Using "issues" in C-Cleaner?

[97tbird]

Hi

I normally use only the regular cleaner function in C-Cleaner, and today just hit the "issues" button, and "scan for issues", and it shows me about 80 "issues" that can be "fixed"...what really are these issues? (see screen shot below). do these have to do anything with the registry?..i don't want to delete/"fix" anything that will cause problems..

Any of you guys ever use this "issues" tab? if yes, are these "issues" safe to delete?

Thanks a lot.

Yeah, they are just old legacy registry entries. I've never had a problem deleting all of them. If you want, I think CCleaner offers you the chance the back 'em up before deleting them. Get rid of them.....it helps to speed up your PC.

Thanks;
I 'll try that.

Well, I just did and got rid of all the junk.. (created a backup before doing it)...feel better now

I use Issues daily and have for about a year. In Cleaning make sure in Advanced you leave Old Prefetch Data unchecked. I also leave Autocomplete form history unchecked also. Good tool IMO. The only real reg cleaner is AMUST Registry Cleaner 3.5. First run with this will scare you.

hmm...I might try that...
and I'm slowly beginning to feel that the "diskeeper lite" that came with my ThinkPad R60 may not be the best defragmenter either...
looking for a better one right now.

"?": Does defragmenting too often damage the HD?
I do it once/3 wks..is that too much?

No, defragging your HDD to often won't damage it.

Greg, I use perfect disk enterprise. Its a fantastic program, makes the windows program look like junk.

As for ccleaner, i've run it on probably 50 different systems (i'm a tech), and have never had one problem when deleting all the "issues" and not backing it up.

+1 for Perfect disk. It's the Lexus of disk defragmenters. It doesn't compact all data into the first regions of the disk like most others do. Rather, it uses some algorithm to place most-used files near the center of the disk, padded with blanks space around them to keep re-fragmenting from occurring. Dunno if this makes any difference on a SAN or even in a RAID-5 array, but for plain disks or RAID-1 arrays, it's makes a difference....

I use O&O Defrag Pro. Seems OK
