[Migo Registry Repair]

In my opinion the fact is that CCleaner handles as 'Applications Cleaning' many stuff that other cleaners declare to be 'Registry Errors'.

Just for instance, most of MRU lists. IMO this often foolish people about CCleaner finding "so few" entries scanning the Registry.

 

 

Each program has definitely its own terminology. All The Best.

It sounds as if you know what you're doing Jiri, just don't forget those backups, which is something we always emphasise to users of CCleaner as well.

 

The inspiration thing? Probably not, but who knows, I'm not one of the developers.

 

Hope to see you around the forum again.

 

 

You are fantastic.

I don't need to add anything to Andavaris observations, (I can't run fast enough to do that), but out of curiosity I had a look at what I think is the program you are comparing CCleaner with.

 

Registry Repair: (Migo)

 

I have no intention of deriding the program, but it ventures into areas I have never seen in the Registry Maintenance programs I've looked at and tried, and I hope you always make a backup before running it.

 

I do not dispute your views, it's quite likely that some of the other program's suggestions are not appropriate. However, some are relevant, indeed, such as the values of the keys with the filenames of the programs which have been uninstalled.

 

Can CCleaner take inspiration from that program?

 

Keep doing your great work!

Hello - how come that Migo found 1744 more errors than CCleaner? See enclosure

[Vista Ultimate 32b, SP1 - lost permissions for HKCR]

I dont know of any documentation that lists which keys and values are owned by Trusted Installer. But a couple examples would be HKCR\InternetShortcut and HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\FolderTypes

 

I mainly wanted to post that CC dosent affect key/value permissions. Also you mentioned you have to run the script every few days?

 

Thanks. Yes, I have to run that script every few days - whenever the config of the computer changes a bit. Not sure what caused this but trying to talk to the possible software developers who might know.

 

Any advice much appreciated. Regarding CCleaner - keep doing your great work!

[Vista Ultimate 32b, SP1 - lost permissions for HKCR]

I know its late and after the fact. But CC dosent change or alter key permissions. It only deletes keys/values despite the application using the word 'fix'.

 

As for using subinacl, I've also seen many people have registry related problems from this. Permissions and ownership needs to be set to 'NT SERVICE\TrustedInstaller' for some specific keys for security reasons.

 

Can you be more specific? What values and what permissions?

 

Do you have any link to any doc on this?

 

Any help much appreciated.

 

 

All the best.

I don't really think that CCleaner would be changed in the future to do serious registry changes like this Jiri.

 

Good luck in your search for a permanent solution.

 

Keep doing your great work.

Having had a read of your link I do not understand why you say there is a big chance it was caused by CCleaner.

 

No one in all those posts even mentions it. It is a vista thing as far as I can see and many, many people are looking for a fix.

 

Most users seem to have helped this problem by installing subinacl from the Windows Resource Kit. However it can be 'broken' again by anything which writes to the registry apparently.

 

Why there is a big chance ... because that's the only program that "fixes registry" I have run after a clean reinstall of the machine.

 

Of course, CCleaner can be innocent in this. If this is the case, indeed, then it would be a great feature of CCleaner if it provided a comprehensive fix for this - subinacl is not a complete solution, indeed.

Please, could you send to me your answers to *****?

 

thanks.

[Vista Ultimate 32b, SP1 - lost permissions for HKCR]

Hello:

 

not sure how this happened, but there is a big chance that it may have been caused by CCleaner. Suddenly, all permissions for HKCR got lost, with most of the SW i have stopped working completely. Only after I manually run the below script, the computer started to work, but I need to run the script every few days.

 

The issue has been well documented at http://www.brianpeek.com/blog/archive/2007...stry-issue.aspx

 

Anybody has any clue about the cause? Could it be CCleaner? How to fix this?
