Hi Horse Person, Of course you can. Unless you like to install old versions for testing purposes.(It's quicker than going back to filehippo.com for them.) You might keep a couple on hand.Especially your "favorites"."Good bye old friends,alas.Parting is yada,yada,yada." Good luck, davey

Huh? I thought that is SOP. I am not kidding. I have have tried every combination there is from all off to all on for my Internet > Connections. I have worn out the "repair" button for my Local Area Connection. One day. davey .

Hello guys, Depending on what OS and how long that you have been using CCleaner,this is the scoop. CCleaner is only looking for specific "popular" software and Windows related files. You can get a copy of it all here.As of v 2.08. http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?s=&amp...st&p=104990 Don't know when "htome" will post the new copy for v 2.09. This really helps it all come together.Read the whole thread. Best wishes, davey P.S. You can add to what is listed there by adding a winapp2.ini file which cleans a lot more applications.Plus you can add your own enties even VBS scripts. Copy the winapp2.ini file that everybody else uses and add or remove as you like.Zip file at bottom. http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=1110 Add A Program To Winapp2.ini, Add additional programs to CCleaner You also have the Include and Exclude entries, All these make CCleaner very flexible.

Hi Isaiah, I'm not sure if it is a U.K. thing or a hazelnut thing. Every locale has it's own way of phrasing things. I even get confused.I am in Maryland,U.S.A. I may be wrong but I think she was implying that if you turn off that switch then maybe a lot of things will come tumbling out the Windows temp folders.That one option seems to work differently than you may think.I always leave it off as I only run CCleaner to actually clean every 3 or 4 days.Other times I use it to Analyze only. Those other 1.8 GB may be something that was not available at the time to be cleaned.Only run CCleaner when all browsers and other programs are closed. Good luck, davey

OK! Two little hints. Kenny Rogers,the gambler. davey

You denied your own thinking on this.You knew the answer and you still do. davey OK! One little hint. Kenny Rogers

Thanks Fred, New JavaRa removed an old Java version that had not been removed before. The JavaRa removal process was started on Mon Jun 30 05:19:44 2008 Found and removed: Software\JavaSoft\Java2D\1.6.0_05 davey

Hi Ed, I think your next door kid took a very technical approach.Congrats to him. Now as for you,I am still not sure you are out of trouble. The names you gave for you software don't seem to exist as far as my searches yesterday. I couldn't find any such Trend Micro software. You may or may not have been duped.I am not sure. What are the facts behind this AV software? Good luck, davey

Hi all you new or not so new users, This is a perfect example of what is called Rogue Malware, This may be from a new site that Firefox and others don't know about yet. They appear that quickly because they know once identified then their "hit" count falls off and then they create a new site. That program name and many others like it are the latest to "sucker" "trick" or "panic in unknowing users. Please advise all users that you know to only get Free software from sites that you will help them to check out. Best wishes, davey P.S. Sucker was an improper word in this "context".Thanks all for your additional input. I know I have ended up on some websites that chilled me.I didn't want to even move my mouse.Luckily I had jokingly prepared myself ahead of time.I did what my friend would do.Well almost.I unplugged the Workgroup Switch.Turned everything off I could.Then I pretended to be a "thunder storm".Zzzztttt...

Hello ikati, When you use the Registry "issues fixing" do you continue to Scan for Issues until no more are found for that "issue"? I would also suggest as the last step to Scan all issues and see what that produces. However,some software will continue to produce issues. Also don't run CCleaner without closing all other programs. Best wishes, davey http://www.ccleanerbeginnersguide.com/

Hi Randy, If you are using Advanced cleaning options then turn them off or get used to many preferences being reset to defaults. If not then supply more details about your problem. Good luck, davey http://www.ccleanerbeginnersguide.com/

I think the newer CCleaner tells you this. Where prior versions did not.Many users were not closing the browsers and complaining that the CCleaner was not working right when it actually was.All users are advised to close all programs.Run CCleaner by itself then start other programs.Strange things may occur otherwise.The same principle applies to all maintenance programs. I know there are some users that say "Well I never have.I have no problems".The only thing they lack is sufficient experience and/or knowledge. davey

Hi Ponder, You fixed that one situation. You will have more if you are using the Advanced cleaning options. Many users turn these on thinking it does a better cleaning job. These are for certain situations only.Most users don't need these on. Most result in slower PC operation for awhile. Unless you absolutely understand the effects of using these I recommend not using them. You may know this already,I understand. Many new users do not understand this but that is why the default for these options is off when installed.Don't learn the hard way. Good luck, davey http://www.ccleanerbeginnersguide.com/

Hi Steven, I am not even going to get into "defragging" do's and don'ts and "why's' and "therefore's". What I do want to say is Thank You for going out of your way to share a bit of information and knowledge with us. This is at the heart of the need and importance of having the freedom of information to all on the Internet. Members like you are very important to all the other members of this forum. In the past year or so it has been pretty hard to get information or methods and such as regards Vista and its various forms. Luckily with the increased development of the Internet,users are getting new information quicker than in the past. But it does take people like you to share with us.Thanks for the details as to what edition and version. We have all seen how important that basic information is to other users. WELCOME TO THE FORUM !!! Thanks for becoming a member to share this, davey

Capman, You are in deep trouble 'cause like Dennis says we are all nuts. A few of us admit it,some of us know it,but many of us refuse to admit it,most of us don't even know it. davey

