I would appreciate any advice on using the
Acronis System Clean Up utility.

Anne I can honestly say that I've never had any problem with System Clean Up
and I use it on a regular basis, especially prior to backing up my system.
Temporary files are simply that 'temporary' the only problem is Windows
leaves the files in the temporary folder rather than clearing them out once
applications have finished with them. I certainly would say that Acronis
System Clean Up is too aggressive.

I also use an application called CCleaner (Crap Cleaner) which clears out
temporary internet files, recycle bin 'and' temporary files (amongst other
things) and that is used 'every' day, so the temporary folder on my machine
is cleared by CCleaner just before I close down. Again I've never had any
problem using CCleaner.

we here are positive enough to offer help in various applications.

You cant get better advice than here, since no one has a reason to say
"acronis is great" if its not.

You cant get that in the acronis support page.

Luckily this newsgroup is open as all newsgroups should be, and we *CAN* say
vista is crap, and the worse thing that can happen for telling the truth is
to have
fanboys jumping up and down like monkeys or get the post deleted (from the
ms newserver ONLY) to hide the truth of vista, from a white collar cool aid
drinking microsoft employee.

news:er1ikpCGJHA.4784@xxxxxxJohn, I installed ccleaner from Tone Arts and cleaned up the unnecessary
files
with the exception of browser cookies. In the past every time I cleaned up
browser cookies by other means, I couldn't log on to my bank's site.

Some folks here, including yourself, maybe, seem to think using a registry
cleaner is never necessary. Do you agree?

In windows 98SE, I used one regularly wuthout any problem.

Thanks for the help. anne

CCleaner is not only a good cleanup utility, it's also a great Cookie
manager.

Take a few minutes and click on Options - Cookies.

You can choose which you want to keep. The rest will be deleted.

Sadly I'm not an advocate of registry cleaners, personally I think they
cause more problems than they actually cure. So my clear advice is - don't
use one.

As for your Bank details, as DDW has said in his post, below, try looking at
the cookie options in CCleaner and the tell CCleaner which cookies it needs
to keep. Once your Bank's cookie is on CCleaner's 'cookies to keep' list the
cookie will not be deleted.

It's not just a matter of not being necessary, it's a matter of
danger. Here's my standard post on the subject:

Registry cleaning programs are *all* snake oil. Cleaning of the
registry isn't needed and is dangerous. Leave the registry alone and
don't use any registry cleaner. Despite what many people think, and
what vendors of registry cleaning software try to convince you of,
having unused registry entries doesn't really hurt you.

The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner erroneously
removing an entry you need is far greater than any potential benefit
it may have.



Consider yourself fortunate. Regardless of what operating system you
are using, there's no guarantee that it will cause a problem *every*
time. The issue is that it *never* does anything worthwhile, and it
always presents a risk that it will cause a problem.
