Thats just plain wrong. Lets hope Obama can fix this. I think there would be a massive out cry in the uk if this happened.
You're so utterly naive, I don't know where to begin.
These border rights will never come back. Things will get more and more strict from now on. Those in power (either party) cannot help it. Information is power.
Hope you're encrypting your email and using a double-hop proxy?

Vista's thumbnail cache is located under:
%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer
Even if you take ownership of the files you still cant delete them. The diskcleanup tool has an option in there to delete the thumb cache files (seems to work as I just tested it).
So find a way like index.dat files... to delete the cache upon reboot if that's needed. Not addressing the issue is a terrible privacy oversight.
-
I second this request.
In Vista, this file is not present, but when downloading walls, skins, whatever that is zipped and made on a XP machine, there always is that damn thumbs.db file...
Rest assured Vista/Windows 7 *do* cache thumbnails. The thumbnails cache has been centralized. See here:

I know CCleaner takes care of XP thumbs.dat files, but does it address at all the Vista/Windows 7 centralized thumbnails cache? If not, why not? And is such an improvement planned?
Thank you.

Thanks for adding this command line option. I still prefer sdelete.exe or Eraser but it's nice to see a third option.
I assume the /delete option does not wipe slack space or MFT markers, right?
-
Ah, true, but my normal delete mode is just that. If I have anything I want securely deleted, and I do from time to time, I throw it in a folder which is included in CC, and run CC in one overwrite mode.
Yes, that will work.
I use Eraser myself.
Thanks for getting back.

Thank you to the developers.

Shift/Del.
Cute. That definitely bypasses the Windows Recycling Bin, but does little to "wipe" the data off the platter. ;-)

BTW, thank you for all the fine apps.

UG, Recuva won't rename deleted files. The only software that will, as far as I know, is disk free-space wipers. The alternative is either to wait until the names in the MFT are overwritten with new files, or, depending on how many of them there are, you could create say 100 or so few-byte files named aaa001.aaa to whatever and see if they overwrite the entries. (Oh yes, then delete them.) You could also get rid of Recuva on the pc in question.
One overwrite with CC will rename all the files to be deleted and overwrite them with zeroes, if you choose that option, although as I'm not a recycler user you may want to have that clarified by somebody who is.
Augeas, what do you use, if you don't use the Recycling Bin? What app.?
-
Rather than adding folders/files using the Windows Explorer pick-and-choose method currently in CCleaner, I would like to manually add in specific files and folders by directly cutting and pasting their URLs into CCleaner. Surely this option is possible. While not a bug, it would be a welcome addition.
Thank you.
-
Damn... this is a *bad* bug. And I *did* pay for the program. I sent in $20.
-
Recuva, BTW, is a very nice clean app. Just like CCleaner!
-
Some others on the forum have been recommending right clicking the CCleaner shortcut, and then selecting to run it as Administrator.
God I'm so glad I stuck with XP Pro.
-
Restoration (http://www.snapfiles.com/get/restoration.html) will permanently delete vacant clusters -- including those reported with 0 file sizes. However it works should be how Recuva strives to perform. ;-)
Go, developers, go!
-
I've tried new version not long ago. It seems to work properly and to keep the promises
A ton of thanks for your great job!
The best way to thank the developers is to pay $20 US via PayPal. I did this earlier in the month. CCleaner is simply that good.

CCleaner (Crap Cleaner) 2.01.507
http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/CClea...er/1100194579/1
Ah so!
Confucious say "thank you."
-
So where do I download 2.1, if not from this site or File Hippo?
I'm impatient, yes.
-
Thank you very much!

Hi all,
Just to let you know we've been busy fixing (hopefully all) the CCleaner 2.0 bugs posted on the forum.
And will be releasing a new build 2.01 tomorrow or Monday.
MrG
Thanks a lot! Great news!
I donated my $20 about 2 weeks ago so I expect first dibs. ;-)

When I hit the run cleaner tab in CCleaner v1.41.554, my floppy drive is accessed and the light comes on. I do not have a disk in the drive. Is this normal behavior?
Thanks
It does the same on all my machines. Whether "normal" or not, I cannot say.
I got rid of that old floppy on my box at home when I built it last yr. I cried a little then got over the security risk it posed. ;-)

JRd1st, I did an experiment on a 135MB PowerPoint. I deleted it directly to the Recycle Bin in Windows XP SP2, then had CCleaner v1.45.544 seven-pass wipe the Recycle Bin. The file is in fact gone if Recuva v1.04.104 is reporting correctly. Not only is the file's data gone, but the file itself has been renamed to SSSSSSS.SSS in the MFT, which is a nice touch as well.
I was amazed that Recuva could find so many files on my C: Drive, but it appears they are all invalid. I tried opening up a number of them. I use a variety of programs to clean my drive so it's hard to say which one might be doing a better job than another.
One other question... is there any way to clean up the MFT itself? I don't even want to see old file names in there.
