I thought it got fixed in the last release. Just tested and here is what happened... Internet Explorer: Pinned items remained Windows Explorer: Pinned items removed Notepad: Pinned items remained Win Media Player: Pinned items remained MS Office 2007 (Access, Excel, Word): Pinned items removed PowerArchiver: Pinned items removed

Some interesting info. I had a problem with W7's reliability monitor not being able to collect data. I wonder if it could have been related to the logs? As of now I have IIS unchecked and the reliability monitor works fine. But its only a suspicion. Im adding an exclusion in case I forget. Thanks for the heads up

Here it is again, but its the same file uploaded to the same server. Easy_WinApper.zip Easy_WinApper.zip

CC dosent wipe/clean the page file.

Which version of CC are you using? Im running CC v2.25.1025 and IE8 on Win7 x86. Maybe that info whill help someone else try to figure out whats going on.

I dont have a single MSN cookie and I just visited msn.com and I was already signed in. Live and MSN are one in the same to a degree. Try adding Live sites to the cookies to keep list.

If the file(s) dont exist, it should be safe to delete the registry entry. Just make a backup when CCleaner prompts you to. If I recall, I searched for this a while back and found that the files are related to the Extensible Authentication Protocol for a wireless network.

You would have to use WSH to run CC with the switch, then launch the browser. Here is the code to get you started. You only need change the URL to your prefered site. Option ExplicitDIM Wsh, IESet Wsh = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")'Run CC with the auto switch. Wait for it to finish then open the browserWsh.Run "C:\Programs\CCleaner\CCleaner.exe /Auto", 1, True' Create the IE objectSet IE = WScript.CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application", "Browser_")IE.Visible = TrueIE.Navigate "http://www.microsoft.com"WScript.DisconnectObject IESet IE = NothingSet Wsh = nothingWScript.Quit Also I zipped up the script file. RunCC.zip RunCC.zip

"most desktop icons are useless" Could you confirm some info? Did you try re-associating them? Are they in fact all URL's (links to web sites)? Which version of Windows are you using?

In the cleaning section, under applications do you have an item for AVG that is checked? Was this the normal behavior in the past to remove the last scan result? Im not an AVG user Is the the name of the last scan result file always different? If not you can add an exclusion.

Bing dosent store separate history on your computer. Unless your using the MSN or Live toolbar? Where are you finding the history for Bing? Clearing MSN Toolbar http://www.microsoft.com/toolbar/search-history.htm Clearing Live Toolbar http://blog.mynetx.net/1040/toolbar-clear-search-history Clearing Bing.Com search page - perform a search on bing - under search history (lower left column) click 'Clear All'

Your best bet is Hazel's suggestion. Those backups created by CC can be a life saver. Sounds like these shortcuts are links (.url) to web sites. Have you tried re-associating them with your web browser? I think the easiest way is to right click on one, select Open, then choose your web browser and check the box to always use this program for opening these file types. However if the problem is not limited to URL file types (web page shortcuts) but other types of shortcuts arent working (programs, documents etc) then I might reccomend using system restore.

The short answer is no. You would have to create/modify winapp2.ini to include specific paths OR under options goto the inlcude section and add paths there. CC will only detect and clean the current drive the OS is loaded on and more specifically, the currently logged on user. It would be faster & easier to manauly clean the drive yourself I think.

CC could add cleaning support. I dont see any reason for 'blocking' them. It goes beyond the scope of CC. In the mean time I added the following to my WinApp2.ini file... [silverlight]LangSecRef=3022Detect=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SilverlightDefault=TrueFileKey1=%userprofile%\AppData\LocalLow\Microsoft\Silverlight|*.*|RECURSE Works great for Win7 Thanks for posting the link!

It dosent show up because its only removing a registry key and not a file. So because the files to be cleaned is 0 and the size is 0, you see nothing. I've noticed that behavior for some time with different versions. For the detection.. If you want the checkbox always available you could do away with the detection line.

When you do have some free time check out this page. Just found it in a search. Theres more info there than I previously knew about. http://www.j79zlr.com/gphome.php Gives me a few good ideas

I was addressing the point that CC can write to the registry key and execute at shutdown. I strayed from the point some what.

Try running CC as an admin. Right click either the shortcut or exe itself and select Run as administrator. Then try checking the box to save your settings. Its a permission problem that CC cant create the file within the folder the program resides.

The Group Policy Editor is just a UI. You should have a service named: Group Policy Client Its avail in XP, Vista and 7. Depending on the OS edition you may or may not have gpedit.msc I cant speak for 2k and NT as I never used either of those enough to remember.

GP shutdown scripts are stored in the registry under: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Group Policy\Scripts\Shutdown In theory CC could add the registry key with its path and switch.

If notifications could be turned off (even via a line in the INI file) and they are enabled by default, I dont see a problem. If someone is versed enough to go through all the options and choose what he/she wants, then it becomes less of a liability. If someone starts checking and unchecking numerous options without reading what they are/do then I suppose they have no one else to blame. In short... There should be a way for users that actually read the guide and dont want to be annoyed by numerous dialogs to procedd without them. The number of dialogs/clicks are too much. 1. Scan for issues 2. Fix 3. Fix selected issues 4. Are you sure? (prompt, yes to continue) 5. Issues fixed (click OK to close dialog & return to CC)

Other users might have easier suggestions than mine. But here goes... Use task scheduler to create a task that will run CC at 'computer startup'. The task scheduler has an option to run the task with highest privileges. Thus avoiding UAC. Here is a thread with some good info on setting up the task. http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=23359 You'll just want to change the trigger to Startup. Otherwise all the steps are the same in that thread I mentioned.

I mean no offense when I say this but... I downloaded the installer and found only the CC executable, lang files, winapp.ini and an uninstaller. Im not sure what the point of the uninstaller is. It probably does violate CC's license as Nergal indicated.

Support for IE8 was added around 2.1x with fixes being added in versions after that. Here is a page where you can see all the changes and additions for every version. http://www.ccleaner.com/download/version-history In any case the current release should cure your IE8 related issues.
