JesperU Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Hiya folks, I'm new here but have been using CCleaner for years. I decided to create myself an account so I could ask some questions when needed. I have one right now actually. What is the best way to run CCleaner's Reg. Cleaner? After a reboot or during current session, and then a reboot? Or can I just clean the reg. during a current session and then continue working afterwards without reboot? As of now, I run the reg. cleaner before I shut down the PC and go to bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

login123 Posted July 20, 2015 Share Posted July 20, 2015 Hi JesperU, welcome. I don't use the registry cleaner routinely, but only when there seems to be a problem. I run it one tick box at a time, and keep all the backups in a folder made for them so I can remember where they are. CCleaner will name them something like cc_20150720_121247.reg, which is CC_ plus the date and time. I always denote which box was ticked, like this (for unused file extensions): cc_20150720_121247_filext.reg Its slower, and maybe not necessary, but as the victim of more than one registry issue, I prefer safe to sorry. When you change the registry, you might create an issue that wouldn't show up for a long time, and if you know which backups are which, you can more easily fix it. The CCleaner SLIM version is always released a bit after any new version; when it is it will be HERE :-) Pssssst: ... It isn't really a cloud. Its a bunch of big, giant servers.

Moderators TwistedMetal Posted July 21, 2015 Moderators Share Posted July 21, 2015 I usually run it once a week for maintenance or when I uninstall apps.
