If CCleaner finds no problems scanning the registry, it does not offer the user the ability to create a backup of a good registry. Is there some other place in the GUI that lets you create a backup of the registry?
No, I'm sorry to tell you the only backup available in ccleaner is pre pre-cleaning save of items to be removed
See here for a program which offers a full registry backup
Thanks for the kind reply. I'll try the recommended app because I don't like Windows' regedit.
Cheers
For xp and earlier there is ERUNT. Haven't used it for a long time, though.
