hey,
every month i install a lot many shareware softare(valid for few days trial)
but it is not possible to purchase all the software.
my problem is that each software leaves some entries in registry at
diffrent places(WONDER WHY).so every month it increses the size of registry
unnesscarly.it slows down my system and forces me to format and follow the long
and irriting procedures of installing win-xp.

can anybody help me!!!

even i do the same. i install a lot of shareware and try out a lot of stuff. ..some from cd's, while others i download.

use a good registry cleaner and compactor on a regular basis; say maybe weekly. CCLEANER from www.ccleaner.com is one such good freeware pc junk cleaner.

but along with it i also use ace utilities, tune-up utilities and system mechanic 6.
