hamall9 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Good morning, I have several questions concerning CC and I hope I am not bothering anyone by rolling them into this one post Firstly, Advanced Cleaning Settings. What are the following and should I include them in the cleaning sequence ..... old prefetch data menu order cache tray notifications cache window Size/ ..... User Assit ... IIS Log Files Secondly ( if I am not pushing my luck too far) A couple of other programs (RegCure, in free mode, in particular) are showing 700+ faults after I have run CC. Presumably they amount to nothing of interest in CC. They are .... Com/Active X 4 Path File Reference 420 Empty Registry File 290 Any suggestions are warmly received.

Moderators hazelnut Posted November 30, 2009 Moderators Share Posted November 30, 2009 Some info here for you on those advanced cleaning settings http://docs.piriform.com/ccleaner/ccleaner...d-windows-files Perhaps wait until you feel comfortable with ccleaner before using the advanced options? As regarding RegCure I have never used it. I find ccleaner is a very gentle and safe reg cleaner, sometimes others can go too deep.

As to the second part of my questions, I would be interested in furthering this discussion as to how deep to clean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc1 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Hi hamall9. Here's a fairly recent thread about registry cleaning. http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=24887 I suggest you take some time and read comments in that thread. Also, click on the additional links therein to get more perspective. Registry cleaning is not a subject to be taken lightly. I have used CCleaner's registry cleaner for a few years now with no problems. But I do so because it is considered gentle. I doubt I would ever consider using something more aggresive. For me, the risk is too high and the payoff too negligible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
