Ccleaner (crap cleaner) seems to be one of the more appreciated ones
here. It is a decent cleaner and does what it says it'll do.


Which is what? What does it say it will do?

Have you compared CCleaner's "cleaning" list to other registry
"cleaners"? I have. It shows maybe 10% of what some other "cleaners"
show that needs to be removed.

ALL registry cleaner suck. Period.


He's a clueless idiot! Anyone who has ever used these cleaners for any
length of time eventually comes to realize that:

1- Registry cleaners do nothing at all to speed up your computer or
otherwise improve performance.

2- They do at times remove valid entries that can cause your
applications and operating system to behave in unexpected manners.

I get a "Drive\not accessible. Incorrect function" when I try to
copy files to a CD in Windows XP. KB Article 315350 states that a
probable cause is Roxio CD Creator.
I had CD Creator 6 but just deleted it.
I reset the drive values in the registry and checked the box in the
drive properties recording tab. The drive recorded fine, but when I
reboot the computer I loose the check in the drive properties
recording tab.
I suspect there is something left in the registry from the delete
but I don't know where to look.
I can't get any help from Roxio because I was using an old version!

It is a decent cleaner and does what it says it'll do. There are others
but they won't come to mind right now for some reason. I'm sure someone
will pipe in with them.

You're also going to hear from the foolish ones with claims that no
registry clearner is aver any good for anything, phrases like snake oil,
crap like that. Just ignore them - they're simpletons at best IMO.

Seconded. :-)
Except I think you shoulda recommended dumping the XP search tool, Kelly,
and instead suggested using either AgentRansack or FileLocator Pro, since
the XP search tool is really *next to useless* (by its "conveniently"
skipping over some file types in its searches) :-)

Thanks, Bob and I hear you. )

That being said, I haven't used anything else, so can't really speak for it.
Actually, I don't have a real need for the native search either.
