Im thinking of putting this on my computer, but if it is run can you accidently wipe off programs, cos other ppl use this computer and i dont want them erasing everything on here.

You can uninstall programs with this if that's what you mean. It's no different than uninstalling using windows though.

u can select what it cleans ... thts up to u

pip1011261 · 09-23-2007, 04:40 PM

so there will be no harm done if i use the "cleaner icon" and the "registry icon" like i mean it wont delete anything that may be needed by an application. I just like to really double check on these things as im worried something may get deleted and then wont work.

adarsh · 09-23-2007, 04:44 PM

it will not cause any harm . u can uncheck the items you dont want cleaned. anyways, its widely used and has so far not caused any problem.

it just cleans the dumps and temporary files and cleans ur browser history

The cleaner function basically cleans your computer of all the cookies and temporary files, if you're worried that it might do harm then don't run the cleaner. As for the registry cleaner, you can always make a backup of the registry, and then reload it if the programs screws something up.

go to run and type regedit.
from there, go to file, and click export. type the name of the registry backup and click on save.
