[RWP] setting a USB input?

Tue Feb 14 23:31:30 EST 2012

I've tried others, but I've used CCleaner for years, never had it cause 
problems with any Software.
Besides, before you clean the registry with it, you do
a registry backup.
Once, when a program contaminated the registry, and Windows Restore 
didn't fix the problems, I restored the registry to a previous date and 
it fixed the problem, so it's an extra insurance policy.

It's totally dependable and free, and very easy to use.
It simply zaps the orphan files and installers left behind, and invalid 
entries, but no registry cleaner will ever touch those Creative folders 
in the registry, because they are not invalid, they were correct when 
the Audigy was in place.
  Creative is just one of those makers that's slack about removing their 
software when you uninstall.
I'll bet if you look in Documents and Settings; your name; app data, and 
arrow down you'll find a Creative folder.
, Or in Win7, users; your name; apps; local, local o and roaming there 
will be a creative entry there somewhere.
Also look in Local settings.
