It wouldn't hurt to look in some Windows .ini files for a reference to it as that's a way some apps can revive themselves even if they're gone, the two files to check would be:
* C:\Windows\System.ini
* C:\Windows\Win.ini

I'll have a look into this.
Note that Internet Explorer has been known to do this also when using its own built-in tool for deleting the Temporary Internet Files. I don't know if it was a previous bug in IE or not or if it has been fixed, however it used to periodically happen to me using an online virus scanner and it was happening before my usage of CCleaner.

The problem with registry cleaners is you have to make a self-determination on your own and investigate what they want to remove. It's pretty much impossible to say if something is safe to delete for instance; what you've posted has allot of these: "Useless empty key" However that isn't always the case, and removing something that an installed application needs can very easily break it. You need to open RegEdit and look at those keys to see if they contain anything. If you're unsure about removing keys ignore them either on your own or tell the registry cleaner to ignore them, ignoring them won't cause any harm.
However, if an application has been removed that's another story and the entries are "generally safe to remove" if you know what you're doing. Also if the uninstall program was sloppy and didn't remove them (many are), this is often common if the application created keys after it was launched and unfortunately the uninstaller wouldn't know about them if it doesn't include a routine to completely remove all registry data written by the application.
Whatever you choose create a backup with RegSupreme, and as an extra precaution create a restore point with System Restore which backs up the registry if you're running WinXP.

I give some examples: "HKCR\CCListView.cItemGroup"
The bad thing with that entry is CCleaner is detecting one of it's own components.
The current fix is via Dial-a-fix as seen here:

You may want to join this thread in helping the CCleaner developer fix it:

I could have never imagined that a skyscraper made of steel and concrete anchored to solid bedrock designed to stand for a century or more could actually be so fragile.
It matters what they're designed to take. For instance the planes that struck it weren't even made when the WTC was built, therefore there couldn't have ever been anyway to know how big of a plane would exist in the future and what to build the the WTC to withstand the brunt of.
Anyways we all already know it was because of the fire that weakend the steel supports according to news reports over the last five years which caused them to collapse.
---------
Probably the most shocking image I still have in my head about that day was seeing people jump from the building to escape the fire. One in particular is I still remember the colour of the shirt and tie a man was wearing as the news camera zoomed in on him falling after jumping from the building.

i wondor if they had to alter it at all.
Requires nothing special and only a few seconds via a wave editor. For instance the open source Audacity can reverse songs.

The faster they spin the less chance that heat can build up on the CD and trigger a chemical reaction with the laser.
Some of that stuff you said seems way out there dude.
When writing a CD-R using the maximum speed it isn't a very good ideal because it introduces more errors. My current thinking is going over 8X speed is too fast, and thus I don't. Also if using s**t quality discs like all discs made by CMC there isn't any speed that will help.

Andavari, could it be the the Kyoto Protocol?
It is approved by almost the whole world, with a few notable exceptions such as USA.
Yeah that's it! And I think the USA should go along with it, but I guess those road beasts gas guzzlers called SUV's are just more important than clean air.
-
The scientists can talk and debate about it, but what really needs to take place is for all countries to comply, and the United States isn't exactly helping matters with the annual billions of pollutant tonage we put into the atmosphere. Also poor third-world countries will probably never comply or be able to comply for the need/want of modern conveniences that highly developed countries take for granted daily, e.g.; running water, electricity, etc.
Some interesting reading on Wikipedia is the Clean Air Act and the Clean Skies Act. I can't remember the name of an anti-pollution/anti-greenhouse program that I think the Japanese had initially started and other countries are following suit, but the United States refused to accept. One quick solution however is to rid ourselves of gas guzzling vehicles, conventual "easy ways" of producing power by stripping it from the Earth, etc., and eventually the cease of usage of fossil fuels.
And if people can't figure out how start being planetary conservationist to help maintain the planet governments might as well contract a company to start building those atmospheric machines they fantasize about putting on Mars to make oxygen - but here on Earth do it with a twist for removing the pollutants, and subsequently wait a good 1,000 or more years for them to show any appreciable results.

my computers crap and it still boots around 15-25 secs!
Yeah but it's also up to the amount of RAM you have installed, I think. More RAM installed requires a little longer boot time, someone correct me if I'm wrong on this.

