MaDonna Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I keep reading the CCleaner cleans the registry, but I haven't been able to find out how to, etc. I love the program. I have had troubles with Registry First Aid taking "stuff" out it shouldn't, so want to try using the reg cleaner in CC. Can someone tell me exactly how? I can't see where it tells how to do it...Pretty please... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators rridgely Posted August 24, 2005 Moderators Share Posted August 24, 2005 Its the "issues" button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 It is doing it's thing when you run the cleaner and "issues". I get a lot of help from issues, because I change programs a lot. If it isn't broke, tweak it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So needless to say that program went bye-bye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunner Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Reminds me of my "duplicate file" fiasco. I also had to restore. If it isn't broke, tweak it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Andavari Posted August 25, 2005 Moderators Share Posted August 25, 2005 CCleaner is safe when it comes to the registry! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes it is, also CCleaners registry cleaner isn't as underpowered as some people may think or assume, it is rather powerful and indeed safe.

Greenknight Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Yes it is, also CCleaners registry cleaner isn't as underpowered as some people may think or assume, it is rather powerful and indeed safe. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Since cleaning the MUI Cache was added, a couple updates ago, CCleaner is now a complete registry cleaner. I still use EasyCleaner as a backup, but it no longer finds very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaDonna Posted August 25, 2005 Author Share Posted August 25, 2005 I used the registry cleaner in CC and all went well, except when I re-started my computer there was a window stating another program was keeping Spy Sweeper from opening, please re-install it. I didn't have to re-install it, just open it up from Programs, but was wondering if anyone would know why this happened or what I took out I shouldn't have. I just let it clean everything out. This is no big problem, because I can always start SS when I start computer. I was wondering if MSAS might be the program that was keeping SS from opening? Thanks for all the help...
