Honestly, you could dump ALL of those, if you wanted. Only you know which of them you "need." You could run HijackThis and remove them all and try that for a bit and see if you miss any of the functionality. If you do miss some functionality, just restore the ones you want to keep.....

You may want to check out Black Viper's Site, as he is the guru when it comes to running only the bare necessities.

Happy Christmas :)

Downloading and running ccleaner should help too! Run the registy cleaner several times until it finds no issues!

If you do run a registry cleaner, make sure you back up the registry before doing so - or you might end up wishing you had.
CCleaner should still give you the option to back up before removing issues.

I have used ccleaner on hundereds of computers (I recycle and repair machines for a living) and have not had a single problem with the ccleaner registry cleaner and have never bothered backing up what it removes!

Perhaps backing it up might be an idea if you are unfamiliar with ccleaner tho!

Another good way to backup your registry is to go into regedit then hit export. This works for XP, Vista, and Windows 7.

Or any other registry cleaner for that matter.

Anybody who blindly clicks "fix" (on any tool) is asking for trouble :)

I trust that you know what you are doing, but I doubt you fire up each and every program on a compy after cleaning the registry.

I use CCleaner too - mostly after uninstalling software to catch the remnants - but I (and probably you as well) pay close attention to what it finds and I uncheck a couple of the default settings (missing shared .dlls springs to mind).

-- I generally recommend ERUNT to back up the registry - Free and easy to use.

I will have to take a look at ERUNT! :)

ERUNT was recommended to me years ago as a replacement for System Restore - Great little tool. Many malware forums use it to back up registry before digging around.

-- I've kinda re-evaluated my position on registry cleaners. I think that as long as one knows what he is doing, there should be no problem. It's the average user I worry about who will run this and have it remove 1000 items without looking and then a few days later be all confused when Media Center or Office start misbehaving....

Lol, know what you mean there mate! We have customers that keep coming back after having downloaded all kinds of rubbish. Mind you, we always get their systems sorted! ;)
