Suggestion to improve CC:
Clean also the traces/remains of the Vista/XP (different location!) Auto Updates!!!!
Only clean trace files (install and uninstall files), without uninstall the updates !!

XpLite already does it, but does not exist for Vista and the location is different!

Then you get a great cleaner tool!!

In short Vista no longer allows the deletion of Update uninstall packages, CCleaner does do this for XP still
ADVICE FOR USING CCleaner'S REGISTRY INTEGRITY SECTION
DON'T JUST CLEAN EVERYTHING THAT'S CHECKED OFF.
Do your Registry Cleaning in small bits (at the very least Check-mark by Check-mark)
ALWAYS BACKUP THE ENTRY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU'LL BREAK IF YOU DON'T.

I thinks It must be possible to clean install traces of vista updates! But it seems much more difficult than under XP!? And it is overload for the HDD! After a while the harddisk space is decreasing, even if you use a cleantool lile CCleaner! ;)
