Artic Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Hi, Yesterday I clicked on my "Issues" tab and checked my registry. I did the backup before I took some things out and now it won't let me restore them? Can someone please help me to put them back please. Many thanks and God Bless.

Eldmannen Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 CCleaner puts a backup registry files of the changes it commited to the registry in the a file located in the "My Documents" folder. Open "My Documents" there you will find the .reg file, you just double-click it and it will ask to merge into the registry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted October 14, 2006 Moderators Share Posted October 14, 2006 now it won't let me restore them? If you're talking about double clicking the backup .reg files not working you can restore them using regedit by clicking Start > Run > Type in: Regedit then in Regedit click File > Import > then browse to the location of the .reg file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artic Posted October 15, 2006 Author Share Posted October 15, 2006 No, I don't think so. I just simply downloaded the free version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pwillener Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 I have lost my passwords for websites. That comes from cookies cleaning. Go to Options | Cookies, and move the cookies you want to keep (userid/passwords of websites) to the right side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
