It finds a lot of entries in the HKCR section relating to exe and dll files that are still present. Supposedly it's safe to remove these entries (green indicator). Can this be right?

@BVV
Thant's what I am wondering myself about too. Suddenly there are a lot of supposedly safe entrys that I don't dare to erase

I e-mailed the guy who wrote the program about this subject two days ago. He asked for some examples, so I sent him a screenshot. If he has an explanation (and if he actually answers), I'll let you know.

Thanks BVV...AS they say "Watch this space"

Laz · Jan 29, 2003

Yeah thx m8, I've not used it as yet. Maybe just as well!

BVV & Others:
Those entries are mainly used by Windows to create the list of programs for the Open With menu (ie. the menu you'll see when you double click a file of an unkown file type).

If you remove those keys with the PT you will just have a few more programs in the Open With menu, that's all. But I did change the scan procedure a bit (in 1.3 Beta, you can get it from my forums at jv16.org) so it doesn't add any DLL files to the Open With menu.

So, it's really up to you, those keys don't really do much but they are not harming anything either. Some people might want to remove those keys, I didn't remove mine.

I didn't expect to get a reply here, but thanks all the same. This will help many more users of the program.

Good to know these keys are more or less useless, I'll remove them.