Run a Command Prompt, then type in:
Netstat -b
Netstat -o
for other Netstat options type in: Netstat /?

I never thought of the GUI not appearing to stump someone so I updated the F.A.Q. portion of that guide to state just that.

why mp3? don't you like lossless?
I like FLAC, and love WavPack for lossless archiving. But good ole LAME MP3 encodings at -V2 --vbrnew ("old --preset fast stardard") are supported in just about anything including OSes, and with hardware without having to use some firmware hacks, etc., and LAME at the -V2 --vbrnew setting is transparent to my ears.

You could always try the icon fixes on http://www.kellys-korner-xp.com/xp_tweaks.htm just search for icon in your browser on that site, there's a few fixes.

TigerDirect.com you can find some good prices though.
Just don't buy any of their PC's off of television, we did and it was a royal p.o.s that got sent back the very day it was received.

Perhaps HijackThis can remove it on reboot, here's how to try:
- Enable the view of hidden and system files.
- Load HijackThis then the click button 'Open Misc Tools section', then click 'Delete a file on reboot...'
- Browse to the file to select it, when prompted by HijackThis to reboot go ahead and allow it to restart Windows.
- Enable the view of hidden and system files.

P.S. .. just wondering maybe if it's maybe my AntiVir antivirus preventing this ticker's installtion to go through somehow.. BUT - i strongly doubt it
It could be a component of it is flagged by Avira AntiVir or an installed anti-spyware program. One way to find out is to look at your real-time/guard scan logs. Or upload the Yahoo Ticker setup file to http://virusscan.jotti.org/ and let multiple av's scan the file.

Deltree.exe removes all files and subdirectories subordinate to the directory you are deleting regardless of any attributes.
If followed correctly, this really ought to work...
Alright, and yeah it has to be used correctly as deltree has the potential to really f*** stuff up in MS-DOS mode if typed in incorrectly!
About the only other thing I can think of would be to create a new empty text document, or any new empty document for that matter, then delete it so that it gets sent to the recyle bin, then run the actual Disk Cleanup program included with Win98.

What could Windows be like a few years from now:
A DRM ridden whore, that still has exploits galour.
Although I must state that "what will Windows be like a few years from now" and my answer would be not on any computer of mine. WinXP is the Windows finale for me as I hate more about Windows than I like each and everyday - hence the reason I recently re-did my whole audio CD collection in MP3 format for future support with anything and it's just a precursor to me preparing to dump Windows.
-
Maybe the file has attributes that must be removed first.
I have no ideal if this will work or not since you've tried what Tony already suggested.
- Open Notepad.
- Copy and paste the following text into the empty Notepad window:
attrib /s -r -h -s "C:\Recycled\*.*"
del /s "C:\Recycled\*.*"
deltree "C:\Recycled\*.*"
exit - Now save to a document in C:\ the root directory named (use the quotation marks): "C:\clean.bat"
- Restart in MS-DOS mode.
- At the C:\> prompt type in C:\clean.bat
Windows will then attempt to remove any attributes of any and all files stored within the Recycle Bin, then it will attempt to delete all contents of the Recycle Bin, and finally Windows will be loaded.
- Open Notepad.

Google can also track the music you listen to on your PC but you have to choose to use it.
Allot of audio/media players also have the funtionality built-in with one example being AOL's Winamp, etc., however in Winamp if my memory is serving me correctly it's on by default and must be turned off.

or turn on D.E.P. for ALL programs and settings
I had completely forgotten about it, D.E.P. that is. I set it to protect All programs however doing so means I'll have to keep in mind if an app doesn't run to remember my D.E.P. settings.

Sad news to hear. I was one of his many fans, and loved watching his television shows.
So how can I determine if I need this?

Don't know, but Dell is very proprietary so I'd check there support/updates page first. If you input your Dell service tag that's on the PC somewhere as sticker onto their website form it will list mostly updates for your system (with a few oddballs thrown in the mix that aren't for your system), you however have to know what to choose download-wise which can easily be helped by looking in the Device Manager in Windows to see what your hardware is called and such.
