RegScanner, a free Windows utility, makes it easier to find registry keys and make quick edits to them. After finding the Registry values, you can easily jump to the right value in RegEdit, simply by double-clicking the desired Registry item. You can also export the found Registry values into a .reg file that can be used in RegEdit.

RegScanner can also find Registry values by data length, value type ,by modified date of the key and unicode string located inside a binary value. While scanning the Registry, RegScanner display the current scanned Registry key, as opposed to RegEdit.

It has been quite sometime something ever posted here in my10sen.com. Just to share with you all, my father passed away last week on 21st january 2008 caused by cancer. However life must move on. On my previous post I wrote about Nlite on how to slim down your windows xp setup while slipstream the system driver into windows installation and create unattended installation for your Windows Xp pc.


Vlite is a tool for customizing the Windows Vista installation before actually installing it. You can install hotfix, language pack and driver integration and reduce the installation files by removing unnecessary component from windows vista. Same features from nlite, vlite also let you create unattended setup cd, and you split/merge Vista installation CDs.

Windows Vista from Microsoft takes a lot of resources vLite provides you with an easy removal of the unwanted components in order to make Vista run faster and to your liking. This tool doesn’t use any kind of hacking, all files and registry entries are protected as they would be if you install the unedited version only with the changes you select.

It’s not a tool for beginners, as many of the changes can’t be undone once the OS is in place, but for those who find themselves re-installing Vista frequently, it’s certainly a useful utility. vLite is a free download for Windows Vista only.

Windows Vista is packed with cool eye candy, handy new features, and improved security. But there’s a catch! many new Vista users are paying for operating system that decreased performance compared to Windows XP. Performance issues are the most common complaint to users that just installed Vista or bought a new Vista machine, it shows that the concerns are valid.



The best way to make Vista run more like XP is to make Vista more like XP. Turning off the fancy Aero interface, turning off the sidebar, and otherwise disabling the features that make Vista look and feel unique will help speed up performance. But for most of us, that’s not exactly the solution we were looking for. Try to identify the source that’s choking up your resource.The first step in fixing a problem is to find out exactly what’s broken. Vista includes a number of tools that help you pinpoint the cause of performance problems.

Vista, like its business-oriented predecessors (XP Professional, Windows 2000, and NT Workstation), includes a performance monitoring tool that allows you to do detailed monitoring of various counters relating to both software and hardware components.You’ll find the tool under a new name, Reliability And Performance Monitor, on the Administrative Tools menu in Control Panel. The screen above shows the Performance Monitor, monitoring percentage Processor Time and Memory Pages/Second.

We have seen many utilities software offering registry cleaners as one of the main features. But what do registry cleaners can really accomplish? some of them claim to reduce the size of the registry and remove orphaned entries to speed up Windows. Removing orphaned entries will reduce the size but when today’s hard drives have gigabytes of free space, saving a few megabytes wont change the world.


Some said it is to speedup your system, how fast can it be? The reason they can’t tell you how much faster your system will run is because the size of the registry has nothing to do with the speed at which your machine operates. The .ini files are flat text files, which require sequential searching. Registry files are database files, complete with indexing. If the index is up to date the system rebuilds it after each change so it probably makes no difference.

Other registry cleaners say they’ll remove invalid registry entries that can cause errors in other installed programs. Programs keep registry entries in their own keys and rarely reference keys written by other programs. They also include an uninstall routine that deletes the entries when you remove the program. However, the system will never reference the data that they leave behind.

Some claim that they correct problems with Windows crashes and error messages. But have you seen windows crashes and error messages caused by registry? Unless you purposely made mistakes in the registry. Some registry cleaners say they remove entries pointing to nonexisting files that are invalid and require deletion. If a registry entry points to a file that’s no longer present, of course you can delete them. However, if an entry points to something that doesn’t exist, then the system will never use it. Do you delete every unused file on your computer?
