Re: CCCleaner (was: Microsoft update)

[John Jones <chianime@xxxxxxxxx>]

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.
