1: Start the Program


Click on the Registry Cleaner entry in the main menu Ashampoo WinOptimizer Platinum Suite.

Read the information on the start screen of the Registry Cleaner module carefully.

2: Adjust the Module Options

Only make changes here if you know what you're doing! Most users can skip this section and go directly to Scan.


Select the Options button and check that the search options correspond to what you want to search for. See Options for details.


Select the Drives button and select all the drives you want to include in your scans. Only registry entries referring to selected drives will be included in the results lists.

It's best to exclude CD-ROM drives because all references to CDs not currently in the drive will be classed as redundant and marked for deletion. (Many games add references to CDs to the registry.)
3: Perform the Scan



Select the Start button and then select Start to perform the scan. Now be patient, this may take a few minutes on large hard drives!


If you are not happy with the result of the scan or want to try out some other scan options just click on the New Search button.
You can repeat the scan with the same options (which does not really make sense) by clicking on the Start button or click on the Options button which is now in sight and change the options for the next scan.

The Results screen is displayed automatically when the scan is completed.
