Recover Ignored Entries in System Internals Search

SUMMARY: Fix errors previously ignored when doing system internals searches with Spybot Search and Destroy.


 

Whenever you perform a system internals search in Spybot Search and Destroy to look for registry entries containing incorrect application paths, shortcuts pointing to software that has already been uninstalled, etc., you have the option of ignoring certain entries so they no longer appear. If you later want to view a list of such entries and possibly stop ignoring an entry that you feel needs to be fixed, do the following:

1. Click "Mode", selecting "Advanced Mode".

2. Click "Settings" in the left pane.

3. Click "Ignore System Internals" in the right pane.

4. A list of ignored entries appears. To remove an ignored (excluded) entry so it will be found the next time you perform a system internals such, right-click on an entry and select "Remove from exclude list". Repeat as desired.
