[Cleaning Address Entries]

davy, this is something that annoys me as well and can only be displayed when you begin to type something into the Address field in IE and all previous typed entries appear as an aid to help you in selecting old entries.

 

I just ignore the advice and just keep typing the URL I want.

 

If it annoys you, just turn it off like tnfarmer did.

You may want to check your computer for Malware or viruses.

If you want to look at typed url's in the registry I would be glad to help.

 

Please keep in mind that going into the registry and making changes can have an adverse effect on your computer.

[Windows XP Service Pack 3]

I have it on a flash drive.

 

Try downloading it to a different media or drive.

[Windows XP Service Pack 3]

I've tried Microsoft and the file appears to be corrupt.

 

I've also tried Download.com but that appears to be corrupt as well.

 

If you are saying they appear to be corrupt because the installation fails, maybe this is the reason.

 

This is only recommended if the installation fails.

 

Although disabling your antivirus software is not usually recommended, some antivirus software prevents certain system files from being changed. This may cause the Windows XP SP3 installation to fail. To make sure that you can successfully install Windows XP SP3, temporarily disable your antivirus software including any antispyware and third-party firewall programs.

What tool bars are you using ? Google? Yahoo?

 

Do these tools or gadgets plug in suggested addresses ?

 

Could this be where they're coming from?

 

Toolbars save information like history, autofill, bookmarks.

 

Even if you do use a toolbar, I can't see it effecting the IE address bar.

I didn't think you had anything to hide. We all have sensitive data that needs to be gone.

 

Yes, this is a nice place with smart and fun people.

 

I'm glad you feel like coming back!

Here's a post that explains what the difference is.

It sounds logical that the more you overwrite, the less of a chance there is to recover some data.

 

I personally think 35 passes is overkill. A simple overwrite is sufficient.

 

Overwriting once should stop regular forensic examinations. TLA agencies can examine drives with electron microscopes but unless its a case of national security, an individual would get a regular old forensic examination.

Hello Yorkshireman, and welcome to the forum.

 

This is a topic that has been discussed many times on this forum.

 

Using the search tool with terms like secure deletion will find many results.

 

Here's one that sums it up very well by Augeas.

I think that a simple overwrite is sufficient for most data.

You may want to look through your favorites and delete the ones you don't want.

 

Your very welcome.

[Cleaning Address Entries]

CCleaner does its job cleaning Recently Typed URLs in Internet Explorer 7.

 

The only addresses showing on the IE address bar when certain letters are entered are in my favorites.

 

If you have many favorites, you can right click on anyone and click sort by name.

 

Find the ones you don't want, right click and delete them.

 

You can turn off Auto Complete by doing the following.

 

Open IE click on Tools > Internet options > Content > Auto complete Settings

 

De-select Web addresses only, or all of them if you want then click OK.

 

Good Luck!

Can you do a system restore to before you lost the file associations?

[File Extensions No Longer Work After Using CCleaner]

Hello dlo, and welcome to the forum.

 

What version of CCleaner are you using?

 

What operating system are you using, and is it 32-bit or 64-bit?

 

Did you run the cleaner, and fix issues in the registry?

[registry restore]

Hello smokie2020, and welcome to the forum.

 

Try right clicking on the .reg file (b/up file), put your cursor on "open with" and choose registry editor.

 

I Hope this helps!

[CCleaner removing file associations]

Hello afguy, and welcome to the forum.

 

I can't replicate this on my Vista Home Premium 32-bit System.

 

CCleaner has recently become fully compatible with 64-bit versions of XP and Vista.

 

The following questions come to mind.

 

1) Have you run your Anti-Malware and Anti-Virus scans?

2) Did you run any bat file or script that could have corrupted the registry?

 

I Hope this helps!

Jamin4u.

 

Nice postit on your side bar. I find the clock and the calendar to be unnecessary. I found a better CPU monitor, which I can link you two if you want it.

 

AJ

 

That would be great if you gave me the link AJ.

 

I was just filling the side bar with gadgets from MS.

 

I'm up for suggestions on side bar gadgets.

 

Thanks

If thats a valid email address you may want to remove it to avoid spam.

Thanks to you as well Disk4mat for your input.

 

I will be able to put the new edit function to use.

 

Will both suggestions only work for file and folder names, or will it work for dates as well?

 

Lets say you want to keep logs for a program for xx days.
