CCleaner auto-edits Windows Registry

Going back to an earlier is never really an option as you run all sorts of risks. I better option, if you're concerned, would be to use Wise Disk Cleaner.

Thanks but I never really liked that program. For a quick clean I prefer a (tweaked) Ccleaner with rules imported by winapp2ool.exe

For a deeper selective clean with backup/ restore I prefer HDcleaner, Privazer and the free version of RegOrganizer.

WDC - whenever I've used it in the past I've ended up uninstalling it after a few days. Nothing wrong with it really but I prefer more choice over what gets removed.

I guess it depends on how much work you are happy to put into this. For me, the above discussion seems a lot of work just to keep using ccleaner.
