Optimizing performance with CCleaner
Thursday, October 22, 2009 posted by Kent Computers
CCleaner is a free, nifty program that I frequently use for computer tune-ups. I use it primarily for its registry cleaner, which you can see in the screenshot below.
Cleaning the registry is especially helpful for computers that have had Windows installed a while. As programs are installed and uninstalled, unnecessary junk builds up over time, slowing performance, occasionally causing other problems.
To run the registry cleaner, start CCleaner, click on the registry icon on the left, click on ‘Scan for Issues’, and finally click ‘Fix selected issues’.
OOH – this is great! I normally promote Uniblue’s Registry cleaner; but, for it to do anything significant, you have to pay somwhere around $20 or $30 … so this is an excellent deal!
Thanks for sharing
Oh, Jason, you are a mind reader. I was thinking about emailing you with the very question that this post answers. I’ll be using CCleaner this evening!
