Hi,

In some case, I may accidently remove required Startup items with the CCleaner. If CCleaner can backup the removed startup items, that will be great.

rgds,

rgds,

If you want, you can try using this program, which can modify start-up programs, plus it backs up all the ones you deleted...

Unfortunately, there isn't a way to 'backup' CCleaner, and there probably never will be, since the whole point of it is to delete unnecessary files and free up space.

I am not aware that Ccleaner removes startup programs. Applications such as Startup Instpector do that, and they can also reinstate disabled startup programs.

Open CCleaner, click Tools, and click Startup.

Indeed! I have never been in the Tools section.

Yeah, so far just Uninstall and Startup, but supposedly there will a data wiping feature soon.

If km307 wants to be able to disable startup items without deleting them, he should go to Start > msconfig and select the Startup tab. Any box you uncheck will turn off that item, but give you the ability to turn it on again later. I suggested this for CCleaner a while ago; would make a nice addition.
