Easy Cleaner is also good--simple to use and default settings are very safe.

If you need to backup Erunt is a great free tool

ERUNT download and review - registry backup tool from SnapFiles

Oh thanks so much for the warning re: CCleaner. I don't need to add additional problems.

Glad to know the default settings are safe - I will try to restrain myself from playing with them. I think a registry backup is needed before I do anything else to this computer.
Thanks

I am a part time computer tech and have run CCleaner (with the default settings) on about 500 computers or so if I had to guess in the past year on both XP and Vista and haven't had one single problem as a result. I also pair it up with Registry Mechanic (which is a more thorough cleaner but not free).

Obviously, I can't say that there is a 100% chance that CCleaner can do no harm, but I have never once seen it create any problems...ever.

It does give you the option to back up your registry as well.

Thanks I did download and install CCleaner. I was surprised to discover what the index.dat file is (after a google search). Amazing what your computer hides from you.
My IDE controller is back so I am reluctant to restart my computer to clean the index.dat file until I absolutely have to because then I will lose my IDE controller.

Thanks for all the great links. I really like the ERUNT program.
Here is a link that I found that provides a lot more information than I even knew was on my computer i.e. passwords in the secrets and tools sections.
