so backing up registry really is a good advise

Yes it is,and I probally should of mentioned that.
I always assume everybody does things like that.

I always did have my own backup of the registry,as well as I liked the ability to undo,using the registry cleaner application itself,what the cleaner I mentioned removes.
I have never had any problems with this cleaner.
I always removed all it found.
The first run was over 150 entries.

I've never used the one that you said you like,but I have also heard bad reports on CCleaner.
I used a seperate app for the reg defrag,can't remember it's name now for sure,but I think it was called NTREGOPT.
It defragged the registry on reboot.

why not go to mac?

I enjoy linux very much,it is a OS that works very well,and have no reason to look any further.
Always thought of trying out MAC,before I found linux.
It supposedly hosts some of the best audio apps available.
My main reason for never getting the chance to try the MAC OS out was $$$$$$$.
