  1. You can set windows to do this itself on shutdown (albeit only a single pass wipe).

    Control Panel -> Admistrative Tools -> Local Security Settings -> Shutdown: Clear Virtual Memory Pagefile -> Enabled

    :)

  2. Well all I know is previous versions have never touched my windows update log but this one does so will not use it. Have never seen windowsupdate log when cleaning but this new version does not show it either but does change the text language and you will not get it back to read in English. As I said many previous versions of CCleaner have never touched this log on both of my computers running windows XP Home edition service pack 2. :angry:

    CCleaner has always tried to delete this file but under normal situations it can't as the file is locked all the time the automatic update service is (don't know why it's not that important, Windows Update runs perfectly without it). If you want CCleaner to delete it you need to disable the automatic update service temporeraly.

    Not sure why the new version of CCleaner would be scrambling it though.

  3. CCleaner's behaviour towards locked files is something that shoud be changed by Mr G. There are many files that CCleaner tries to delete aswell as windowsupdate.log that cannot be deleted as they are locked e.g. TVDebug.log. I feel whenever CCleaner comes across a file it can't delete they should be treated the same as the Index.dat files and marked for deletion on next reboot. As the above method is quite longwinded and iratating. :)

  4. Well, there is one file with name "WindowsUpdate.log" (It's located on the Windows' folder - C:\Windows\WindowsUpdate.log for example)..... I suggest to add a function for CCleaner - to clean this file. It's really can helpful for lots of peoples.

     

    CCleaner does attempt to clean this file but it's locked by windows and therfore cannot be deleted without terminating the proccess that is locking it. I run CCleaner at shutdown after closing all running programs and terminating all none critical Proccesses and it gets deleted.

     

    Edit: just found an easier method.

    control panel -> administrative tools -> services -> automatic updates -> double click or right click & choose properties - > stop -> ok

    run CCleaner

    restart automatic updates

    control panel -> administrative tools -> services -> automatic updates -> double click or right click & choose properties - > start -> ok

    ;)

  5. Why not? The new version of Java have already overwrote the old registry items and files in the windows directorie, so I don't see why it's not wise to add this to CCleaner, it can safe a lot of time.

    Actually Java installs its self in directories named after the version and leaves the old one excatly were it was. The Same Goes for the registry entries.
