I am running WinXP SP3. When I used an older version of CCleaner (2.21), it always found some registry issues after uninstalling a program. The new version (2.27) does not.
Just an example. I uninstalled Yahoo Messenger, and then ran an older verion of CCleaner (2.21). It found a lot of unused registry issues releated to Yahoo Messenger. Deleting them worked fine. If I reinstall and uninstall Yahoo Messenger again, and run the new version of CCleaner (2.27), it finds nothing in the registry. I can go into the registry and see them.
If I uninstall the new version of CCleaner (2.27), and install an older version (2.21), it finds the Yahoo Messenger registy issues.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
CCW

Could very well mean that theres an error in its scanning, or that you need those and the old one has the error. I dunno

Thanks for the answers so far. let me give a specific example.
After Yahoo Messenger is uninstalled, there is a Registry entry for Yahoo Messenger under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Yahoo Messenger
The older CCleaner removed this entry, the new CCleaner does not.

I also found many old entries, specially from hotfix and patches... they are making references to temp files that do not exist anymore, like:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{2750B389-A2D2-4953-99CA-27C1F2A8E6FD}\InstallSource
Data: c:\076ee9b6da8e86353e6f368b383feff5\Setup\
I think CCleaner developers should work more on this... do you know? I complained about a problem using winapp2.ini file, which made CCleaner too slow and didn't find all files I wanted to delete (recursion was not working well)... many said in this forum that there was no problem with recursion, and that slow speed was because using winapp2.ini. In Version 2.28 all this was fixed... who was right?
