Well I did as Nergal suggested (one at a time) and everything worked out ok Many thanks for your advice and to Piriform for an excellent cleaner. Cheers Mike

Hi Hazelnut, Many thanks for the links and info, which were very helpful. I suppose the only way that I am going to learn is to make a backup and then press the fix selected issues button and hope for the best. If things do go wrong and I have to use the backup, does it always restore the registry? Because I have been told that sometimes it may not work (although I think he may have been trying to wind me up.) Thanks again for your advice. Cheers Mike

Hi Guys, When it comes to programs like CCleaner and things like the Registry I am a complete novice, and I so I find it a bit embarrassing to ask a question which is probably second nature to the old hands on this forum. The problem I am having is with the Registry part of CCleaner, and whether or not to go ahead and fix the problems that the "Scan for issues" has brought to my attention. I read somewhere that you don't just go about removing things from the registry if you do not know what you are doing. Is there anyway I can make a copy of the issues so that I can post it on the forum for you guys to look at, and if so how do I go about doing it? Sorry for the stupid question but we all have to learn from somewhere Cheers Mike
