I use CCleaner everyday. To clean temp files and the like. Here is the default setting for CCleaner's registry cleaner. Even with a registry backup (which not everyone will do), it seems like a lot of potential for problems. Also regarding regarding registry cleaners, from the horse's mouth...

That is probably partly due to the fact that both of those OS's are not XP. Where XP may have benefited from cleaning the registry everything I have read says Win 7 does not. To each their own but IMHO any miniscule increase in performance that MAY be obtained by cleaning the registry is far...

Processor : 6.9 Memory : 5.9 Graphics : 4.9 Gaming : 5.3 Primary disk : 5.9 Base score : 4.9 Low base score obviously due to the graphics. Didn't really think about it when I bought this system. Could have gotten a similar set up with ATI Radeon graphics. Might have made the score better. I'm...

I'm assuming it's backed up to an external drive. Definitely use it for your data. IIWM I would reinstall programs just to be sure everything is correct.
