Ccleaner - Virtual Machine

It is definately wise advice to stear clear from the registry unless you know
what you are doing. Even then I find it critical to have a registry backup
handy in case I delete a needed registry key. Have a nice night.

:
: For example, I could write a script that would automatically delete
: all
: files in TEMP at startup, telling it to "DELETE C:\Windows\TEMP\*.*"
:
: That would work on 99% of the machines out there, because that
: really is
: where the TEMP environment is located. But what if I have changed my
: TEMP environment to D:\TEMP, and because I'm seriously anal, I've
: also
: included a DELTREE C:\Windows\TEMP command at the proper moment in
: startup to get rid of the empty TEMP folder that gets automatically
: created in the Windows folder, regardless of where the TEMP
: environment
: is. When the program attempts to complete the "DELETE
: C:\Windows\TEMP\*.*" command, it can't--there *isn't* any
: C:\Windows\TEMP. Error time. And if there isn't any code to handle
: the
: error, you get the report you got (in that particular case, anyway.)
:
: To handle my hypothetical error, I might include code at the
: beginning
: of the script like this:
: ON ERROR RESUME NEXT
:
: That tells the program to continue, even if there's an error. To
: handle
: the hypothetical problem above, I would put in code after that
: Delete
: command that says:
:
: IF ERR THEN
: ERR CLEAR
: (find out where the blasted TEMP files are stored.)
: (repeat delete command)
: END IF
:
: (No, that isn't very good or accurate coding, above. It's a
: simplified
: example. To do that task I'd first determine where the TEMP files
: are
: supposed to be located and then make sure the path actually existed,
: before I even gave the Delete command.)
