Hi With cCleaner, when you select Fix selected issues after doing a scan for issues, cCleaner will ask you if you want to make a backup. If you select yes, I believe that the backup will only contain the registry keys that will be deleted, and not the entire registry.

When you go into the button to clean your registry, the first thing you will be asked is if you want to make a back up of the registry. Simply answer yes, and except the file name suggested.

I think Ccleaner can do this for you. Otherwise, if you can see which registry entries are removed, you will probably be able to figure out what they are/what they do, roughly (it's not always easy, but I think I understand it reasonably well). It's possible that some changes you made to your system will be revoked once you use Ccleaner. That's why it's good to have a backup, and to keep a log of some sort of the changes Ccleaner makes. I haven't used this programme in years, but it did help my XP machine run faster from time to time. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of wayne smith Sent: October 25, 2017 6:33 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] CCleaner Question I haven't used something like CCleaner before.

If you chose to have a back up, then your registry file will be there, with all the entries still intact. However, that is strictly for back up in case something dreadful happens. You don’t need to restart your PC. Simply close the cleaner and MoveOn. Dave Sent from my iPhone On Oct 25, 2017, at 3:18 PM, <[email protected]> <[email protected]> wrote: Evening all.
