OT CCleaner
Is there any reason to run this app. if everything is running OK?
I came across this while searching for some fixes for someone that was having a problem with windows XP updates. From the post snip " NOTE - The first time you run CCleaner's Issues scanner you'll have to keep running it back-to-back until it finds nothing. One scenario is a registry key may only be a reference pointing to a completely different location in the registry and when it's removed then that reference link is also noticed as being invalid on a subsequent scan. It's generally a good idea to keep running the Issues scan until nothing is listed. " snip Got them fixed, but wondering about this. Seems dangerous in the wrong hands. LOL Thanks Bob |

It's very good - never had a single problem with it across multiple machines over several years. I came across this while searching for some fixes for someone that was having a problem with windows XP updates. From the post snip NOTE - The first time you run CCleaner's Issues scanner you'll have to keep running it back-to-back until it finds nothing. One scenario is a registry key may only be a reference pointing to a completely different location in the registry and when it's removed then that reference link is also noticed It's not terribly aggressive about cleaning the registry, and you'll find Windows will recreate a load of entries CCleaner removed every time you boot. |
