If it asked you to purchase the program in order to remove the registry
entries, then it wasn't C-Cleaner.
The actual program is completely free to use, unless you purchase the Pro
version, which I can't speak to, so don't ask me to list the difference
between the two.
Anyway, tab to the registry button and press the spacebar.
Once you do this, tab to the list of checkboxes that outlines what
C-Cleaners scanners should check the registry for.
Check and uncheck the boxes according to your wishes.
Once you have finished all the checkboxes, tab twice to the Scan for issues
button and press the spacebar to activate.
Wait until your screen reader reports that you are back on the scan for
issues button, at which point, you can shift+tab to go to the results pane
to view what it has found.
Once you have reviewed what it's found, or if you simply want to bypass the
results, tab to the fix selected issues button and press the spacebar.
You'll be placed in a dialog box that asks you if you want to back up your
registry. You can select to do this or not, it's up to you.
Once you've made the selection to back-up your registry or not, you'll be
placed in another dialog box where you can select the issues you want to
repair.
If you feel there's something that should not be repaired, then shift+tab to
the issues list and uncheck the box. I always just tab to the fix all
selected issues button and press the spacebar. Once done, you'll be placed
on the close button, so press your spacebar to activate it.
Now here you have to watch out because for some reason, Jaws sometimes loses
focus on the cleaner, so you have to alt+tab to go back to it, or, if the
cleaner is the only window open, you'll have to go to your desktop, then
alt+tab back to the cleaner.
Depending on what point in the registry cleaning process you lost focus on
the cleaner, you may have to spacebar on the above close button, or continue
on below.
Not sure about you, but I always run multiple scans of the registry to make
sure I've taken care of all the problems issues, along with the problem
issues created when the original problems were fixed.
This is sort of like pruning a tree. If you don't prune the tree at the
largest branch and start at the bottom of the branch, you have to keep
pruning until the problem area is cut off.
This would be how C-Cleaner and most other registry cleaners work. It
starts at the bottom of the branch, and works it's way up. Now, I'm not
going to pretend to know how the registry works, or what it's structure
looks like, but it's enough to know that I run the cleaner several times
until the cleaner reports that no items found in the results window.
In other words, rinse and repeat as needed.
Hope this helps.
