Vista vs. Win7 64-bit compliance?
I came across another post here that recommends ccleaner. Looks capable and
popular. I've used baku on XP. I visit the developer site and one of the FAQs says ccleaner is compatabile up to Vista and Vista-64bit. Is there a discrepancy between Vista 64-bitt and Win7 64-bit? Should I wait for a Win7 64-bit "OK"? Andy |

There is no need with the current versions of Windows (Vista and 7) to use a registry cleaner at all. Orphaned entries in the register do not affect performance... |

Gordon, Forgive my ignorance, I've noticed the Win7-64 has a Program Files AND a Program Files (x86) folder. I've let applications blindly follow their 32-bit installers which has presented their own set of problems afterwards. I'll spare you the details. Is there a 64-bit "checker" of zipped installers, before or after? I have a feeling I have to do a lot of homework on permissions, dammit! Best, Andy |

I'm not an expert on 64 bit OSs but AFAIK that's perfectly normal behaviour.... NO!!! They're distinct and separate folders. 64-bit apps install into the Programs folder. 32-bit apps install into the 32-bit "x86" folder. Installers of 32-bit apps have to be aware of this new underlying mechanism or there will be problems, from my experience. Andy |

Been building and repairing computers for over thirty years. There is no need with the current versions of Windows (Vista and 7) to use a registry cleaner at all. Orphaned entries in the register do not affect performance... Never said there was, and never said it did. But CCleaner is a lot more than just a registry cleaner. Been using it for quite a few years for things other than cleaning registry. And, yes, I've read all the diatribes against using registry cleaners. |

I have been using cleaner for sometime. I did not install it, but run it
from a memory stick. -- Wain "Andy" wrote in message ... I came across another post here that recommends ccleaner. Looks capable and popular. I've used baku on XP.
