I am running a spring clean with your wonderful CCleaner, but am a little nervous about the 'Applications' tab.
I have downloaded the Beginners Guide, read the FAQs and ran a search for 'Application Cleaning' which was somewhat inconclusive, listing several pages of topics to choose from.
So can someone please reassure me? What happens if i run the cleaner with all the applications ticked? It will not remove the applications? Or the data files? What will it do exactly?
I have used CCleaner successfully (once) in the past, but also had a wearying experience (once) that involved going back to a restore point, so i have come to realise this is a very powerful tool (which is what we want) and needs careful handling.
I also have a 'fix' installed that allows my pc to override its limit of 10 (TCP or UDP, i cannot recall) connections. How can i alert CCleaner not to touch this?

Noting Davey's post regarding the ERUNT & NTREGOPT* utilities I would like to add to the collective pool of available utilities by mentioning PROCESS EXPLORER, now available as a free download at microsoft's page
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysintern...ssExplorer.mspx
It is an independently created utility by Mark Russinovich and Published on November 5, 2007.
Here is a Cut & Paste of the description:
"...Ever wondered which program has a particular file or directory open? Now you can find out. Process Explorer shows you information about which handles and DLLs processes have opened or loaded..."
I have had a look and it has some mighty fine features, way over my head (not saying much)
