is it bad that ive used ccleaner many times to clean out the registry and never chose to back it up?

November 21, 2009

my computer is running ok it seems except for the fact i cant defrag just now because my c drive is saying its full and theres not enough space to use the defrag program , so now im having a hard time wondering what files i should delete on my c drive.

i keep using c cleaner to clean the registry but ive never backed anything up, my computer continues to operate ok, could i have done anything harmful to the computer ? would i know if i had ?

alsoo a user said this in my last question in response to not being able to defrag my c drive :

” There is a thing where you can buy in stores and you plug it into your computer and stor everything on it. Then delete the things on your computer you can take it where ever you go and have your work ”

has anyone heard of a gadget like hes describing ?

my operating system is windows xp btw, i cant afford vista right now.

Parents, can you help us(stupid 20 characters rule!)?

Hubby has an assignment for his English class. He has to "invent" something and write a report on it. Being new parents, we came up with software that will tell you what your baby needs when it cries. Lol. It doesn’t have to be realistic, it’s kind of a fun project, I think. Anyway, it will be a baby outfit that will hook up to the computer through a USB. Once the baby begins to cry you just hook up the outfit(with baby in it) to the computer and run the software…it will then run a complete diagnostics test on the baby and let you know why the baby is crying and what you need to do to make baby happy again. This is the outline we came up with…
INTRODUCTION
I. Relate to audience
A. Talk about my experiences with my child
B. Discuss others who have had the same experiences
II. Describe the product I am inventing
A. Software
B. Hardware

BODY
I. Statistics of misinterpretations of baby’s needs
A. Common misinterpretations
II. Describing the software
A. How it works
B. Instructions for use
III. Describing the hardware
A. How it works
B. Instructions for use
IV. Advantages/Disadvantages
A. Advantages
B. Disadvantages
V. Businesses most likely to use product
A. Daycares
B. Foster Homes
C. Social Services

CONCLUSION

We are having a hard time finding the statistics of misinterpretations of baby’s needs…I guess what we were going for here was to see how many parents misinterpret their childs cry from time to time, I’m really not sure. I don’t think we thought it through too well. Any suggestions for where we can find something like that? We have to show our research if we are stating facts so I need the source. We can change it too if you have any other ideas. Actually, any ideas or suggestions you have for the entire project are more than welcome. I’m actually having fun with this:) Thanks!
