cande_300 Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Hi to all!I'd like to know if UTorrent saves any entrys in the Registry.I've already lokkes in the FAQ section but all i found was that UTorrent saved its configuration Files in a Directory like .../Application Data/... . What I want ot know ,however, is if UTorrent places some entries in the Registry after I delete it. I want to keep my registry clean and I didn't asociated the .torrent Files with utorrent. Is there anything else UTorrent writes in the Registry ?Thanks to for the Help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackLion Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 heh. firstly, one or two empty registry entries wont bring down your Windows installation. You prolly have at least a few there now. Secondly, rest easy. µTorrent dosent place anything in the registry at all. No worries, just use it and enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MechR Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 I hear it does make a few registry entries... see this post. As I understand, they come from associating .torrent files with utorrent, or from setting it to launch on startup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackLion Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 do those really count? I mean if he installs another client (and you KNOW he will) and associates it with .torrent.........I like a clean registry as well but really........

SledgeDG Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 i dont associate w/ torrents due to an unfortunate bug in opera that makes me have to manually open torrentsWhat unfortunate bug? what version of Opera?I run Opera 8.10 and it associates just fine with torrents?!?Make sure you set the MIME-Type "application/x-bittorrent" correctly and tell Opera what to do with it and you should be all setand back to topic: these registry entries are not done by utorrent but by windows itself-DG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xilon Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 pfft just use Firefox, no problems there (now ) and isn't something like Opera 9 Preview out?As for registry keys... search for them? I always search for stuff through regedit if I want to get rid of something completely. You'll probably only find the standard things such as .torrent associations, recently userd files, startup keys, shortcuts and all that crap that comes standard with using Windows.
