I've read the beginners guide & just about every post in the forum ( which was a mistake cuz now I'm overloaded ). I'm sure I should run CCleaner cuz my puter is sooooo slow it's driving me buggy but still unsure of cookies for one thing. As long as I always sign in to forums with user name & password, I don't have to worry about saving any cookies associated with that forum.........is that correct? And I saw something about "protecting flash cookies" but don't know what that means.
Flash Cookies are cookies used by the Adobe Flash Player (YouTube, NPR etc) they are kept in a different location than your normal cookies.
Glad you read the Guide and the Forum; thats 20 steps more than most people.
Running the Cleaner section of CCleaner is quite safe (though be careful with the advanced section it is as it say advanced)
The Registry section. . . well read my signature Keep coming back and you too can be a help to those who don't read the guide and forum and my signature (can you tell I'm in love with my signature HAHAHA)
