Just noticed that there is also a right click menu:
- Edit
- Manual Edit
- Remove Selected
Selecting 'Manual Edit' does work as expected.
(i was breaking my brain trying to get rid of those asterisks
I noticed the right click menu last night but I really don't know what to use any of it for.
1) What are the asterisks for?
2) Could anyone give me some examples of how and why you will use the new edit function?

I remember turning off error reporting on my XP PC.
Maybe thats why its not there.
I'm going to check it out tomorrow.
edit: I turned it back on and its still not there.

Windows Error Reporting shows up on my Vista PC, and not on my XP.

Nice pick up on the word highlighted Nergal.
If thats the case, its another example of the need to read the CCleaner guide before running the program.

Did you download the executable Flash Player installer?

Hello midiplay, and welcome to the forum.
It may only appear that CCleaner fixed all the issues.
Did you "Scan for Issues" again, after "Fix all selected issues"?

Happy Halloween!

The pain you feel is a testament of your love for your grandmother.
That pain will turn into fond memories of her.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Thanks for considering our collective effort MrG!

Excellent job Whiteshark!
We're kickin it into high gear with our creative talents.
Adding the ability of editing to this evolving suggestion would be first-class.

How about the same for the Exclude option also ?
Good Idea!
We wouldn't want to only include Include and exclude Exclude.

This forum is the best place to hang out on the Internet.
Thank you!

I imagine something like the startup tool. Using a data grid component with an enabled\disabled column. This way there would be continuity. The disable button could simply function as a toggle depending on the selcted item.
I left the checkbox in the picture. It could serve as a enable all or disable all. In the scenario that you oly want to clean these items say once a month, then you could turn it on and off when finished.
Thats exactly what I imagined it to look like!
I like your idea of modeling it after the startup tool.
I hope that others like the idea, and its integrated into CCleaner.
Thanks for your help Disk4mat.

CCleaner Rocks!!!

Not to be contrarian, but IMHO is up to the user take any action. Who said i want delete my customized files/folders every time i run CCleaner, and not, for instance, once a week or once a month?
In my opinion everything should be unchecked by default in CCleaner. Nevertheless this could cause as well some headaches and/or complaints about CCleaner not working at all, but... this is the life I concur. I think that many - perhaps the majority - of non-casual CC users like to be in control of their pc. If only there was a piece of software that introduced two new keys, marked 'Stop that immediately!' and 'Just do as I say, dammit!' I would be happier.This suggestion allows for more customization and control over include!
It doesn't force you to do anything, or take control of your PC!

Hello Mark, and welcome to the forum.
Do you have Custom Files and Folders checked?
Cleaner > Windows > Advanced > Custom Files and Folders.
Heres a link to CCleaners Guide.
Look under Options > Exclude.
I asked if you had it checked because the guide states that it needs to be checked to exclude.
I don't exclude so I can't confirm this. Last night another member said that it doesn't need to be checked for exclude, only for include.
Its up to you if you want to give it a try.
Good Luck!

I like that idea! Check the box and the list is enabled and buttons are enabled. I made a concept image showing the enabled vs disabled state
I also like the idea of having a checkbox for each item. That would be helpfull when trying to figure out which included item entry is causing a problem. As it stands now you either enable all custom files/folders are none.
Also the startup tool works on an item by item basis. Its not disable or enable all. So another reason to go with a checkbox for each included item. The more i think about it more I like that idea. Good thinking Jamin4u.
I like the concept image you did Disk4mat. Could you do another image adding a checkbox for each included item.
With the Enable box and individual box for each entry, we would have the ability to enable/disable the section and have on/off settings for each entry. What more could anyone ask for!
-
Exclusions dont require custom files & folders checked (only include).
Its based on implied usage. If a user adds items to the include list then he/she intends to clean those items.
I've never Excluded items so I'll take your word for it, in the CCleaners Guide it says the box should be checked.
You are correct that its implied. So why is the Custom Files and Folders option there in the advanced section?
My thoughts are that its a "do you really want to do this box".
So why not do this: Move the box inside the Include Section, or let us custom select with an individual box for each entry. (If Possible)

Add a notice in options Include and Exclude.
"Enable Custom Files and Folders in Cleaner Advanced Section".
Cleaner > Windows > Advanced > Custom Files and Folders.
This would save some posts, and frustration on new users.

Hello Mark, and welcome to the forum.
I have tried excluding certain things that options are given for to see if they make a difference but it never does (you always have to reinstall ScrewDrivers).Do you have Custom Files and Folders checked?
Cleaner > Windows > Advanced > Custom Files and Folders.

Hello honeythief,
1) Try what hazelnut suggested.
2) YoKenny is very familiar with Windows ME.
3) Note all of your settings, then uncheck all but one and scan the system.
If your problem disappears, then add one more of your settings and scan again.
By the process of elimination you will find the problem.
4) Uninstall CCleaner, download and Reinstall from here.
I use the slim version (No Toolbar).

The CCleaner Guide is pinned at the top of the discussion board.
It sounds like you're doing all the right things.
I would like to recommend one other program to help protect Internet Explorer.
This program Doesn't run as a process, just update and enable all protection once a week.
SpywareBlaster Click on Download Latest Version
Prevent the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, browser hijackers, dialers, and other potentially unwanted software.Block spyware/tracking cookies in Internet Explorer and Mozilla/Firefox.
Restrict the actions of potentially unwanted sites in Internet Explorer.

"Cleaner Resetting order of IE Favorites/Bookmarks? How do I disable that?" found in search, I tested many variations, uncheck Window Size/Location Cache seem to work so far
I don't recommend using the advanced section unless you have a specific need.
I have one custom folder that I empty now and then.
None of the cashe cleaning items should be changing the order of your favorites.
I did some forum searches and see that this can happen, but I don't think its CCleaners fault.
To state the obvious, I would leave Window Size/Location Cache unchecked.
Have you thought of updating to IE7?

What should not be marked to keep IE Favorites unchanged?
Hello Nightowl, and welcome to the forum.
What do you mean by changed?
CCleaner doesn't Clean IE favorites.
Did you include any custom files or folders?
Heres a link to CCleaners guide.

Does anyone know what to deselect when running the cleaner and/or registry cleaner to leave remote desktop settings in the drop down box. Ran the cleaner and registry cleaner and all of the ip addresses that I have entered are gone.
Hello styx21, and welcome to the forum.
I'm not familiar with RDP, but heres my two cents.
If I'm understanding you correctly, all of the ip addresses that you typed into your address bar are gone and the drop down box is empty.
You should uncheck Recently Typed URLs.
Cleaner > Windows > Internet Explorer > Recently Typed URLs.
Heres a link to CCleaners guide.
Let us know if this helps, or if you need any more help.
In my opinion everything should be unchecked by default in CCleaner. Nevertheless this could cause as well some headaches and/or complaints about CCleaner not working at all, but... this is the life

Thanks Whiteshark for that explanation of how the new edit function can be used.
I agree with Disk4mat regarding adding the the ability to selectively enable/disable items.
I hope it can be added in a future version of CCleaner.
