Category Description
File types Some file types refer to programs that are no
longer available on your system.
Shared files The registry contains references to files that were
used by multiple applications that no longer exist
on this system.
Help files The registry contains entries for help files that are
no longer available on the system.
Fonts References were found to fonts that are no longer
available on the system.
Software Some of the programs listed under Add and
Remove Programs in the Control Panel do not
have an uninstall program. These entries will not
work.
Start menu Some of the shortcuts in the Start menu point to
files that are no longer available on the system,
and/or references in the registry point to folders
that have been removed from the Start menu.
Shortcuts Some of the shortcuts on your system point to
missing targets.
History lists Some entries in the history list for standard dialogs
point to files that no longer exist.
As you can see, deleted files can leave behind many “ghosts”
in your registry. TuneUp RegistryCleaner finds these
orphaned entries and can delete them.
You can call up detailed information for each of the problems
found on your system by clicking one of the individual
categories in the Categories bar.
The program will then show all programs in the category with
a short description. Select one of the entries in the list to view
a more detailed problem analysis at the bottom of the
window. The Details button must be selected in the toolbar in
order for the section with the problem analysis to be visible.
