Thanks for the advice. Now if I could only get CC to work correctly on my Win 98 desktop. Apparently there is a known problem with a blank page after analyze. I can confirm the problem.
Hello urdrwho
Try having a read of the guide here, it should answer a lot of your question, including about backups (available in "issues" cleaning only)

Works fine on my XPSP2 laptop but on the old 98sp1 ....the blank screen problem.
........this is a problem with Windows98 and WindowsME...especially ...if you are using Opera. un-check all the options for Opera and run the scan again. It should work now.

Well the Hotfix uninstaller was just one example. Missing shortcuts, obsolete software keys, etc. I like the idea of keeping a clean system but......
Is it worth the risk of breaking the system. I guess I should ask if CCLeaner creates a backup just in case removing items breaks a link?
The only way those $Ntuninstall* will show up is if you've enabled under 'Advanced' the 'Hotfix Uninstallers'. Hotfix Uninstallers won't break anything on your system since Hotfix Uninstallers has been fixed for several versions.
It's just a matter of personal choice to either leave them intact which harms nothing and only consumes some disk space. Removing them is alright as long as you don't wish to uninstall a hotfix (which are typically critical security updates and shouldn't be uninstalled).

I have played with CCLeaner before but never ran the cleaner. After I analyze a lot of files will show up and I think to myself, "is it worth crashing the computer if the wrong thing is erased?"
As an example: under Hotfix uninstallers I'll see C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB873339$\eula.txt 4.00KB. Ok it is a text file and I would not see why it couldn't be removed.
Then there is this: C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninstallKB873339$\update.exe 0.62MB. Now an executible file, hm? That could be present a problem.
I just don't know what the best protocol is for using a cleaner. Years ago I used one on a desktop and it created a lot of problems.
move large files

if I check move large files will it always do it or must I always go to option and make the choice?
It took a very long time the first time I asked to move large files. It was on a laptop / 1.5 gig ram / 60 gig HD (10 gig remaining
Should I always choose to move large files to the end or choose which files to move. If I move my Contact Manager database to the end, it will always need to search the end. I use my CM each day and all day.
Also when I moved them to the end there was a large hole in the middle of the HD. IS that OK?