Hi Atnes, "Re-install" otherwise known as "the Abyss". If your system crapped out on you now you would have to re-install WinXP and Sp2 plus all of its updates to get you back to where you are now.This time will be hours and hours of sheer bliss !!! Or you can update from where you are now to SP3.This may take anywhere from 30 min. to an hour to do. If your system crashed after installing SP3 then all you would have to reinstall is WinXP and SP3 which would be hours less than before. Take your pick !!! I did it 6 weeks ago.No problems then or since. Do it now under controlled circumstances with proper backup or at some unknown time when the odds are that you will not be properly prepared.Take your pick !!! Good Luck, davey

Are you saying you have been running around the internet "naked".No AV? For how long? Well, you check in every now and then. So we know you aren't broke down somewhere. This is sounding worse and worse.When is the last time you took a good backup? davey

Hi klumy, Are you positive the FF browser was closed at the time? If not it probably skipped the cleaning. davey

I know you will be allowed to BROWSE for the ERDNT folder.I think the AutoBackup folder will be put inside there during the install. I have another link for you to review also. http://discussions.virtualdr.com/showthrea...highlight=erunt. Later, davey

Hi CRoz, Vista does put a different slant on things.UAC may have to be turned off to do your setup and other backups. I use WinXP PRO SP3. You need to link back to the authors site and read the FAQ page.Also see what forum help there may be there. I will be there myself trying to get more information. http://www.larshederer.homepage.t-online.de/erunt/index.htm Yes,for best possible chances of Recovery you want ERDNT in the Windows Directory.This may not apply to Vista. P.S. I did find this from a Vista user of ERUNT. You may want to do as he suggests for now, until we can find out more info as regards Vista use of ERUNT and NTREGOPT. Reinstall ERUNT and try putting ERDNT somewhere else.Also say "Yes" to AutoBackup when asked.The AutoBackup folder should end up as a separate folder within the ERDNT Directory.After reinstall run ERUNT manually first before trying a reboot.Do not run NTREGOPT until we do further checking. Later, davey

Hi again Morgane, Yes,it is strange to get this "temp" cookie folder.You might want to Rename that folder or even the Temp folder itself and see if it is recreated somehow. In my career I have seen OS's do many strange things when someone uses "reserved" words as part of a file name.Windows seems to have been purposely designed to deal with certain situations on it's own and never give any indication that something strange has taken place.My OS was certainly beaten up by 3 1/2 years of neglect and "crashes".Just on a guess I would do some "searches" on file names with "cookie"(without the S) in them.You may find a number of empty "cookies" files.Some of these files could have been extracted in a download.Who knows? Keep in touch. Thanks for your report, davey

That is correct. You may have been mislead by his first post as I was.He is not getting the message he states.He says that would be more normal. The problem he is having is explained in Post #4.We were all waiting for him to tell us as he forgot to say what it was in his first post. davey

CRoz, Don't worry.Run ERUNT manually and see what happens.Look in \Windows\ERDNT and see what is there after you run it.. I am going to get some more information. P.S. After you run ERUNT it will create a separate folder with today's date as the name.You can look in that folder to learn what it looks like. One of these folders will be created each time you run ERUNT manually.I have created 3 in one day plus autobackup created 1 the first time that I rebooted that day.Autobackup will create only one backup for each day that it is booted.If you don't boot for a couple of days no new autobackup is made.This is why I always run ERUNT manually prior to making any changes.Autobackup should only add 30 seconds to your first start-up of the day. A small price to pay for the Recovery backup it will give you. Let's see what happens the next time that you reboot.I don't know why it could not create that ERDNT.INF text file the first time. Let me know what happens. davey

No butter underneath in the USA.(Makes the peanut butter slide off and stick to the roof of your mouth.The jelly etc. also slides and sticks anywhere other than your mouth or the bread.) Proper spreading is an acquired skill, normally taught by Mom but Dad will do after proper re-training from Mom. Spread gently a reasonable amount of peanut butter straight onto one slice of bread. Spread evenly a lesser amount of jelly,jam or preserves onto another slice of bread. Gently place the first slice of bread face down onto the second slice of bread face up. Flip the sandwich over for good presentation and enjoyment. You have now created a nice morsel for all ages. Allergies may prevent the preparation or consumption of such delights. Sorry,guys. Plain bread if it is to be consumed in a hurry or for immediate hunger relief. Toasted bread for more elegant dining or for later consumption.The degree of toasting depends on the time span between preparation and consumption.Darker toast will absorb less liquid from the ingredients and keep the proper texture for later enjoyment. Smooth peanut butter is preferred by adults for its ease in spreading and complete digestion. Nutty peanut butter is chosen more by children and adults who have no dental concerns or who have never inhaled a piece of nut while talking or attempting to speak on the telephone. It is harder to spread evenly without undue damage to the bread. Some pet owners keep it on hand to amuse themselves or guests by feeding a large gob of it to a pet. The strange tongue and lip gyrations and maneuvering by the animal is said to be very amusing. However, such practice can result in injuries to the teeth, lips, cheeks, gums, tongue and throat, mouth or facial muscles.It can also lead to a degree of distrust by the pet, especially cats. OLD FASHIONED prepared peanut butter is the choice of chefs, cooks, connoisseurs, and older adults. Mainly for its consistency, freshness, and excellent flavor. To avoid the peanut butter from sticking to the roof of the mouth, always eat with the jellied side up. The jelly serves as a barrier and a lubricant. A room temperature or cool drink should also be served. Warm drinks tend to add to the stickiness of the peanut butter. Here, on this side of the pond, you let the phone ring. After all, you are eating !!! Unless you are expecting a call, then answer saying "Dis beta be impordand !!!" They hang-up. No problem. In the USA, it's PB&J, all the way. Peanut butter and jelly that's all I'll put in my belly http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaRIlbEZQLI...feature=related And the ultimate treat for Dennis. Well everybody else too !!! Belly up !!! http://splendidtable.publicradio.org/recip...ain_pbsand.html davey
