A new Better Idea


Recommended Posts

Registry cleaning should not be done automatically - period.

 

I know I sound rude, but a false positive by any Registry cleaning tool can have very, very bad consequences.

ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION

DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.

Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark)

ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

The request for automatic registry cleaning has been requested countless times before, however like already mentioned it's really not such a good thing to practice. While CCleaner has the safest registry cleaner I've ever used I still wouldn't blindly trust it with the Windows registry without first seeing what it wants to remove.

CCleaner has an exact location for the areas it cleans.

 

This is not possible for registry cleaning.

 

Therefore, "Auto-clean" for the registry WILL result in critical parts of windows being deleted & cause problems.

Registry cleaning is only to be used when the user can verify each string they remove to ensure CCleaner didn't snag the wrong items for removal...
