Just got Pocket Mechanic. It has a Registry Cleaning function that presents a list of items that could be deleted from the registry. My question is whether it is safe to just delete whatever it suggests, or whether this could lead to trouble. I like keeping my Axim nice and clean, but I'm wary of deleting things whose purpose I don't understand, and I know that the registry is a tricky area. I'd appreciate any advice on this.

Thanks.

If not completely certain the outcome of recommended changes to the registry on my PC, and the software doing the removing doesn't create a backup to use for recovery, I usually export the key (to create a copy) before allowing the software to remove it. I would assume that PM will allow you to back up WM 2003 registry keys. I have PHM RegEdit, which will backup the entire registry, but not selected keys. Better to use caution with the registry, though I've never had serious problems with any changes I've made on a PC.

I have deleted the recommended files without any problems. I do check and see why it thinks they need to be deleted. Usually, it is either something left over from an install that is not needed, or something left over after an uninstall.
