Duplicate Autoruns entries

Greetings, running Autoruns I notice there are lots of duplicate entries.
ie: DimsJob.dll , mcupdate.exe and gazillions more.
Can I safely dump ALL the duplicate entries?
Thanks...vm

have you downloaded easy cleaner yet?if so what happened? graham

easy cleaner was never really released for Vista or W7 and has not been updated in years. I also read one review that said the duplicate file finder can mess up your system if you allow it to delete duplicate files; there are very good reasons to have identical files in different folders. So if you choose to use it in W7 then you might look over the results but I wouldn't let it delete dup files.

vmars, autoruns has many tabs, could you post a screen shot of the full autoruns window showing what you say is duplicated?

Thanks for the warning.
Ok, I will take a snap shot asap.
But right now I am trying to get my printer (hp D1341) running on
Belkin (USB) wireless Router, for my two laptops.

When you right click on a file do you have two "Send To" menu options? Because that is what context menu's are.

I second what Shintaro said. If you see duplicate "Send To"s in the context menu when you right-click then yeah it's an issue but if not then it likely is one Send To when you right-click on a particular thing and the other when you shift+right-click (this gives an extended "Sent To" list of choices). I have duplicates of those all over Autoruns but I don't see dups in my context menus.
