Re: CCCleaner (was: Microsoft update)

CCleaner gives the option to back up the entries before they are deleted. I
always take that option. By default it names the file CC_dateandtime.reg so
you can re-import them easily (right-click and open/import) should a problem
occur.

I think what CCleaner is going after are orphans more than anything else.
References to objects that no exist and that sort of thing.

about
the Client Access "issues" it found. Other Windows programs aren't always
good at knowing that CA is a legitimate software program, so I'd hate for
it
to remove vital registry entries.
