Windows Forum / Windows Me / General Topics / November 2005New CCleaner Version
Alias Thanks Alias. Can the CCleaner be troublesome? Harry. > Alias I've been using it without a glitch..........no probs here. In fact, I did away with my $$$ Windows Washer for this much smaller, faster app. Heirloom, old and like it P.S. Harry, you should be officially nominated for the "Person who has learned the most in the past year" award. A year ago, you would install anything that looked like something you would want and, now, you check things out before installing. Good for you!!! > Thanks Alias. > Can the CCleaner be troublesome? > > Harry. > >> Alias Heirloom: I am a bit alarmed by the warning that things will be permanently deleted on my computer. Isn't there no backup? And then I understand, it is not 100%. Do you see light at the end of the tunnel, H? Harry. > I've been using it without a glitch..........no probs here.

Those are temp files and can be deleted without any problems. You should back up the registry Issues before removing and you are prompted to do so, although I have never had to use the back ups.

It hasn't troubled me and I use it on three computers. I also have a friend who works on computers and he installs it on every one that he cleans up or fixes. Just be sure and back up what you take off using the Registry Issues feature. You can get it at http://www.ccleaner.com/ Alias >>Alias Good advice from Alias. If you look at the items after you "Analyze", you will see that they are all .tmp or index.dat type files. All of these are expendable, no need for backup. Of course, the index.dat files will not be removed until the next reboot as they are in use by Windows. When cleaning the "Issues", as Alias said, you are prompted to make a backup. To date, I have never had to use a backup. I keep them for about a month, then dispose of them. The nice part is, you can click on a particular item and you can open it in Regedit, giving you an opportunity to see exactly what the app is going to perform.

[quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >> >>>Alias Very good, Heirloom and Alias: Knowing what you've both told me, I feel a lot better about this program and will now be able to go ahead and use it freely, which I definitely will. Thanks for your words of assurance and comfort. Harry. > Good advice from Alias. If you look at the items after you "Analyze", you > will see that they are all .tmp or index.dat type files.

This is a personal preference, as I like to clean these items myself. Set yours up as you see fit, of course.
