Thank you DennisD for your reply. My system is Windows XP Professional SP3 Pentium D 2.80GHz HD250GB 3GB RAM About the System Restore. I ran into a problem when I did try a System Restore and find that I must do this from time to time. When trying to restore I would get the following message: :Restoration Incomplete. Your computer cannot be restored..." when you run Windows System Restore. I was able to get some good information on my problem which envolves the fact that it all has to do with the Norton Internet Security 2009 that is installed in my machine. I followed the instructions and I was able to make a Restore Point but must do this many times in past. If interested you go go to the website since it would explain better what was going on than I can. http://bertk.mvps.org/html/symantecdoc1.html I will take the time to read the CCleaner Beginner's Guide and about System Restore. Thank you Oldgoat

Well I just joined up this forum today. This is my first post. Being a Oldgoat I hope one is patient with me. A'nt easy being old. I read one of the remarks from one of the reviews that I read on the CCleaner webpage. I quote. "Be sure that what you erase is undesirable". My question is how does one know what is undesirable in the registry? Especially for one who is just a beginner with computers. I have looked at my registry out of curiosity and naturally just looked and did not do any changes to it, but the first thing that I said to myself was what is suppose to be there and not? I thank any one who might respond to my question.
