Hello:
I've spent some time trying to identify a dependable and safe registry editor, and had hoped to be able to use this one.
I was orginally impressed because it had a search function. But unfortunately this is not the same as a results filter. The analysis has to be rerun with each new search term. There are other annoyances and problems as well
But most unfortunately, I've come across some errors which are dealbreakers for me. See note below. Not only does the search not present the found result, it proposes to delete all good key values as well. This is unacceptable, and makes the product simply unfit for use.

BUT CRITICAL ERROR: SELECTS KEY FOR DELETION, INCLUDING GOOD VALUES.
In re-running using search term "roxio", identified 38 total errors (vs 1,822 with Registry Clean Expert). In the list of errors, it actually MISSED the key value name with the "roxio" contents, and picked up four others for deletion, none of which had anything to do with 'roxio':
------------------------------------------------------
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WinISO\Reopen\1 : \\Mpx\srcdsks\-- eval\Symantec.Ghost.Solution.Suite.2.5-NoPE\tt\np-sgs25.iso
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WinISO\Reopen\2 : U:\OWLLSZ03A TEST.ISO
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WinISO\Reopen\3 : U:\temp\Symantec.Norton.Systemworks.Premier.2006-HOTiSO\CD1\tt\h-nsp06a.bin
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WinISO\Reopen\4 : U:\temp\Super norton systemworks 2005\tt\Super norton systemworks 2005.iso
------------------------------------------------------
The key value it missed was '0', which had the actual roxio entry:
------------------------------------------------------
Value name: 0
Value data: T:\dloads\DLOADS2 (semi-sorted)\Multimedia Tools\Video\Roxio Video Pack\Roxio VideoPack 5.00.132-5.iso
------------------------------------------------------
Too many problems with this registry editor -- DO NOT USE. Post note back to Macecraft forums.
