Hi,

I have tried cleaning the registry with the CCleaner this happen: first, I have clicked on the scan" button and when the scanning has finished I tried clicking the "fix issus" button . Second, I have encountered a message which requests whether I want to save a backup of these changes or not. Third, I agreed to save the changes. Then, when the prgramme fixed the issus I have close it. After that, I have went to the file of backup and run it to see what will happen because I am quite surprised what that file is for, I have encountered a message like in the second picture. I clicked on OK . Next, I open the CCleaner again and click the scan button. Finally: I spotted that the problems which have been fixed came back again to appears in the list of probems in that programme. However, when open the CCeaner immediately and made a scan for issue before I run the file of backup for the changes I have spotted that there isn't any issue appeared in the list.

My inquiry what is the benefit form that file of backup and must I keep it
Finally: why when I have run the file of backup, the file run immediately? I mean what I should do if I want to see/ browse the changes which are saved in that file.







Thanks in advance,

No need to backup in CCleaner.
Use a seperate software- "Wise registry cleaner"(download it fist),you can clean your regitry, and it will automatically keep the regitry values undeleted.

The backup serves as a safety net in the case that the cleaning action makes a mistake. Double-clicking on the file launches the program to restore the registry to the state it was before it was cleaned.

You might be able to inspect the backup with a text editor, but this will not tell you much without being able to compare the state of the registry as it is with the state represented in the backup file.

Windows itself can also archive registry hives, and these can be compared using regedit.exe. I'm not sure that the CCleaner backup file format is identical to the Microsoft hive format such that they can be directly compared.
