| 609760 | 2007-11-09 04:33:00 | Hi Team I just updated to CC V2.02.527 and see it now has a registry cleaner function. Has anybody used this, and is it safe/reliable? I have a current registry backup of course, but I'd rather not go there! Running W2K (because I like it, OK?). Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 609761 | 2007-11-09 04:41:00 | errrrrrrrrrr...........ccleaner always did have a reg clean function it's under 'issues'.....they just renamed it..... | drcspy (146) | ||
| 609762 | 2007-11-09 04:46:00 | I used to use it every now & then with no problems. I try & discard a lot of freebies and demos & it cleans out the registry junk from those apparently. However, the opinion here a while ago seemed to be that any reg cleaner can potentially make a mess, and the benefits are marginal. Try & see I guess - ccleaner will ask you to make a registry backup before it does anything. |

| 609763 | 2007-11-09 05:19:00 | Been using the Wise reg cleaner from the mag disc and seems to work ok after making a backup first. It does this every time I run it, am running on 3 xp machines so far so good | gary67 (56) | ||
| 609764 | 2007-11-09 05:21:00 | Hi Team I just updated to CC V2 . 02 . 527 and see it now has a registry cleaner function . Has anybody used this, and is it safe/reliable? I have a current registry backup of course, but I'd rather not go there! Running W2K (because I like it, OK?) . Cheers Billy 8-{) Um, its been there since the earliest versions I think . I run it atleast once a week and after every time I install/un-install a program . Keeps it nice and healthy without having to poke in the registry yourself . You have a backup too so no harm but if you do delete any entries, always say "yes" to the backup offered . |

| 609765 | 2007-11-09 05:59:00 | Thanks for that, I'll give it a burl. I never realised that the earlier versions had a reg cleaner, it must have been a little bit obscure because I've used the program for a long time. Mind you, habits form quickly and if I didn't spot it early I wasn't likely to trip over it in a hurry. Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 609766 | 2007-11-09 07:00:00 | OK!! Ran the CC Reg checker and it threw up about 350 items . I went through them line by line and deleted about 340 of them and noted the names of a few programs I wasn't sure about . Everything seems to be working ok still and the only side effect was having to reconfirm one program as a default choice . I guess my registry is a little smaller now! I also ran the new version on my son's computer and removed 16,800 internet files (481MB) that had not been removed by previous clean outs . All of this was prompted by difficulties logging on to Gmail, flowing on from his Bebo exploits . . For some strange reason his problem crossed over to my computer when I tried to log on to his account and killed by PF1 account and that too was cured by updating Ccleaner . As I anticipated, his decision to sign up cost me about 4 hours of my time to set up his Gmail account then cure its refusal to log on, then deal with the flow on to my computer . I think I'll get him to mow the lawns with some nail-scissors this weekend . :mad: Cheers Billy 8-{) |

| 609768 | 2007-11-09 19:51:00 | Its perfectly safe to use as it is cautious and leaves huge piles of crap behind in your registry. | pctek (84) | ||
