Do you have duplicated registry keys, values or data? What exactly are they?

Why would you want to delete them?

NO...there is a reason for them. Don't ask why. Just bloody well

leave them alone. If you delete them, then you will end up with

an unbootable friggin mess.

At your peril.
 
if you feel a need to

reconcile the registry

keys to the file system



then you might try a

freeware called eusing.



btw: make a system

restore point before

you do the above.

Eusing is not for amateurs.



Also, ERUNT is highly recommended, better, safer and

more reliable than System Restore for the registry - IMHO

Based on your naieve question, you have NO BUSINESS doing *anything* in the

registry. There are supposed to be duplicate entries.

Yes you can but use Ccleaner to do it for you because that way you don't

have to make subjective judgments.







The latest version (





2.30.1130)



is very good indeed.

I agree with you: Let an automatic process do the damage all by itself. What

a great way to go!
