Windows 10: Regdrop/RegSverHelper - recommended for Windows 10?

I'm copying over some portable Windows 10 programs to my new Windows 10 64-bit PC, and I've come across 2 registry helpers and I'm wondering if they are still useful or if they still work for Windows 10. They are:

Regdrop
RegSverHelper

Both are supposed to be an easy way to register or de-register ddl files.

"RegDrop is a component registration utility that allows you to simply drag and drop a component on it and RegDrop will register or unregister the component for you. This process is much easier than having to locate the REGSVR32 console application to register components. And more important, RegDrop gives real error messages as opposed to cryptic numeric result codes. This is very helpful in debugging self-registration problems in the files you are installing."

"RegSvrHelper is a very tiny utility. I wrote it out of frustration with having to use the command line for
registering DLLs thru RegSvr32. RegSvrHelper helps you to register/Un-register DLLs etc. It does not try to replace the RegSvr32 utility that comes with Windows, but simply 'helps' in using it by providing a file open dialog box to locate the DLL you want to register or un-register. Once you locate your DLL, you can click on the Register or Un-Register button to call RegSvr32 to do the actual registration on un-registration."


Being 64-bit now I'm wondering if these would cause issues if I used them or if they should still be ok? When I run RegSvrHelper it runs and a note says "[regsvr32 must be in your path for this to work - it usually is.]"

Recommended Case for 6650?

Hello Michaelp,

I found a great cover and belt clip for the Nokia 6650 on eBay. If you plug the following key-phrase into the eBay search-engine, you should see many cases and colors.



Faceplate Cover for Nokia 6650 Fold



BTW... Once you find the case, try plugging in the color Metallic Grey! It costs about $10.00, and melted my taste buds! The Belt Clip for it costs about $2.00.

 

Recommended Game Controller/Gamepad for Windows 10

Hi

Not a techy which will become glaringly obvious on reading my enquiry.... anyway, here goes....

Have a Toshiba Satellite L50-B-1NM running Windows 10 & have decided very spontaneously that I want to take up Gaming (using my Toshiba lap-top).

The games I am aiming to play, some via Emulation, some by on-line stream & others I have managed to download using MAMES & ROMS are predominately Classic Arcade Shooter games, examples of which are :-

GORF, Phoenix, Galaxian, Galaga

Now to my question.... I have already wasted £50 on a Mad Catz F.L.Y. 5 Joystick which I thought would be ideal for the games I wished to play.... as I hadn't factored in that this device is only compatible with Windows XP, Win 7 & Win 8... NOT unfortunately
& with no plans for enabling for Windows 10.

So...can you guys recommend, based on my fairly detiled briefing, the best, most compatible & user friendly (plug & play ?) Game Controller/Gamepad for me ??

Hope to hear soon

Regards

Stephen Walkden

 

You don't need either, junk.

 

Is there any particular reason it's "junk"? I've used them on Windows 7 so I know in fact they worked for me. The question was will they work correctly on Windows 10 or have things changed in Windows 10 that will cause issues if I use these? And why are they considered junk? Surely it's easier to just drop a dll and have it automatically get registered than using a command line?

And what about this statement - "egDrop gives real error messages as opposed to cryptic numeric result codes. This is very helpful in debugging self-registration problems in the files you are installing."?
