300037	2004-12-06 05:25:00	Having a cluttered C drive, I installed RegSeeker as suggested in the PC World to have a cleanup. The problem now, is what do I do when it finds over a thousand files, saying most are invalid, or have invalid extensions. How do I know that by deleting these files my computer won't be damaged?. There are warnings about possible damage on the site and I am holding fire until some guru can offer some help. Using XPpro. Any help appreciated..	Ron24 (337)

I see that RegSeeker has an option to backup before deletion, so it would be wise to do this first. There is also a comment on their site about RegSeeker possibly damaging the Add/Remove panel in Windows, and they offer a repair fix that can be downloaded if that occurs. Make sure you have read any help/instruction files supplied with the program first.	Jen C (20)

Just have RegSeeker delete them. Windows often goes and puts a few of them back again anyway, so no harm will be done. If you are worried then set a restore point prior to running RegSeeker and ensure that the option for making a backup is chosen (it is normally, by default).	Susan B (19)
