about its GUI (on XP SP3 if that matters):
1) Idiosyncratic behavior of vertical scroll bars
For instance:
Registry Manager: Add/Remove menu
click in the vertical scroll bar in area below or above the slider
most of the time that moves up or down by one screen as it should
occasionally (especially if you double-click relatively quickly in the scroll bar) the slider acts as if your mouse button was stuck, and quickly scrolls all the way up or down
I actually thought my mouse button was stuck, but tried the same exercise in another open program (Acrobat Reader, for the Handbook), and things worked as they should.
I might be something of a special case, as there are actually 4 "mice" attached to my ThinkPad: trackpoint, trackpad, usb mouse and bluetooth mouse. But still, don't have this problem in any other program.
2) Settings Tool
I hate the "autoscroll" of the various settings across the top. We've not chosen to use OSX, after all. Why not simply use a bog-standard horizontal scroll bar under the items when it's needed?
I don't mean to seem overly negative, but wanted to point out some personal turn-offs so you can correct them if you see fit.
I am very much attracted by the active support for this program:
* frequent new releases
* active user community
* interesting posts such as your new 35-way registry cleaner shootout
Thanks,
Frank
