Start, Run, command.com /c deltree /y %temp% Then try to run CCleaner again. Let me know how it goes.

Because I don't want to.

Oh snap.

Yeah, I'm definitely gonna have to spill my beans when I get home...

I leave it on, until I have to turn it off to move to a new apartment It has a 'blank screen' screensaver set that comes up after 30 minutes - and that is it. No standby, no turning off parts of my hardware, etc. Doesn't even turn my monitor off. I physically turn the monitor off when I walk away from it.

Yes, simply add C:\Program Files\Netscape as a junk directory

Concurred.

Sorry Adavari, I doubt that's it But, let me throw my two cents in: http://djlizard.net/daf-scripten2k.rar Checkmark everything in section #1 and give it a shot (reboot LATER if it prompts you) and then if that fails, checkmark #2. Hell, you can checkmark everything if you want, it's safe

^ I agree. I don't ever turn my computer off.

New>Text File>file.crap Highlight the file, look at its properties, blah blah. Diddle around for about 60 seconds, then run CCleaner's issues scan... blam. Unused file extension: .crap

Both programs are equally annoying. But they do their job. They almost do exactly the same job.. but Spybot's teatimer is much more vocal and restrictive... I actually can't stand it, but I'm a tech

Apparently in XP, if a file simply exists, it will automatically get its extension added into the classes root. heh.

Somehow, I knew it would, that's why I posted the source. What you see above is the beauty of Pascal! Now, that source is pretty nasty - no checking ANYWHERE (but you can't really screw it up with bad params anyway)) - and I could have made it toggle your tray (instead of needing explicit 'open'/'close') but I don't understand mci API yet. I looked it up to do this project, and I was like WTF. But Win32 API is pretty damn cool in general. I learned Borland's version of Object Pascal with integrated editor -- Delphi -- in like 5 minutes. I already knew Borland's version of Pascal (specifically, Turbo Pascal 7) which ROCKED MY SOCKS when I was 15. Pascal, Delphi, Object Pascal... they're all so easy. They make sense, they promote stable, structured code, and they are strongly typed (i.e., "wordy") and are easy to read, and are usually pretty easy to figure out. The above was kinda hard to read because Win32 API is none of those things. I've written several other programs, including: Tarun's Hijack this Converter - his first version was Visual Basic, and I ported it to Delphi in 48 hours (having not known Visual Basic (at all!), about two weeks of casual Delphi, and obviously not working on it for 48 straight hours) - I did it as an exercise and an example : A) I needed to learn Delphi and had nothing to program, no good ideas, and, I wanted to show Tarun how impressive Delphi is, and how fast you can learn it. I figured it'd be good if he learned Delphi using his own program. He's been updating the source ever since. The Digital Doctor: a specialized program used on my Tech CD as an interface to the installation and launching of hundreds of tricks and programs. -- ongoing, private, proprietary, and closed-source Dial-a-fix: a program which can fix a couple dozen 'known-issues', and can automate the installation or repair of several Windows-critical services (windows installer, windows update automatic update, cryptography service, etc etc) -- ongoing, public, and closed-source (current build's always at - http://djlizard.net/daf.exe) -- ("supporting" files not yet uploaded, but they will be at http://djlizard.net/daf/ when I get a chance) and a few odds and ends for my family (Nessa's Calendar - low code, mostly form properties -- it's just a Delphi MonthCalendar(ComCtls) component) oh, I made a secure shredder program (and DLL) that I was going to show MrG, to possibly wring CCleaner's found files through. I'm not sure if A) it works well (seems to work fine here, but I haven't wrung thousands of junk files through it like CCleaner would) and if it's fast enough, etc) so I haven't really opted to show it to him yet

the source (object pascal) : program ejectcd;{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}uses SysUtils, MMSystem;var str, str2: string;begin if (ParamCount < 2) then halt; str := lowercase(trim(ParamStr(1))); str2 := 'open cdaudio!' + uppercase(trim(ParamStr(2))) + ' alias thedrive'; mciSendString(PAnsiChar(trim(str2)), nil, 0, 0); if (str = 'close') then mciSendString('set thedrive door closed wait', nil, 0, 0); if (str = 'open') then mciSendString('set thedrive door open wait', nil, 0, 0);end.

Nope.

If you need any features or want anything changed just bump this thread

CCleaner *doesn't* list things that you shouldn't remove, so how much dumber should it get? 100% of everything it finds is safe to delete

Yeah it's a command line program. You put the program somewhere, then make a shortcut to it... So you right click somewhere, new, shortcut, then you browse, point at cdtray.exe, then it makes a long string of the path and exe that has quotes around it... well OUTSIDE the quotes, you put the parameters.. for example, if your shortcut looked like: "C:\windows\system32\cdtray.exe" You'd change it to say "C:\windows\system32\cdtray.exe" open D: and hit next, and the shortcut wizard will then always send that command when you use that shortcut. You could name the shortcut CLOSE D DRIVE. You could even make the shortcut from inside of the quick launch folder (right click in a blank area of your quick launch toolbar and choose Open Folder, then make the shortcut in there). I recommend putting cdtray.exe in C:\windows\system32 It's not PRETTY looking, but it could be if I spent more than 5 minutes coding it after reading your post

Nah don't bother with that.... I made a small program for you. http://djlizard.net/cdtray.exe Send it commands like: cdtray.exe open D: cdtray.exe close E: It can't [yet] tell if a drive is already open or closed, so you have to send it the right command. If you REALLY want me to, I'll try to figure it out (or you could just always manually open it, but use cdtray.exe to close it) Oh and you have a very valid point about not wanting to push the drive back in by hand. It can wreak havoc on the treads and gears with each little push on the tray.

So I can clean Internet Explorer's cache on my Slackware box? I don't think porting is an option... I don't think an "auto-cleaner" program in Linux would be very safe, effective, useful, ...etc

agumon: Start, Run... regsvr32 /n /i:U shell32

the dialogs look so fake

not a waste of space -- free space is not for saving, it's for using. Yes, Windows and all subsequent win32 apps, use the pagefile extensively (even when RAM is not all used up). Setting it to a static value that is 1.5x or 2x your RAM is a great idea.

oh snap
