Overview
Registry Trash Keys Finder (TrashReg) is an advanced Registry cleaning tool. The main function of RTKF is to allow the removal of unnecessary keys from the Windows Registry. Many programs leave keys in the Registry, even after programs removal using an uninstallation facility provided with the programs themselves. RTKF allows you to decide whether to delete or leave the keys found.
An additional effect (it may be the main aim for some users) of removal of these keys is the "revival" of some programs trial versions after the initial trial period has expired.
The program RTKF is not a crack
but is an addition to other serious
Registry cleaning software.
No breach of software license agreement of the programms in use which remains
are found by TrashReg takes place:
nothing is patched
into EXE files and their action is not traced by special spies
. I do not distribute any registration keys, and moreover one may not know anything about trial versions of any programs, which for their needs could write something hiddenly. So as the RTKF user you simply clean some trash from your computer Registry.
Reviews
The oldest review of TrashReg was made by Softoogle editors a couple years ago. You can find this review here.
The team of the 3df2 web site has made a good review of Registry Trash Keys Finder and call it the most promising in its class
. You can read the full review here.
System Requirements
Registry Trash Keys Finder requires a PC running Windows 95/98/ME/NT4/2000/XP/2003 or higher. The program expects minimum of 16MB memory and about 1 MB of free hard disk space. To use this program the VB6 run time files must be installed on your computer. If you do not have these files (usually it may happen on systems with Windows9x or WindowsNT4 installed) you can obtain them from this link. When the file has been downloaded you have to run it on your PC to install the VB run time files.
What's new in this version (12/30/2007):
- Visual Basic 6 compiler now used for better compatibility
with the latest Windows versions (Win2003, Vista, etc)
- Added quick view panel for more comfortable keys' preview
- F2 command (Save keys' content) now shows standard
"Select file" dialog
- Program menus were logically rearranged
- Added German help file (thanks to Dirky)
- Added search for NTkrnl Protector 0.1+ keys
- Added search for Enigma Protector 1.20+ keys
- Added search for ActiveMark v.6x keys (Full version only)
- Added "Back to Default" button in "Program Options" dialog
- Bugfix: search for NULL keys skipped keys if they were found
directly under Registry root keys
- Made a lot of corrections in many search routines
and important parts of TrashReg program code

Donation
Actually there are two different versions of Registry Trash Keys Finder. The first one is Freeware version that can be freely downloaded from my website or from other software download sites. The second one is Full version. There are just a few important additional searches not fully implemented in the Freeware version. Full version is not avaiable for free downloading and at the moment it is very close to DonationWare software.
"What is a DonationWare?"
A DonationWare is software that has no fixed price. You give to the author what you think his software is worth.
"OK. So why should I pay?"
I will give you a few reasons, you may find others:
- You want to encourage me. I must admit that I sometimes wonder why I'm spending hours adding a feature which I'll never use. Or why I'm translating every version into English. There are several reasons, and money is one of them. (Well, if it were the only one, I would have stopped developing a long time ago...)
- You think it's fair that I get money for my work
- I have expenses for developing and distributing RTKF: backup CD-ROM's, domain name, phone internet access, ink, paper, bread and butter, coffee and a lot of Russian Vodka (of course it's a joke:-))...
- You use Registry Trash Keys Finder successfully. Then I help you to save some money. So I deserve some, too ;-)
- And at last, you really want to be an owner of the Full version of RTKF. There are just a few important additional searches not implemented in the Freeware version.
