CCleaner puts a backup registry files of the changes it commited to the registry in the a file located in the "My Documents" folder.
Open "My Documents" there you will find the .reg file, you just double-click it and it will ask to merge into the registry.

My question is related. I have two hard drives, C & G. When I ran the Ccleaner, it only did the C drive. How do I get it to do the G drive too?

As far as I know, the operating system can only have one temporary folder. The temporary folder is defined in the %TMP% and %TEMP% environment variables. The other temp folder you have on G: might not be a *real* temp folder.

Myth - "The Windows XP Firewall is not good enough because it lacks outbound filtering."
See here for an explanation.
Yeah, the Windows Firewall cannot compare with good firewalls such as iptables, but it comes with Windows, and it doesn't run any extra processes, its not bloated, so thats what I use.
-
I guess CCleaner determines the temporary file folder by using the %TMP% or %TEMP% environmental variable.
-
Sounds very strange...

ZoneAlarm has a free edition of their firewall too.
Personally I use the default Windows Firewall, but if I used anything else, it would be "PktFilter".

thanks i will give it a go
as for my spelling SORRY but saying things like what you did about me spelling BIOS just make me not want to bother with you lot but thanks anyway
No offense was intended. This reply, shows that you apparently are able to write English properly or at least decently. You have to realize if you want an helpful reply to a post, you have to post so people understand you and clearly explain what is the problem in a way people understand you in order for them to be able to help you. When you are saying "biso" instead of "BIOS", it gets confusing.

When I click on it, it opens Mozilla Firefox in another tab.

Yes, they are a bit far out.
Yes, it is understandable that he has to pay for bandwidth. Though he have ads on the website too, and is accepting donations.
You're right about giving someone something for free, shouldn't cost the giver anything either.

Experimental in registry cleaner?
Sounds risky...

-
Yes, CCleaner includes some basic registry cleaning functionality.

Prefetch shouldn't be cleaned often. It can be good to clean it once in a while, but I don't think it is something that should be cleaned often.

Freeware is a gift.
The giver offers it on their terms ... and why shouldn't they, it's their property.
The receiver, only has two options ... accept or decline, and in either case, should do so graciously.
Giving on terms is still giving?
So if I give you 50$ on the terms, that you give me 100$, is it still giving?
If I give you a Big Mac, on the condition that you give me your first born son, is it still giving?

Today a new version of the free, open source office suite Openoffice.org got released.
It can read and write documents from Microsoft Office, and furthermore supports the OpenDocument Format (ODF) which is an ISO standard. It also exports to PDF and many other formats.
Get it at www.openoffice.org while its still fresh.

Store the drive in a safe place. I keep my 160GB in a firesafe.
Yupp, with an strong cascade encrypted disk image cleverly stored steganographically on a fully encrypted partition. In a bullet-proof, burglar-resistant, fire-resistant, air-tight, water-proof, radiation-shielded multi-factor authentication safe - made of space-grade metal alloys. Concealed under the floor or in the wall of a secret vault/strong-room filled with extremely lethal VX gas, located in the center of a secret floor located at the bottom of steel-reinforced secret underground bomb-proof facility located in the desert, under a lake or under a mountain of an obscure isolated private island heavily guarded 24/7 by redundant security systems incorporating CCTV, radar, sonar, satellite, tripwires, lasers, motion-detectors, vibration-detectors, sound-detectors, smoke-detectors, heat-detectors, nightvision, infra-red sensors and heavily armed security guards. Add some turrets and SAM-sites too... and sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads.
Though if an underground facility on a private island isn't exactly what you're looking for, then perhaps an underwater base on the bottom of the Mariana Trench at 10911 meters depth would be something?
Or perhaps something similar but on a black-coated stealth space station equipped with thermonuclear warheads, hidden far away in deep space?

go to the f-secure web site
i also recomend that if you want a firewall/antivirus/spyware removal/ program for keeps you should buy it...nothing in life is free..well except ccleaner
You would pay for Norton Antivirus? You would pay for Panda Antivirus?
avast!, AVG Free, Avira, etc probably better than most if not all paid antivirus software.
CCleaner is only free as in beer, you cannot inspect its source code and inner workings, you cannot modify it, etc.
Since the download page says "The following builds are for system admins and advanced users.
They are not for distribution or mirroring.", I am not even sure you're allowed to distribute anything other than the toolbar-bundled version. So much for free, eh?

Firefly/Serenity is probably the best Sci-Fi/Action/any other genre of show I've ever seen.
Stargate SG-1 is a close second. Season 1-6, that is.
Star Wars third.
Star Trek... fourth?
Yeah, I've seen this Stargate SG-1 it pretty ok. Much better than Star Wars and Star Trek.
Haven't seen Firefly/Serenity and Battlestar Galactica though.

I wish CCleaner would clean up old Restore Points, but it doesn't. I have to do it manually about once a month (using Windows Disk Cleanup tool).
If you don't want restore points, you can disable System Restore functionality in Windows, I think.
But you shouldn't disable it, and you shouldn't delete restore points, because restore points can be very very helpful if something goes wrong...
-
Yeah, I looked into it, and it seems it will released after Vista.

There is an unofficial portable version of CCleaner available.
CCleaner 2.0 is planned to be a complete rewrite and it is planned to come in a portable version, but its probably a long time until we see it.

By adding it to the trusted sites, it got more control of the webbrowser due to it can run more scripts and stuff which could be possibly dangerous. Generally sites should not be added to the trusted sites list unless you trust it.
