Remember that CCleaner is a bunch of tools in one application. There's the regular "Cleaner", as seen here: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9N3zmmn7mUw/Uqw4V11u2eI/AAAAAAAABfc/gLFAX0Um4qY/s1600/CCleaner-2014.png The regular "Cleaner" is not a registry cleaner. The Registry cleaning is under the "Registry" tab. http://computeropschonen.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/screenshot-ccleaner.png Then there's the 6 other tools (newer versions added "Disk Analyzer" too): http://betanews.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/ccleaner.jpg Usually when someone says "I ran CCleaner", they ran the regular "Cleaner" and not the Registry Cleaner. -Mike _______________________________________________ x2go-user mailing list [email protected] http://lists.x2go.org/listinfo/x2go-user
