  1. A year later this is still not fixed...

     

    Because it creates its own folder with useless shortcuts, CCleaner goes way to the right of the screen in the "All apps" view requiring scrolling to be seen instead of simply being listed among the first group of apps in Windows Start screen.

     

    Per the guidelines, you should ditch the CCleaner folder and put a single CCleaner shortcut in the root of the start menu folder (C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs).

     

    This applies to all Piriform products (Defraggler, Recuva, etc).

  2. Oh!

    Sorry, there are additional details I must share. The issue goes farther than that.

     

    That "Download location" in the Opera settings is the location *only for the very first file you save*. If you chose a folder other than that it remembers it as Last Download Location and subsequent file saves will go to that Last Download Location.

     

    That Last Download Location will be used as the de-facto default file save dialog folder until you clear the browser private data (Ctrl+Shift+Del) in which it'll reset to the Download location set in the settings.

     

    Instead of resetting to the set Download location, CCleaner is overwriting Last Download Location with /User/Documents. That's the unexpected behavior I'm observing as I expect CCleaner to mimic the browser's clear private data (which resets the save file dialog to open in the Download location set in the settings).

     

    So the solution isn't simply unticking Last Download Location from Opera's entry in CCleaner because *I do want to clean* the Last Download Location. The point is I want it done correctly: it shouldn't reset to /User/Documents, it should reset to the set Download Location like clearing the browser private data via the in-browser menu does.

     

    I hope you could understand what I mean. :unsure::)

  3. Hi, I've been observing this issue since Opera 15, now that I'm sure about what's causing it I'm posting here.

     

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. Install Opera 18, open it. Opera menu -> Settings.

    2. Check "Ask where to save each file before downloading".

    3. Set a different path for "Download location", for example, set the path to your Desktop.

    4. Download a file through Opera, notice the save file dialog will open on your Desktop folder since you set it via the user pref above.

    5. Close Opera and open CCleaner.

    6. Check to clean Last Download Location in Opera's entry and run the cleanup.

    7. Open Opera and download a file through it. The save file dialog will open in /User/Downloads (or /Skydrive/Documents depending in the Win8.1 user pref) ignoring the user pref.

     

    The problem:

    CCleaner is overwriting the user pref and setting the browser to a different default download location.

     

    Expected behavior:

    CCleaner shouldn't erase/overwrite the user pref.

  4. When you install CCleaner or other Piriform software it's adding a folder with an Unistall and a Support page link shortcut to the start menu, this cause problems specially with Windows 8, because it treats every shotcut as an app in the Start Screen (the new Metro/Modern UI).

     

    You should add only the shortcut for the app. Unistaller and support information place is Control Panel's Programs part.

  5. There's a computer where I work that is showing an error stat on Defraggler.

     

    It's much slower than it should be and I didn't even let it finish CHKDSK because it seemed like forever on verifying files.

     

    Can something be done about it?

    I think calling someone to repair the HDD would be more expensive than actually buying another HDD.

     

     

    PS. The documentation is missing information on the "health" feature.

  6. Heey everyone!

     

    Is it possible to recover files from a printer HDD? (I mean, not only with Recuva, but with another software or something...)

     

    The folder on the printer is accessible via \\IPa.ddr.e.ss\file_share\scan

    There were a lot of scanned PDF documents but suddenly the folder vanished and the HDD of the printer is empty now. Someone might have deleted or cutted the folder, whatever... Is there a way to recover the files?

     

    Thanks!

  7. Firefox makes it easy. Tab scroll.

    I think exactly the opposite. While Firefox starts to hide the tabs and I feel loosing time scrolling through them and causes the "where did I put them" effect Opera keeps all them on the screen and easily recognizable by hovering on the tabs to see their thumbnails.

  8. I wish CCleaner support Maxthon browser cleaning. Here are the reasons why you should consider it:

     

    It's 3rd most used browser in China, was 2nd just some months ago. Apparently more than 130,000,000 people use it worldwide.

    Maxthon isn't just a Chromium clone, it has its own programming atop of WebKit (in the latest version).

     

    Thanks!
