1. (orig. 49.) Using the mouse wheel or the scroll area of a laptop, it is possible to make the Main Window get stuck in a very long scrolling loop where the category selector on left keeps moving rapidly.
* Not Reported (AFAIK) / Known Issues
1. The Main Window is a few pixels too short to fully show the "Registry health" text on some system setups.
2. A Message Window can pop up during Initial Setup to show an error message.
3. Double clicking a file in File Tool should open the file in the associated program, however, double clicking a file doesn't usually do anything.

15. "Control hidden items" window reports funny names for ignored items, such as "2 name", when it would be more logical to just show "software name".
16. Clean and fix my computer tool reports "Scan finished ..." even if the scan was aborted.
Other Improvements Done (since previous Beta)
1. The Warning and Tip panels now have a X button at the top right corner for closing them, the method of clicking anywhere on the panel of Beta4 wasn't logical.
2. Improved the accuracy of the Error Severity field of the Registry Cleaner.
3. Improved the efficency in which the Registry Cleaner and Registry Information tools work with multiple processors. In other words, these tools are now faster on computers with a new multi-core processor.
4. Moved backups created by the Startup Manager to the "Other Backups" section of the Backup tool.
5. Improved the filtering of the Software Uninstaller.
6. New icon for the Live Support Offline text in the Main Window.
7. Added an icon and description for the case where there is no handbook available.
8. Added two separator lines to the Main Window.
9. Greatly improved the way Temp files are listed by the Clean and Fix my computer tool.
CLASSIFIED AS NOT A BUG:
46. Startup Manager –> Create new: when you add a task to HKLM Run/RunOnce, it is actually put in HKLM Wow6432Node. (x86)
Steps: Run the tool, click New, check HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Run or RunOnce, fill the Caption and Command line fields and click OK. Confirm with regedit.
CANNOT REPRODUCE, THUS CANNOT FIX
5. History Cleaner: Access Violation in "Control hidden items" while using "Never show".
