Programming's gone too soft anymore, that's all.

I used to program in BASIC, and even tweak programs in binary, back when I had an Apple ][. Those were the days. Now I'm terrified to even think about what's lurking in the registry.

I use a program called regcleaner to remove debris from the registry. It's a bit scary but I've let it rip on several dozen machines I'm responsible for, and it's never caused so much as a hiccup.

You can delete an old program folder, run regcleaner, and it will remove all obsolete references from the registry.
