Here's mine...

It works, but not optimal. For instance, you cant manage autostart programs (apps that starts with Windows start-up) cuz CCleaner does not read 64 bit applications.
-
To my knowledge it will deal with them all when using XP or even older operating systems, like I stated earlier I'm not sure how it would work in Vista. Then again if some application has created them, and if that app is running they can be locked.
Maybe you need to right click the BAT file and run it as an Administrator.
It cant be the system or applications replicating them since I just took a bunch of old pictures(jpg's) I had, renamed them with the .old ext. and then placed them all over.
Also, I dont have uac enabled, so running it in Admin mode would mean nothing(I think). Also, since the .bat file removes some of the .old files but not all, there is not where the problem is. Not sure why that happens
-Edit-
Just tried running it as admin, and then the cmd window barely appears, then dissapear without removing any files..??
-
Been testing the .bat file a bit more and placing random .old files around my c and d drive. I found out that it doesent always find all files when run. I have tried running the bat file from desktop, c root and d root, but no success.

There is still the bug in 64 bit Vista where CCleaner cant manage to show all startup items. So in the meantime i'm using autoruns for that part. But please fix this issue.

Use this at your own risk, I bear no responsibility if it screws up your system! And do note that some software products may have very valid reasons for making .bak and .old files.
This will probably take several seconds to minutes depending upon the size of your drives, and the amount of files/folders those drives contain. I don't know if it works the same on Vista as it does in XP.
Instructions:
1. Copy what's listed in the code below.
2. Open Notepad and paste in the copied code.
3. In Notepad click File->Save As (including the quotes): "Delete More Junk Files.bat"
attrib /s -r -h -s "C:\*.bak"attrib /s -r -h -s "C:\*.old"attrib /s -r -h -s "C:\thumbs.db"del /s "C:\*.bak"del /s "C:\*.old"del /s "C:\thumbs.db"attrib /s -r -h -s "D:\*.bak"attrib /s -r -h -s "D:\*.old"attrib /s -r -h -s "D:\thumbs.db"del /s "D:\*.bak"del /s "D:\*.old"del /s "D:\thumbs.db"clsexit
Thanx man, works great! And easy to add more wildcards if I want also:)
BTW, does this take care of hidden (system)files as well?
-
I imagine you could if you made a winapp2.ini entry. The only problem is it may actually slowdown CCleaner tremendously since it will have to search the whole hard disk. You could actually do this with a batch file and use that batch file once in awhile.
Thanx for the answer. I have absolutely no clue on how to make a batch file like that though.
If anyone would make me one, it would be nice. I have 2 hard-disks(C and D) and running Vista sp1 64 bit.
-
I am also wondering if it is possible to add let's say *.bak, *.old, Thumbs.db etc and let CCleaner scan for those? Not just in a particular folder, but the whole hard-disk(s).

Hey now, i drive a VWGolf, lol.
Yeah other than the few things i listed, it happened right after using CCleaner- it fixed a good bit of registry things... not sure but id say over 150. I do not use defraggler and as far as the services or temp internet cache- i have no clue what that is.
All i know is the speed difference is amazing and i aint complaining.
Are there other things i should consider using?

Are ERUNT and NTREGOPT Vista 64-bit compatible?
On the site, it only says Vista. Just thought you guys know?

I haven't tried that stand alone Stack Docklet yet. Apparently you can use it with the dock and have a stack within a stack.
Yes you sure can
-
New one, using the Stack docklet directly from the quick launch, without the need for a dock. Pretty cool
-
hehe true:) and he's very good also!

Actually I agree, why have this option when it is just the regular add\remove?
Seems to me it is just a simple way to have an extra "featue" in the "features" list.
To have this option in a cleaner app, it need an extra feature, like additional reg clean on the target after an uninstall!

Hi ! !
Trying to download the Portable version from http://www.CCleaner.com/download/builds
The title says it V2.05.555, but the older version 2.04 actually downloads...
Thought you would want to know.
Same with the slim build. Guess it will be fixed any moment:)
