I bought a new net-compuet and when I run the CCleaner (Windows) I get one file:
C:\documents and settings\Bob Tiger\local settings\temp\RtkBtMnt.exe 0.20MB
Everytime I "Run Cleaner" that file keeps returning. I cannot erase it.
I looked in the C;\document and settings\bob tiger\
and there is no "Local Settings" there.
Does anyone know what might be wrong here?
(I do notice that RealTek is on the computer (Realtek HD Audio Manager) but I don't even know what it is and don't even know if I need it.
My husband and I are new at this.

When I click on the "Check for Updates" in lower right of CCleaner, my Firefox opens first. Is there any way I can disable Firefox opening? I don't use Firefox; instead I use IE 7.
Please advise and thank you.

I notice on my desktop (WinXP sp3; IE 7) when I go to check for updates, the IE 7 window opens first and then CCleaner checks for updates.
However, when i do the same on my Vista notebook, the Mozilla Firefox window opens first and then CCleaner checks for updates. It also mentions something like: "We notice you are not using Firefox as your default browser. Would you like to make firefox your default browser?"
How can I change the Vista CCleaner so that it opens IE 7, the same as my desktop?
Please advise and thank you.

I downloaded a 'new' CCleaner on 11/26/08 = 2.14.750.
However, I notice another 'new' CCleaner today which is also marked 214.
What is happening please with two "ccsetup214_slim.exe" new downloads?

EVNLLAIZ is a temporary folder. After reading Andavari's post I took a closer look at the folder name and realized its not a name. Its 8 random alpha characters.
The file was downloaded to the temporary folder and once complete, moved to the location you chose to save it. Despite how it appears, you didnt 'double' download the file.
Thanks all.
So I can presume that the EVNLLAIZ was removed from my Vista after the download?
Guess we'll never know why this happens on one machine (Vista; IE7) and not on the other (WinXP; IE6), which were both downloaded while IE was open; and one after the other.
-
The downloaded file is being moved from a temp location to "C:\Downloads". I assume EVNLLAIZ is your user account name and that C:\Downloads is where you chose to save the file. In any event I see this behavior all the time running Vista Business Edition. But for me it only happens with very large files. Otherwise smaller files are moved so quickly I dont see the progress dialog.
Never saw that before. Either on my WinXP or on this (new) Vista Premium.
I have never heard of the "EVNLLAIZ," therefore, not my 'user account.'
I save all my downloads to my "Downloads" folder and they all go directly there when I download them; that is why I question why this "EVNLLAIZ" 'double' download.
Also, didn't see before when I downloaded previous version.

I downloaded the CCleaner Slim Build 2.11.636 today to my WinXP desktop with no problem.

Do you have Microsoft Office? If you poke around in your START/PROGRAMS list, do you find an entry for Publisher, probably under Office, but perhaps separate?
Only thing I see:
-
I cannot be certain without actually looking on your PC, but it appears that many, if not all, of these entries might be associated with Microsoft Publisher ActiveX, VB, and VBA controls.
Do you use that program? Did you perhaps have a trial version that came with your version of Office that you never upgraded to be able to use? Did you maybe uninstall publisher or upgrade it yourself to a newer version?
No, I do not use Microsoft Publisher; never did; don't even know what it is.
They only thing I changed, as I said (prior to running the Registry scan with the new CCleaner 210) previoulsy, was that I installed SP3 for my WinXP.
And the same 21 Registry items found on this desktop are the exactly same as the 21 Registry items foung on my notebook (both of them having SP3 recently installed).

Looked at one of the files mentioned in my Registry (CCleaner) removals and it shows as:
-
Well, i think they are safe to delete, since it says "Missing Typelib reference". Didn't pay attention to that before. They are not empty keys, but there's no reference to Typelib value, and that's why they are invalid. So, just go a head and delete them, but keep the backup, just in case.
Thank you. Would you be kind enough as to tell me how I can locate these "HKCR\Interace" files on my coputer?
-
I looked into the registry on my PC and decided that the enties were in fact unneeded on my PC. There are a lot of entries under HKCR\INTERFACE still; this did not delete many of them at all. And, HKCR\INTERFACES has been around at least back to Windows/2000 as a registry entity.
Where would I look on my computer to find these "HKCR\Interface" files (mentioned in my CC Registry Scan), to see if they are 'empty?

