Thank you for reporting, more fixes to come later today.

The following bugs are now fixed:

* Enter shortcuts didn't work because of the new GUI. With the bug fixed, you can start e.g. the Registry Cleaner by pressing Ctrl + Enter which always clicks the tool's Start button.

* Registry Cleaner's Fix function reported the number of removed entries and keys incorrectly. If the tool removed, say, 3 keys and 4 entries it would report to had removed 4 keys and 3 entries.

* Registry Cleaner wasn't able to remove all types of registry errors (mainly MRU), instead the same errors were shown on each scan.

jv16 wrote
These bugs are now fixed:

* Registry Cleaner, handles REG_MULTI_SZ data type entries incorrectly

* Startup Manager, user changes not saved when tool closes

* Tools menu, in tool windows, says Settings, should say Backup tool (v.1.7.0.414)

The fixed version should be out tomorrow.
