How do I clean issues concerning software paths which my registry cleaner will not do? It tells me I must do so manually. Please, help me to do so. Thanks to all who have assisted me before
 
Solution
You can use regedit to get to the software paths.
Start > Click on Search Programs and Files > Type in regedit, hit enter.
Be careful in next steps.
Bring up your registry cleaner and look up which entries it wants manually cleared.
Compare to entries in regedit.
Make sure they are exact matches to your registry cleaner and delete them.

Note however: You may not have to delete them thou. You can prolly leave them and it won't harm anything.

Greetings. I am a novice and recent stroke victim. I am a little slower now in my ability to think and analyze problems...mentally. I really don't know how to do as you suggest. I went to the regedit and also opened my Registry Cleaner, and, although I see 24 software path problems which it shows could not be cleaned or deleted or ?, It does not explain the how to delete or clean them. Can you help me, please?

Hmm, in your case, it may be better to just leave the entries there. Messing around in regedit has the potential of seriously damaging the windows installation if not done properly. If your computer is running fine then you should be fine leaving the entries there.