ERUNT makes a backup automatically once per day. 30 days of backups are saved by default and then the program automatically deletes the oldest backup.
So, we don't have to do:
"When you see the message box regarding Erunt running at Startup, click yes."
-
If you guys don't mind me adding my two penneth. Follow the directions in the link from Hazel with one exception.
When you see the message box regarding Erunt running at Startup, click yes.
This way, every time you boot, a backup copy of your registry is made, and Erunt is configured to only make this backup once a day, regardless of how many times you boot in one day.
It makes no noticable increase in your boot time, and is the way mine has been configured since I installed it. Takes the "remembering to do it" out of the equation.
If you've already installed it, and want to do this, just uninstall it, and do it again.
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
#1- Would the 'backups' keep building-up, or would one backup delete the previous backup?
#2- And would the backup be put in the Erunt folder with that day's date?
-
I think there's 33 entries, but the backup file is showing sub-keys too.
Noticed that all those new "invalid" entries are from HKCR/Interface path. To be honest, i think there's something weird now.
I did some random search of those entries from Andavari's backup file and i don't have those entries on my registry. I think they are related to either SP3 or/and Vista. Do you have SP3 or Vista, Andavari? I have XP SP2.
Edit: Ok, here's an example from Andavari's backup file:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Interface\{01110A02-3E00-11D2-8470-0060089874ED}]@="ISdcCtlCmd"[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Interface\{01110A02-3E00-11D2-8470-0060089874ED}\ProxyStubClsid]@="{00020424-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}"[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Interface\{01110A02-3E00-11D2-8470-0060089874ED}\ProxyStubClsid32]@="{00020424-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}"[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Interface\{01110A02-3E00-11D2-8470-0060089874ED}\TypeLib]@="{01110A01-3E00-11D2-8470-0060089874ED}""Version"="1.0"It's showing the main key ({01110A02-3E00-11D2-8470-0060089874ED}) and the sub-keys; ProxyStubClsid, ProxyStubClsid32 and TypeLib.
I don't have any idea, why it's classified as invalid key. Basicly the first key is found as invalid and the sub-keys are removed along with it. So in this case, i think there's no reference to key {01110A02-3E00-11D2-8470-0060089874ED} or to value "ISdcCtlCmd" anywhere in the registry/system. But anyway, it's a bit strange, that it's found as invalid, because it does include sub-keys and values.
The 21 items I found after the Registry Scan with the NEW CCleaner 210, were found AFTER I installed SP3 on my WinXP desktop AND notebook. The same 21 exceptions found after the Registry Scan with the NEW CCleaner 210 were the same on both my desktop and notebook. The desktop and notebook each had the same 21 Registry exceptions.
What do I do? Should I delete the 21 exceptions on the desktop and on the notebook? (My husband restored them last night.)

Alice some of your questions about ERUNT can be answered in the link I posted
http://www.silentrunners.org/sr_eruntuse.html
Some info here on system restore questions
http://www.5starsupport.com/faq/xp-system-restore.htm
Some people don't have sys restore monitoring their D drive and just have it turned on for the c drive ( or the drive their OS is on)
Thanks very much.
I didn't see anything about the following and wonder if you could take a moment to let me know if I am correct?
#2- If we wanted Erunt to perform 'automatic' updates in the future, we would have to add it to the Scheduled Tasks (in WinXP). Is that correct? There is no place within Erunt that would have this feature (put check in a box)?
If we wanted to do a Registry backup, we would open the Erunt program and do it from there - correct?

