Hello,

I recently used CCleaner and DCleaner to clean out junk, but I think it made some changes to my registry (couldnt use desktop shortcuts anymore) that caused me to reinstall XP Pro. When I called MS support, they also thought that registry changes were made.

Do you all feel that running CCleaner and other registry cleaners to clean registry items is safe?

I know I can always back up the registry before "cleaning".

Thank you!
 
Great advice Trotter, I forgot that when programs are uninstalled, they leave "dead" tracks in the registry. Appreciate your response!
 
Yeah and page file should be defragmented as well time to time (with PageDefrag).
But I have just set up Windows to delete page file at shutdown for security reasons.
