About the only things I lose after cleaning are some sign in cookies in IE.
The reg cleaner is working well in Windows 7 and so is the file cleaner. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Home built OS Windows 7 Ult, Windows 8 Pro, CPU Q9650-4.275GHz, E8600 4.5GHz, E6750-3.8GHz Motherboard Evga 780i FTW Memory G.Skill PC2 9600 1200Mhz 5 5 5 15 2T Graphics Card GTX480 Sound Card Asus Xonar D2 Monitor(s) Displays HannsG Screen Resolution 1680X1050 Keyboard Logitech G15 Mouse Logitech G9 PSU ThermalTake Toughpower 1000Watt modular Case ThermalTake XaserV Cooling Xigmatek S1283 Hard Drives GSkill Phoenix Pro 120GB SSD Internet Speed T1 |

As stated above it's pretty safe. They have it working pretty good. The registry cleaner (from what i've read) isn't really going to give you noticeable performance enhancements with todays OSs. Back in Windows 95 and 98 it did...but I wouldn't even bother with the registry cleaner unless you are an expert. It's not going to give you much performance gain. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Keeps changing - (Custom) OS Windows 7 Professional x64 CPU Intel Core i7 860 Motherboard Gigabyte GA-P55-UD4P Memory 4GB DDR3 Mushkin 1600Mhz @ 7-8-7-20 Graphics Card MSI GTS250 1GB DDR3 Twin Frozr Sound Card Onboard realtek Monitor(s) Displays Samsung SyncMaster 24" P2450 + Samsung 20" 2033 Screen Resolution 1920 X 1080 and 1600 X 900 (#2 system 1440 X 900) Keyboard Gigabyte USB keyboard Mouse Microsoft wireless laser mouse 5000 PSU Corsair 750 HX Modular Case Lancool PC-K62 Cooling Cooler Master TX3 CPU cooler and 4-140mm and 1-120mm case Hard Drives Patriot Inferno 120GB SSD + 3 WD Blue 640GB drives Internet Speed 7 Mb down 1.5 up Other Info System #2: AMD Phenom II X6 1055T (Freezer 7 Pro cooler) - Gigabyte 880GMA-UD2H - WD 500GB Black - 9500GT (1GB) 500W OCZ modular PSU - Antec 200 case.

Yes, ccleaner can be used in Windows 7, one thing id be aware of, watch what the registry cleaner deletes, ive made this mistake 3 times now  , for some reason, after runnning reg cleaner, on next boot up, its loads to the windows animation, then after that, it just has mouse on the screen, and it cant b fixed with recovery.
My advice, use ccleaner by all means, just be aware of the registry cleaner, ive just steered clear from using it, just to be safe.

Untick the cookies option for IE.

I use CCleaner without problems on 7100. Another excellent, thorough and reliable registry cleaner that I use  all the time (most aggressive settings) without fail on all the builds is JV16 Powertools.

Why are you using registry cleaners on an OS you couldnt have had for even a month. If you do need it, stay away from computers and learn to manage one. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP DV2000 (Service tag 2613tu) OS Windozer 7 - 7068 CPU 1.5ghz C2D.

What are you talking about? That's a rather ignorant viewpoint.
I don't feel like arguing, but when you install and remove apps to try them out, test them or simply decide you don't want something any longer...using the correct removal procedure still leaves behind stuff in the registry most of the time.
I've already fixed apps that were broken and not allowed to re-install by cleaning the registry first.
Then there's always the "most recently used" stuff. Plain and simple. Anyone that uses a pc can benefit from cleaning their registry regularly, no matter how they use it. Quote: it looks cool, but it's looks like not free too. is it? No, it isn't fee unfortunately. I use it, think it's great so I figured to pass the word on.