Yes AliceZ I did see the many registry items in Registry scan on both my XP Home and my Pro systems and I chose to have them deleted.
Did you see the many registry items after the Registry Scan (with the new CCleaner 210) AFTER you installed the SP3?
I looked at my desktop and my notebook and both of them show the same 21 Registry items after the Registry Scan with the NEW CCleaner 210 - after installing the SP3 on desktop and notebook.
Do you remember if had about 21 items and if they were the same as mine?
-
I didn't have the same from just glancing at it. This is what was found on my system:
Sorry to say I am getting very confused.
There have been quite a few postings following my original question. I had 21 exceptions after the Registry Scan in the newest CCleaner 210.
All of them are: Registry Key - HKCR\Interface.
I just wanted to know if it was OKAY that I deleted them, or should I restore them now?
ANDAVARI: I notice that you said in one post that you found 33 exceptions and deleted them all. Were those 33 found after the Registry Scan (with the new 210 Cleaner)?
And then in your last post you included about 100 files. Were they also found after the Registry Scan (with the new 210 Cleaner)?
As I said, all my 21 exceptions, found after the Registry Scan (with the new 210 CCleaner), begin with: HKCR\Interface (in my image above).
Should I reinstall them? I am a beginner and all of this is very confusing. Please help and explain so a beginner, like me, can understand.
Thank you.

I evaluated these entries and am fairly confident that they are OK to clean out.
Would you please tell me which 'entries' you evaluated? Did you evaluate the (21 total) entries in my image (above)?
Or were you referring to some other entries?
Thank you.
Alice
-
Thats right. You did nothing wrong.
I get those entries after I delete an application with Add/Remove Programs so they must be residual registry entries that get left over.
It looks like you are learning fast.
Did you download and install the newest CCleaner upgrade/update?
Did you also see the many 'new' items in the Registry Scan as I saw in mine (picture above)?
I wonder if anyone else downloaded the new upgrade to CC (210) and saw these results after the Registry Scan (21 I believe)?

Hi Alice,
Windows is supposed to create a restore point automatically every 24 hours, but this does not always happen for some people (of which I am one). To make sure it is turned on go to Control Panel-> System -> System Restore tab. This will show if it is turned on and you can turn it off it you want. Do yourself a favour while you are there. By default 12% of your disk is allocated to restore points so gain a chunk of space by moving the slider so that 1% (the lowest you can go) or about 1 to 2 gig of the disk is allocated to restore points. This will give you enough space for 1 or 2 months worth of restore points, which is more than enough.
ERUNT can make automatic restore points if you schedule it with the task scheduler. If you don't know how to do this, let me know and I'll post a step by step for you.
Yes, the ERUNT installer does an automatic install. I don't remember if it make a desktop icon but I do know that it creates a Start Menu entry. Creating a desktop icon is very easy. Again, let me know if you need instructions.
Thanks very much. Since I am new at this, I am consdiering now whether to install Erunt, or not. Installing new programs really scare me.
#1- When it is first loaded/installed does it automatically make a backup of the Registry?
#2- If we wanted Erunt to perform 'automatic' updates in the future, we would have to add it to the Scheduled Tasks. Is that correct? There is no place within Erunt that would have this feature (put check in a box)?
#3- Regarding the restore point disk allocation. I see C: and D: in my "System Restore." Do I have to do anything with the D: drive? (12% Max 525MB)
-
That's because there's new registry cleaning features as detailed in this post with the change log.
Thank you.
#1-So, I did nothing wrong by deleting them (and creating the backup)?
#2-These additional entries found after the CC Registry Scan with the new 210 CC update just means that CC is checking for more items in the Registry now.
Alice
Here is copy of the entries that were found after the Registry Scan:
#3- Does it look as though these are the additional files that CC found because of the "new registry cleaning features?"

I just downloaded the newest CCleaner update 210 slim.
I checked Registry prior to the download and there were no items mentioned.
However, after the download I checked the Registry (in CCleaner) again and there were several items mentioned.
Did anyone else notice the same thing? (I can post image of the Registry entries that were found.)
I hope I did right by deleting all of them (saving backup file).
Please advise as I am concerned about these Registry entries after the download/install of the new update for CCleaner.

File doesn't exist?
in CCleaner

Yes, it belongs to Realtek. But I don't know whether the file belongs in my Temp folder. Does it?
Somewhere on the web I saw:
"RtkBtMnt.EXE - File remaining from Realtek audio driver installation."
Now I wonder if the file can be deleted or it should be transferred into the RealTek folder?
