I've never had CCleaner mess anything up, but there's an automatic backup
choice when you select the clean registry option...just take note of where
you save the backup to.
There's a good chance this will do nothing to solve your problem though -
but it will get junk out of registry- and it's worth a try.

this

lot

|
| If I get CClean, is there a default clean that is safe? I wouldn't know
how
| to select options in an advanced clean.
|
| Thanks for your continuing input.
