CCleaner removed my IE7 Uninstall entry, therefore making me unable to remove IE7, causing catastrophic problems. I used System Restore which got my system back to normal, but want to warn members and the makers of CCleaner. Please come up with a new version that does not delete uninstall entries, or advise how to make CCleaner not delete uninstall entries.

The latest version, 1.28.277, should no longer have this issue. |

Thanks for that info! I think I was using 1.27, so it was probably my fault for not reading up on it. Is it safe to check every box now?

As far as I know, there have been no complaints about the new version. You may want to do a System Restore check point or a registry backup first just in case. |

MrG fixed the $hf_mig$ folder being removed. Do not use the hotfix uninstaller option if you're using IE7.

I just thought that accidently deleting my XP partition, reformatting my hard drive, reinstalling XP, and downloading over 50 updates including SP2 on dialup over two sleepless days and nights would be just as easy as using Andy's application  !I guess there's just the tiniest possibility I was wrong... |

Hi Elf Do you have more than one account on your system and are you running from the Admin' account ? Does it display the message after you type the uninstall command into the Run area or at another stage of the uninstall ? Andy |
