Registry Scanner Poll

[rikytik]

What is killing my system is most of the registry scanners are killing something called fax.msi. When I reboot my fax program is broken, but guess what? It's an HP file that gets installed with the HP 1300 series all in one printers. It wasn't on the XP install disk. So, everything is cool.

I use Registry Clean Expert first, then I go back with System Mechanic 5 to get any residual stuff...
You should be able to exclude any stuff permanently from being "scanned" in most of these types of programs, so you don't have to keep "re-installing" something that the registry cleaner deleted....
