There are many talented folks who attend the onsite-forum, which is well-managed and moderated and I've also noticed that if the forum members cannot fix your problem w/CCleaner (or anything else for that matter) problems, the developer of the program will try to help you out with any questions, etc. I mostly use CCleaner because it works for my needs and the support is exceptional. Using any registry cleaner (including CCleaner) without knowing what might happen if you simply check every option and/or click everything and then click ‘Fix Selected Issues’ can actually be very hazardous to any system. And like many cleaning tools if the "Issues" options - CCleaner's built-in Registry Cleaner/Fixer - are incorrectly configured it can actually muck things up quite a bit.


While I believe CCleaner is a useful tool - it is most certainly not the 'end-all-be-all' which many to people on the web seem to claim or think it is. I agree as well with your assessment here Bazza. I use it daily but also use Cleanup!, EmpTemp and MRU_Blaster as well. Maybe it should be that's my $1.00 worth.
Ccleaner windows xp sp2 Pc#
It is a great way to show owners of the need for PC housekeeping routines. One has 60,505 files, another the other day had over 10,000. I have run Cleanup! on machines that have never had any housekeeping. Me, I just have the volume down, no biggy.
Ccleaner windows xp sp2 install#
I like Cleanup! because it shows how many files and the amount of space freed.ĬCleaner usually only show the amount of space freed.Īs for the Toilet noise, either put up with it (I always get a laugh from others when I install it), get rid of it as COMPUABLE has a link, or turn down the volume. I am not sure but I think CCleaner cannot reduce the size of user.dat until the next bootup anyhow, but doesn't emphasise the fact like Cleanup! does. It will clean the last stragglers on next bootup anyhow. I never reboot when it suggests that you do. I agree that Cleanup! needs to be rebooted to finish its tasks, but that is mainly to get rid of user.dat files. I agree CCleaner does more things than Cleanup!. MRU_Blaster cleans the Most Recently used lists. I use it daily but also use Cleanup!, EmpTemp and MRU_Blaster as well.Īs a 4 pronged attack on stuff accumulated after every net session.
