Program runs and seems to install ok. I like the Undo Changes Center concept, haven’t tried it yet. No faster than Regedit. Very happy to find it has a registry Search and Replace feature, although I had to read the User’s Guide to find it. I like that I can sort the search results list by clicking the different column headings.

Other aspects are very confusing to me. Did it install a startup manager that overrides other(s) already on my system? Will this start with Windows? I see no options to control these. Express Check ran when I started the program, THANKS for the option to disable this! It told me I have 1037 useless files, with an option to “Run the Scan”. Will my files be deleted if I Run the Scan, or will it list them and give me the option to delete each one, or maybe select by folder structure? It already scanned to be able tell me I have so many useless files, so I don’t know what “Run the Scan” will do.

Same for Startup Applications. It says 5 can be optimized, and again I can “Run the Scan”. What does “Optimized” mean? Will they be disabled? Added to some delayed startup list with more services added to manage that? Do I get to chose what happens? If I use Win 10’s Programs and Features app, will I see the same programs being enabled or disabled, or does this use some other way to manage the list?

Maybe, instead of “Run the Scan” the buttons can say “Show Details”? This gave me a bad first impression. The User’s Manual clears up some of this, and shows a good deal of thought went into this program. After Ashampoo WinOptimizer, Glary Utilities, Kerish Doctor, Win Utilities, Advanced System Care and a few others, I’m wary of programs like this. There is a high potential to make assumptions and utterly destroy system functionality and render programs unusable, and I might not see the impact of this for several weeks or months (I have MANY programs for music creation, music lessons, video/photo/graphics editing, games, book readers, protecting and managing my PC, etc., and some only get used once in a while).

So thanks to SOS and ChemTable. RegOrganizer is worth keeping for the Search and Replace feature, and after testing and using it, I may be able to use it instead of some of my other programs. My recommendation for ChemTable: sit down with a person who never used RegOrganizer, and see what they think – no coaching, just real first impressions and what it takes for them to figure out what is safe and how to use the program.
