I've just downloaded CCleaner and I love it's all-in-one capabilities, deleting temp. files, history recycle bin. And I'm fine with it deleting those, but when it comes to the registry cleaner I'm just not sure, it's telling me about unused file extensions like .iso .img .dvd and .flc and I'm not sure what that means or what it will do. I know I need a registry cleaner I just want to make sure I understand what I'm cleaning up. Thanks in Advance.

CCleaners Registry Cleaner. Can I trust it?
(7 posts)
Thanks I thought it was something like that, I have yet to find a registry cleaner for pay or free that hasn't messed up 'someones' PC. And that's what scares me, the registry is extremely delicate. It's like going in for surgery for you know, all it takes is that one in whatever chance that the program has an error and bam if you didn't set a restore point you're done, if you did you still gotta mess with the rollback which I don't personally like doing to often. If you check back, could you tell me what registry cleaners you trust? It'd be a great help. Thanks Again.
I was just looking at some features in cccleaner.... apparently from what i have seen about using the program is that it tries to find valid programs to use the file extension that are in the registry. from what i have seen this is not a good thing so just remove the check box about unused file extensions in the options before you scan...
