Clean It Time

I don’t want to change anything – I know this can be disasterous if a person doesn’t know what they are doing in the registry. I just want to look at all the activity that has been made on the computer – including deleted stuff and chat room stuff as well. I think this is the way to do that. If there is a different way, please let me know what that might be.

Getting into the Windows Registry is very simple. From the Start Menu, select "Run" (or press the [Windows Logo Key] + [R]) and type in "regedit" (without the quotes), press [Enter].

The Registry provides much information about the stuff in your computer, but I think this is not the way to monitor what all activities that have taken place in your computer. One needs to have very advanced knowledge about the Registry to do the right thing in there and get the right information.

For example, chat room stuff are not stored in any part of the registry, simply because it is too trivial and large to be stored there. Registry is a place for critical system and program settings to be stored.

Deleted stuff can be viewed and maybe recovered using file recovery utilities, for example. Your chat history is accessible from right inside the messenger software, in most cases.
