CCleaner presets (4) — Other settings, final notes — System restore can be a real space hog. It can easily be trimmed to minimal size using Tools>System Restore. CCleaner won't let you delete the last, most recent Restore. You may keep more, as you wish — Registry cleaning is pretty safe. It's especially useful after upgrades and Windows updates. I created a folder called Registry Backups, and ALWAYS back up any changes. After your first backup and save to your newly-created folder, CCleaner will automatically place your new backups in that folder. — New users may find they have HUGE volumes of cookies, etc. It may take a while for CCleaner to remove them all. Regular CCleaner users will find the process takes only seconds. _______________________________________________ There's more about CCleaner, but this will get you started. Once it's set up, these are the quick steps I use every day -- 1 — On my desktop, CCleaner is on the taskbar. Click the icon, and open CCleaner. 2 — First, go to Options>Cookies. Select one cookie from the list on the LEFT, and press Ctrl-A (select all). Delete them all. For safety, remember to export "Cookies to keep" to a text file, in case you accidentally delete them. CCleaner can always restore them from that .txt file. You won't have to rebuild the list. 3 — Then go to Cleaner, and click the "Run Cleaner" button, lower right. THAT'S IT. Done. It takes seconds, maybe a minute, max. Once everything's set up, it's very fast. Note that this is the FREE version of CCleaner. In the free version, there are more features -- but that's another discussion. Jim
