crazylady Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I was wondering is it safe to use the registry feature on CCleaner, and if so when I do backup and want to restore the file. After the backup restoretion should I delete the .REG file or use I just leave it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted August 22, 2007 Moderators Share Posted August 22, 2007 CCleaner is the only registry cleaner that I trust. I've been using it for years and I trust it so much that I dont even make back ups when I use it anymore(I dont recommend you do that though at first). Anyway yes you can delete the .reg file after you restore it or feel you dont need it anymor.e Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oriour Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Similarly, I've been using the reg feature for years and my computer hasn't died on me or anything and I rarely make back ups, unless it's for an entry I don't particularly recognize (95% of the time it's just uninstall leftovers anyways). I think some people reported breaking their comps using the reg service, so I do recommend making backups for your first time at least. I usually just leave the .REG, though that's because I'm too lazy to delete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amckern Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 I run the cleaner about once a week, i normally do a full clean (with Winapp2.ini ( http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=1110 )) and then run the registry checker. The file exts you have are for things that you don't have a program to open with, but have opened a folder that contains them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
