The unfortunate fact is that some Apps do certain jobs better than others. C Cleaner on the windows PC is amongst the best out there for most cleaning and maintenance jobs given its accessibility and customisation but for registry cleaning? Well i have my doubts.
I used an App called Regservo for Windows and it detected 1,500 registry problems on my Windows Desktop machine. Now I honestly don’t know just how many registry problems the registry of the machine had but I do know I did have some nagging issues that just wouldn’t go away and I couldn’t find fixes for. I ran C Cleaner every day as part of the maintenance for the Desktop machine and it seemed to have done a reasonable job though those annoyances and irritations in the running of the system were still evident. I ran Regservo and much of the rotten behaviour I was experiencing with the Desktop machine has gone so go Figure <smile>. I guess if something works for you then use it but that doesn’t mean there may be something else out out there which can do a better job. I have no complaints, I was using C Cleaner Pro which cost $20 for the licence. Regservo has a yearly subscription licence for $39 which includes all updates and upgrades to the products. Regservo has quite a few more tools which can be used including the ability to fix Windows system files which may become corrupted, online support for those times when you run into Windows Errors that need attention etc. The interface of Regservo is reasonably accessible though I had to label a few buttons in the Interface. Regarding the Mac? I’ve always used Cocktail in the main and I haven’t really used C Cleaner all that much but I do know that the App is accessible enough and easy enough for most people to use. It appeared to me at least that the Mac version of C Cleaner wasn’t getting as much attention as the Windows version was. > On 1 May 2016, at 5:58 AM, Gordon Smith <gor...@mac-access.net> wrote: > > I really wouldn’t like to pre-judge, I haven’t tried cCleaner for millions of > years!
