Re: Meanwhile ...
I might put CCleaner on new builds and upgrades for a single tool-- the one for editing Windows start up -- which is much easier and safer than coaching somebody over the phone with regedit. Other than that, CCleaner doesn't keep Windows any cleaner than late model Windows and browsers do.
Most Windows users who rely on apps like CCleaner are indeed non-techies who have little knowledge of NTFS and how awesome it can be (when left to its own devices). But there's nothing dubious about hobbiests using a power tool or two. It's too bad, though, about their ignorant down-votes here at El Reg if the software is deemed less useful than it was for Windows 95. Aggresssive down- or up-voting too often has the odor of representatives on a mission.
