Registry Cleaners
- Programming and Systems on The Technology Muse
- Editing the Windows Registry
- Registry Cleaners
I really cannot see the point of registry cleaners. The risk that you are putting your computer to when you run a program such as this is probably higher than the risks that you have entries that are giving you problems such as slowing your computers performance.
It is really easy to scan your registry and to back up the entries. If you have a problem with a particular program you will easily find what the registry entries are and you can find, delete or edit the entries and settings.

Type 12 Partition - HPA - Hidden Protected Area
12 Configuration/diagnostics partition
ID 12 (decimal 18) is used by Compaq for their configuration utility
partition. It is a FAT-compatible partition (about 6 MB) that boots into
their utilities, and can be added to a LILO menu as if it were MS-DOS.
(David C. Niemi) Stephen Collins reports a 12 MB partition with ID 12 on
a Compaq 7330T. Tigran A. Aivazian reports a 40 MB partition with ID 12
on a 64 MB Compaq Proliant 1600. ID 12 is used by the Compaq Contura to
denote its hibernation partition. (dan@fch.wimsey.bc.ca)

The Sidereel Scam
Coming soon.
Basically a scheme where webmasters are encouraged to get "subscribers" to join their sites on the hope that they can download the latest TV shows - when the owner does not have them to allow to downloaded.
