  1. I just HAD to login to a terribly old account just to comment on this.

     

    Hilarious outcome: the new version I just installed (5.18) activates the monitor BY DEFAULT without asking.

     

    Bye ccleaner, it's been a fun decade.

     

    like with any software that allows you to customise it, simply turn off the feature you don't want/need.

    luckily they have made it a user-controlled option, so that's good as I'll be making sure it's off.

    it's like the dangerous File Finder process they implement ages ago, it wasn't for me but that didn't stop me using CC, it's a great little program.

     

     

    I guess they are trying to give their clients something they have been asking for (according to the official release blurb).

    It's all part of software evolution and sometimes, some people aren't going to be happy.

  2. Problem is not limited to Vista users, I have the same issue with my XP SP2 system. CCleaner always lists file extensions to be removed from applications that I use most frequently. This version does it and so did the previous one. The explanation of what "UNUSED" means, given in a response to a post by Oldboy, Feb 4, 2006, only confirms, for me, that it isn't recognized as a bug. I don't have an explanation but I am watching this post because I hope you soon get one soon. In the meantime, I will stick with the only resolution I know, NEVER remove them.

     

     

     

    yeah I've been forced to start using Vista Manager for now

     

    CCleaner is my all-time favorite software (and I mean it). I've installed it on all the computers at work and all my friend's computers (total computers = 1500+)

     

    I just wish it wasn't so buggy right now !

  3. Hey guys

    very recently (probably since last tuesday's Vista x64 patch blitz), CCleaner's reg cleaner is finding ALL file extensions as "unused"

     

    I made the mistake of cleaning them and all my file associations were lost... and I mean ALL of them.

     

     

    This been happening with others? CCleaner has gone from most useful program to the program i hate the most in vista..

  4. Hi, I came to the forum because I had pretty much the same problem so I hope someone can help out.

    Running on vista business 64, registery cleaner lists a bunch of "ActiveX/COM Issues" that mainly have to do with winamp which I recently uninstalled. Also some obsolete software keys. They basically keep showing up after fixing them. I'm running CCleaner as administrator.

    I thought perhaps I need to disable windows defender, but I'm not sure how to do that. Is there is a better program for cleaning up windows vista 64?

     

     

    "better program"... BLASPHEMY ! CCleaner is the best ! :)

    It just might have 1 bug for vista.

    I've never had any problem before so it must be a vista-only issue...

     

     

    I've also started installing CCleaner on all company computers... 1300 computers... cleeeeeeeean :)

  5. Hey guys

     

    first things first, I have been using CCleaner for maybe 2 years now... I use it ADDICTIVELY. Like 5-10 times a day. I'm obsessed. Clean Clean Clean. CLEAN.

    Everytime i visit an "awkward" website, I check CCleaner to see if something new is in my startup... seriously.

     

     

    Anyways on to my question

    I've recently installed Vista x64 (new computer too) and it seems that CCleaner scans the registry but doesn't clean some items

    In total, it's 111 items right now, but it grows everytime i install and uninstall something (lately, winamp)

     

    Some examples are:

     

    Unused File Extension : .DVR

    Unused File Extension : DDECache

    the next 109 entries all start with "InProcServer32" ... all from Winamp (uninstalled), Stardock (currently in use) and Logitech webcam stuff (uninstalled... thanks Logitech for not supporting vista x64 on 99.9% of your webcams!)

     

    Is this a known issue or should I do something about it?

    Thanks
