I have not yet tested any of the cleaning options but, from what I read, CCleaner will offer to back up the registry before cleaning. Is that correct? And does it back up only what it will change? I assumed it would back up the entire registry. If I need to manually back up the registry I will need a refresher course! As I recall it is pretty easy to do.
