Hi Jerry,
Below are steps on using the registry cleaner In CCleaner. Also, written by
Brian Lee.
Hello,
I thought that I would point out for those of you who were unable to get the
registry cleaner being discussed, that the CCleaner registry cleaner has
been well thought of for a long time. If you have CCleaner then you might
want to read the rest of this message.
To use the registry cleaner in CCleaner:
1. Open CCleaner from the desktop icon.
2. Tab to the registry button and press spacebar.
3. Tab five times to the tree view of items to be included in the scan.
Registry integrity will be the opened level in the tree structure.
4. Use down arrow to the various choices under registry integrity. Each
one will be checked. If you don't want a particular item included in the
scan then press spacebar to remove the checkmark. The following items will
be in the tree view:
Missing shared DLLS
Unused file extensions
ActiveX and class issues
Type libraries
Applications
Fonts
Application paths
Help files
Installer
Obsolete software
Run at startup
Start menu ordering
MUI cache.
5. Tab past the list view, which will have zero items before the scan.
6. Tab to the "scan for issues" button and press spacebar.
7. When the scan starts the "cancel button" will be in focus. Use
shift-tab to move to the list of items being found.
If you want to when the scan is done you can use down arrow in the list and
use spacebar to uncheck anything you don't want included in the fix. All
missing DLLS will be shown first in the list, then all missing unused file
extensions, etc. The list will reflect all items in the order of the
choices in the tree view.
In the class section of the scanned problems you will find such things as
"open with application" issues, "invalid default icons" help file issues,
activeX problems and others. The entire path of files being referenced in
the registry is shown. Installer reference issues and uninstaller issues
are also listed with complete paths.
8. Tab twice from the list to the "fix selected issues" button and press
spacebar. You will be asked if you want to backup changes to the registry,
which is a nice addition to the program. I suggest answering "yes." You
will be shown a "save as" dialog. The file name suggested starts with CC
for CCleaner and then shows the date and time starting with the year. It is
a .reg file. Save it where you wish to. If you have Vista you can route
JAWS to PC, do a page up, and arrow down to the line where the save to
location is found to know where the file is being saved. Turn on PC cursor
and then tab to the save button and press spacebar.
9. The dialog box that appears will show the first problem found. You can
route JAWS to PC, do a page up and then arrow down a line at a time to hear
the problem. After putting on PC cursor you can then tab to the "fix issue"
button to resolve the problem being shown, or use tab key to move to the
"fix all selected issues" button and press spacebar.
10. A dialog will appear asking if you are sure you want to fix either the
issue or all selected issues. Press spacebar on OK.
11. If you chose to fix all issues then in the resultant dialog you will be
shown how many issues were fixed. Use JAWS cursor to read the information.
Turn on PC cursor and use tab key to the close button and press spacebar.
12. You can then close CCleaner. If it doesn't close with Alt-F4 or through
a system menu then close it with the JAWS cursor. Route JAWS to PC, do a
page Up to the top of the window, arrow down once and press home key. use
CTRL-left arrow to move to the last graphic on the first line of the window
and do a left mouse button click simulation (slash on the number pad if
using a desktop configuration or caps lock with the number 8 on a laptop
configuration).
You might run the scan again and find additional items.
Take care.
Brian Lee
Hope this has helped. Take care.

Mike:
I was unable to open the weblink. However, I did fool around with the
program. After clicking the cleaner button, how would I get the
information
on any cleaning (I hope that made sense)? I clicked on the anylyze
button,
but could not get JAWS to read any information except what was on the
Systems Tray. Thanks.
