Readme contradiction

In the Dealing with Startup Processes thread, you warn:

chaslang said:

NOTE: DO NOT use Ccleaner or Glary Utilities to control startups either since they just makes use of MSconfig registry keys which you do not want to use. And these registry keys belong to Microsoft not to Ccleaner or Glary Utilities.

However, in the Basic computer maintenance everyone should do thread, it says:

Startup items:

[...]

CCleaner also has a startup manager. Click tools, then startup. You can delete any unneeded items from there. Be careful, there is no backup, so either look up the program on Google or ask on our forums if you want to know what an item is for. Because the startup loads drivers and some programs you may need, be careful removing items you are unsure of.

Which one is correct? I would suggest having both posts give consistent information. Just trying to help.

We know about this but it is not really a contradiction.

The Computer Maintenance thread was written before the Disable button existed in CCleaner and all it was saying was that you could Delete (permanently) any startups that you don't need or want to load. It does not say use Ccleaner to be a Startup Manager.

Deleting unwanted startups is exactly what the Dealing with Startup Processes link tells you to do. And it also goes into more detail and states not to use CCleaner, Glary Utilities or MSConfig as a startup manager.
