Hi Asyn,

You have to ask him. Bad enough thread cannot be approved (no reaction from admin). I tried to re-phrase the topic txt to avoid the filter, too bad I could not find out what triggered that. Magna’s reaction is from a PM (with contents of this posting) he has sent me, important general information enough to pass it on here. ;D

The official CCleaner faq resides here: https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/faq
also read: http://www.winhelp.us/install-ccleaner.html

That users should be cautious doing something towards the registry was long known to me.
In the past you always got the advice back up the registry first.

For some errors I saw this cure using CCleaner tools:

CCleaner will let you manage most Startup items and also do some other cleanup oriented operations. Launch CCleaner and choose Tools, Startup and in the bottom right, click the “Save to text file” button to save the Startup information to a text file - something like startup.txt

Save the startup information text file to your desktop (or someplace you can find it) open the text file with a text editor (notepad or WordPad), select all the text (Ctrl-A), copy all the highlighted text to the Windows clipboard (Ctrl-C) and then paste (Ctrl-V) the contents of the startup list back here in your next reply

and one of our qualified removers may come up with some instructions how to proceed. Quote taken from winhelp.
