I used CCleaner last night. Freed 37.7 MB[Run Cleaner] and fixed 337 registry issues. The above might not seem much but I cleaned my registry without having to select 'yes to backup' when cleaning. I don't understand why I have to make a backup of the crap I'm cleaning, and not just clean it. CCleaner has helped do what I want at last. I am not saying people must not select backup when cleaning or fixing issues in the registry, I make a full copy of the registry before cleaning. Was using Cleanup in the past and I managed to clean all my pictures and data. CCleaner helped me clean without messing anything. Thanks for creating such a wonderful product. Thanks.

you should always back up nothing is 100% perfect

i never make backups of the registry as i can trust what CCleaner does is good,that takes too much time to do.

If you already made a complete backup of the registry, making a backup of CCleaner's registry deletions would be overkill, I agree.

I don't make Reg backups either, if it messes up my Windows Installation (which has never happened), I just pop in the WinXP installation CD and reïnstall it
