>                         Hello and Welcome!
><>------------------------------------------------------------------<>
>
>Welcome, my name is Simon Clausen and this is the first newsletter for the RegEdit.com : Windows Registry Guide mailing list! About
once a week, I plan to send an update of the new tips, tricks and tweaks and other general information from the RegEdit.com web
site.
>
>To get things started, this week I've included details of some of the latest tips to be added to the Windows Registry Guide. In
future issues I plan to write some articles on the registry, what it does, what it can do for you, and of course how to do it! So
stay tuned!
>
>I would really appreciate your comments, so if you got a minute, why not drop me a quick note at <mailto:sclausen@xxxxxxxxxxx> and
tell me what you would like to see in the newsletter.

>                      RegClean Download Problems
><>------------------------------------------------------------------<>
>
>You may have already heard of, and possible used the Microsoft RegClean utility, if you haven't then here is a little snippet of
what it does:
>
>"RegClean analyzes Windows Registry keys stored in a common location in the Windows Registry. It finds keys that contain erroneous
values, and after recording those entries in the Undo.Reg file, it removes them from the Windows Registry."
>
>But basically, it's a handy free utility from Microsoft to clean up some common registry problems.
>
>If you've recently tried to download this utility you may have noticed that the Microsoft FTP site has been un-available or busy.
So after searching around the Internet I've found a couple of alternative download points. For details please see the downloads page
