Two possibilities

If you have restore points going back to before you ran these cleaners, you can avail yourself of System Restore. If not, the only other solution would be to restore from a backup. If you have neither, then I'm afraid all you can do is learn from your mistake. Sorry. Sad
<span id="INSERTION_MARKER"> When you've gotten your system back like you want it, I urge you to get yourself an external hard drive and a good 3rd party backup program. You can set it up to do everything automagically at the time and frequency of your choice. 1 TB external hard drives are about $70 these days and a really good FREE backup program is the Easeus todo backup free which you can download fromhttp://www.todo-backup.com/products/home/free-backup-software.htm . That can save you a lot of time and frustration the next time something like this happens. Sooner or later it happens to all computers for one reason or another.

Reg cleaners

The common wisdom is......don't.

The ccleaner reg cleaner offers to backup the changes.
If you selected that.......navigate to the backup and restore.

Auslogics.......no idea.
