Registry Errors Found. How to Fix?

Hi,

My registry scan turned up 7 errors with MS OneCare Safety Scanner (Vista
version). The "fix" procedure apparently didn't fix anything because a
re-scan turned up the same errors. What should I do now?

Thanks,

Roy

What you should do now is the following

(1) Do not touch the Registry and leave those entries alone. They will do no harm.
(2) Do not touch the Registry and leave those entries alone. They will do no harm
(3) Do not touch the Registry and leave those entries alone. They will do no harm

Just leave them alone and throw scanner into the bin

Actually, I have reason to believe one or more of the errors may be doing
harm. That's why I ran the scan in the first place.
Five of the errors relate to file associations, and I think I may have a
file association problem (if still accessible, see thread "Can't save HTML
file" started on 09/16/2009 12:55 PM and/or "Unable to save HTML" file
started on 09/17/2009 12:51 PM ).

Please see my last post. My problem with HTML editing still hasn't been
solved, and I'm wondering if the registry errors may be related.
