070901 - Working today in the record for configuring c17, and found on the
070902 - Internet that denial of access to computer directories in Windows 7
070903 - can occur due to corrupt regestry entires.
070905 - ..
070906 - Found a freeware progream....

070914 - Piriform explains...
070916 - ..
070917 - CCleaner optimizes computer systems and privacy. Unused
070918 - temporary files are removed - allowing Windows to run faster
070919 - and restoring hard disk space. Traces of online Internet use
070920 - history are removed. Registry is scanned for errors and
070921 - correction. Ccleaner is very fast (normally taking less than a
070922 - second to run) and contains NO Spyware or Adware!
070924 - ..
070925 - 1. Clean free disk space
070926 -
070927 - When files are deleted, Windows removes the reference in
070928 - the disk index table, but does not delete the actual data
070929 - that made up the file on the disk. Over time, this data
070930 - will be overwritten as Windows writes new files to that
070931 - area of the drive.
070933 - ..
070934 - http://www.piriform.com/docs/ccleaner/using-ccleaner/wiping-free-disk-space
070936 - ..
070937 - Therefore, before new data overwrites deleted files they
070938 - can be reconstructed and restored. This is a benefit when
070939 - files are deleted by mistake, but presents invasion of
070940 - privacy and security for others to restore deleted files.
070941 - reconstruct all, or parts of files that you've deleted.
070943 - ..
070944 - CCleaner can wipe the free areas of your hard disk so that
070945 - deleted files can never be recovered.
070947 - ..
070948 - 2. Removes temporary and hidden files....

110417 - There is a clever marketing trick. The program is presented as being
110418 - free, and can be downloaded without charge. Speccy requests donation,
110419 - and the presentation gives the impression that Piriform has changed
110420 - from open source to selling the product. As a result, wound up paying
110421 - for the program. There is good cost benefit, so payment is justified,
110422 - given importance of ccleaner, per above, ref SDS 0 VN5G, and
