ARPCache Viewer 1.01.02
ARPCache Viewer - What is ARPCache?
ARPCache is a secret, undocumented section of the registry used to store
information for Add/Remove Program items in the latest versions of Windows.
If you open
Add/Remove Programs in the newer versions of Windows, you will notice that certain information has
been added, such as, size, frequency of use, and last used on. This data is kept in binary files
in the ARPCache of the registry, which means that even if you know where it is in the registry, you
probably will not be able to read it. ARPCache Viewer deciphers the binary files and shows you what
is in each entry.
ARPCache is not ARP Cache
Some people have mistakenly confused this
ARPCache (which obviously stands for Add Remove Programs Cache) with the documented ARP (which
stands for Address Resolution Protocol) Cache of the Windows operating system. The documented ARP
has to do with resolving IP addresses across networks. This has nothing to do with the ARPCache in
the registry.
The Dirt Behind ARPCache
A problem with the ARPCache is that Windows
automatically adds to this storage area but it does not automatically remove items when they are
uninstalled. The ARPCache can be used to clean out the ARPCache or a good registry cleaner, like,
RegVac, can be used.
Freeware
The ARPCache Viewer is freeware and may be freely
distributed as long as it is distributed in its entirety. Please support free programs like this
