The thing is, some of the ccleaner backers claim it is not only a registry cleaner, as it deletes MRU's (which are registry entries, n00b), finds installed software (again, registry keys n00b^2), and apparently cleans up other stuff such as startup programs (registry keys (for the most part, msconfig is your friend)) ....
Listen, mate, if you are so keen on keeping your MRU's clean, clean them once, export registry key and keep it in a safe location ... when you wanna clean, delete and import. 5 minute job to write & test a batch script... no more time spent trying to keep CCleaner up-to-date ...
You never know what CCleaner will do, MRU's are safe, installed software pretty much also .. but the rest ?
If you are in front of a computer that need cleaning, you backup & reinstall ... really, it is that simple.
Ccleaner users are n00bs, no ifs, buts, or maybes.
Downvote all you want, I don't care, but please, think for two minutes and accept that you are wrong, no, seriously, you are, really!
Paris, coz she likes a good thorough cleaning every now and then ...
Biting the hand that feeds IT
