It fixes all kind of errors in the registry, but it can't bring back deleted entries.

Yes you can without a problem.
Keep in mind that there is no such thing as a perfect registry cleaner/optimizer.

Yes, it can if you have create a backup first as CCleaner is asking you to make before it makes any changes by default.

I am using CCleaner for many years and never experienced that it removed something that it shouldn't. You will have to select the "register cleaning" multiple times though before it has cleaned everything it can. Just let it scan/fix things untill nothing more is found. Reboot after that to ensure all changes are effective. This last thing (reboot) is needed due to way windows works and has nothing to do with CCleaner (or any other registry cleaner)

for what drive wiper is used inside tools menu in cclener
Title: Re: free registry cleaner and registry fixer
Post by: Eddy on February 15, 2011, 12:50:00 PM
Drive wiper will overwrite the diskspace where a file was with 0's and 1's to make it more difficult to recover a deleted file. It takes time and is not needed unless you have "for the president eyes only" files that are deleted on your system :-) Besides, all those wiping utils only make it harder to recover a deleted file, but there are companies that are able to recover over 99.99% of deleted files. For normal users there is no need to wipe space.

Some said that it's too aggressive, but I never tried it.

I know that, Eddy. And I almost expected to run into this misunderstanding... ;)
I meant it can't bring back entries other programs/users deleted. It sure can bring back entries, it deleted, if you made a backup first. Hope it's clearer now.

Unless you're an expert, the best thing to do with your registry is to leave it alone.
Any time savings realized by cleaning your registry are virtually unnoticeable. A careless error while doing a registry cleanup can result in an unbootable system.
Your system, Your choice - my simple advice:
"if it ain't broke, don't fix it,"

I rather doubt that it can as ccleaner isn't a specialist registry cleaner, it is more looking for orphan registry entries and even then it doesn't go into too much depth to prevent your removing something crucial.

I think the ccleaner's term of Scan for Issues, followed up by Fix Selected Issues is somewhat poor, I have never seen anything that it 'fixed' as all fixes seem to simply mean removal of that particular key.

I also doubt there are many registry cleaners that do repairs (I guess that's why they are called cleaners), most wouldn't know what key had been deleted as the registry and its permutations is massive.

If something has been deleted from registry, you would have to know what it was to try and find a means of manual rebuilding.

Wise Registry Cleaner also seems to be pretty good for as long as you clean only "Safe Entries". It also comes with registry compactor integrated in it.

I dont agree with that, iv tried a few version's of wise reg cleaner before and only cleaned safe entry's and it has really buggered my system every time, (not recommended)
