I got all this registry unused file extension issues in one day(today) and I haven`t got the faintest idea what these are and if I can safely delete after backup.Can anyone help me with this?

If you've uninstalled something that can happen. It can also happen if you've opened folders that contain files with those extensions as Windows automatically adds them into the registry.

My recommendation is make a registry backup with ERUNT before you clean them, and allow CCleaner to also create a .REG backup.

The only program I have uninstalled yesterday is:Irfan View.Does it make any sense now?

Extensions are remnants registry items which can be safely deleted. To my taste Andavari is over cautious but no offence, *.reg backup in CCleaner should be enough. If you install an application, extensions are created and written to registry. Was that application uninstalled, they are no more needed. I ever clean them.
