4. Open it.
5. Now this is VERY IMPORTANT if you want your cookies saved. So passwords and stuff are remembered.
Click on Options, then Cookies. Move all the ones you want like mirosoft.com, dell.com to the right.
IF YOU DO NOT CARE, skip this step.
6. Click on Cleaner
7. If you want a look first, click Analyze, then Run Cleaner. Otherwise click Run Cleaner. Click OK to the warning.
8. Click on Issues
9. Click on Scan For Issues
10. Click on Fix Selected Issues

This worked for some and not for others. If it does not work, do it again, but also try other registry cleaners like Toni Art's Easy Cleaner: http://www.toniarts.com/products.php
