When I run registry for the first time (once a week), I'm always notified of an "Unused Extension - {". Why does this continue to pop up? Is there any way to determine what program or what is causing this? It doesn't seem to be an issue, just an annoyance.

Maybe you need one of the hotfixes listed here. Scroll a bit: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/...1450951033.aspx
It shows I have SP3 for Outlook 2003. I think I'm up to date on service packs.

Well, common and common. It happens ever so often. It's a good idea to run CCleaner's regcleaner more that once.
And no. You can't find a regcleaner more safe than CCleaner. The only other equally safe alternative is "Windows Live OneCare safety scanner" which is a free offer that Microsoft runs. It's a 360 actually. It can defrag, regclean, clean up, remove malware, optimize and what have you. Online!

I take it for a spin every now and then. It has hidden talents since only Microsoft knows exactly what Windows keys are genuinely obsolete. So it dare take more than any other regcleaner. Don't be surprised if it takes several hundred the first time.
It will even update your OS. If you're running behind it will send the Yellow Shield to your Taskbar with all the updates that you need. It usually arrives within minutes after the scan is done.
Note that there's a separate link for Windows Vista and Windows 7 users.
Windows Live OneCare safety scanner will stay put even though Microsoft no longer has the OneCare series for sale. So we will always have it should problems arise.
Thanks for the information. I used the Windows Live OneCare. It did take awhile, and found a lot. Now, I'm having issues with my Outlook 2003. I don't know if it's related. Everytime I shut Outlook down, it doesn't close out completely, so I end up having to kill the process. I then get the message " MS Office Outlook has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I tried a repair of Outlook, as well as compacting, without success. It doesn't seem to lose anything, so I'm living with it.

I'm troubleshooting problems with McAfee on my computer, and it was suggested to run a registry cleaner. Since I have CCleaner, I chose to use this instead of the recommended one called regCleaner. I noticed that it took 4 times (backuped up the registry 4 times) to get the Registry Cleaner to report "no issues".
Is this common? Would it be better to use/find the recommended RegCleaner?
Same registry issue is reported
in CCleaner Bug Reporting

What older version do you find you trust? What's involved to going back to an older version if I'm on the current one?
