Thank you both for your replies. I did the double click and Merge.
Unfortunately, it is my belief that something was ADDED in to my registry rather than something was removed by the cleaner. That item, an embroidery software did some how make a mess of my pc. They claim no one else is complaining and are not going to do anything for me.
I looked (carefully) at regedit to see if I saw something with their name on it but realized that I would not know what I was looking at.
You could probably do a repair install if it's available, or if required an uninstall then reinstall of the affected software to fix it. Then pass the developers a nice finger for not helping one of their customers.
