Clean Registry and Optimize PC
Those magical "one-touch registry cleaners" can definitely cause problems. I have never used CCleaner myself, but chances are, if you don’t know how to clean the registry manually, you probably don’t need to clean it anyways. Each problem you run across most likey has it’s own resolution.
When you have a problem, post the question, but look for someone who may have had a similar experience, or doesn’t simply go straight to the magic tools. RegCleaner, RegMechanic, RegVac, etcetera…
They can definitely help certain issues, but most ‘simple’ or program related issues can be resolved without touching the reg.
Cheers!

– Ok, i’ve already use the CCleaner and it works good, because it makes the performance of my computer faster since it deleted files, issues and registries that is not anymore needed.
– You may already delete the files that were already left since it does not anymore do a necessary function. One thing more is it will just use some of the memory of your hardrives so better delete those.
– But before deleting those files, try first to create a system restore so that if in case you encountered a problem after deleting the files, you can still resolve this by restoring your computer by the restoration point that you created. To create a restoration point, goto Start> All Programs> Accesories> System Tools> System Restore. Click ‘Create Restore Point’, then ‘Next’, then type any words that you cannot forget easily, for example your name, then click ‘Create’. So if you encounter a problem, you can restore your computer, follow the same instruction to go ‘System Restore’, then just click the ‘Restore My Computer to an Earlier Time’, then look the name that you created, then ‘Next’ and it will reboot automatically.
– In addition, after you clean up the files that is not needed and no problem incurred, defragment your hardrive to compact your files and replace the space of the files that were deleted. Thats it… done…. 🙂
