I have recently installed and used Registry Mechanic and decided to
accept to repair abut Four Hundred faults as I noticed I could reverse
the repair if there were any problems. I am delighted to say that there
were none but I noticed that the box for repairing shortcuts was not
ticked. On ticking it I was found to have about four hundred faults
again connected with shortcuts, can I safely repair these problems as I
did the first lot or should I know about something before I decide to
use the repair function again, I would be grateful for some advice as I
am new to Registry Mechanic.

Greetings,

First of all Microsoft doesn't support third party software, such as
Registry Mechanic. And before you attempt to fix the number of registry
problems, make sure you do a backup of your current Registry. You can do
this by following the steps below:

1. Start > RUN
2. Type in regedit
3. Once the Registry Editor is opened, go to File > Export
4. Choose a destination to export your whole registry

If you want to import your registry back, just follow the above steps,
however, this time instead of exporting, import the registry from the
destination your saved it.

If you want to do anything with the registry you must back up the
exsisting registry then proceed.

Have done thank you, even though Registry Mechanic creates a restore
point itself. I am most grateful indeed for your reply, thank you.

One of my favorite phrases: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". This applies
especially well with registry cleaners.
