I use CCleaner so much I wouldn't need it to be automated.
Once I shutdown my PC and walked away, only to return 8 hours later to see that a process hung.
Since that happened, I like to stay present until shutdown is complete.

I have always though there should be a warning for that option (actually I think there should be for ALL the advanced tickboxes given the number of new users who just select everything and then complain about the effects).
I couldn't agree more about new users not fully understanding the effects.
I thought there might be a reason for not including the warnings.
Would someone suggest that MrG adds a warning to all options in the Cleaner Tab/Windows/Advanced?

Please read post edit.

Can anyone tell me why there isn't a warning when selecting Hotfix Uninstallers?

Hello, and welcome to the forum.
If you downloaded the portable version .zip of CCleaner, you won't find an uninstaller.
I can't imagine a computer without CCleaner.

I personally wouldn't attempt a manual removal because of the large amount of data and files. I would have to use a program that could do the job for me. Yes, do as Andavari says use CCleaner to clean your registry after removal. There is no substitute for CCleaner's Registry cleaner. It doesn't go deep and is very safe to use.

Hi, you might want to look at Revo Uninstaller. I heard about it on a forum from a trusted member. I have never used it, but I see great reviews on the web. I remember him saying to use it in advanced mode. You should read the help file before using. Always back up your registry. I use Erunt for backing up my registry. It has saved me more than once. Also set a restore point in Windows. Good Luck!!!

I created a folder that lives next to CCleaner in program files. I call it CCleaner backups. Even though I have never had to restore, I always backup. This folder has never grown to a single MB in size. So I really don't empty it to often.

No,I think it is best made that you "must" put your cursor on the box to be changed.
I have seen this feature in other programs also and did not like the fact the you could accidentally change something.Thanks again for reporting it.

Hi davey, thank you for clarifying your opinion on this topic. I have used CCleaner since the beginning. CCleaner is one of a handful of tools that have kept my computers running like new.

Perhaps you should try the process of elimination. Clear all settings in the cleaner tab, windows and applications. Then restore your settings one at a time. Run the cleaner and test the snipping tool each time you restore an item. When the tool no longer runs, you will have narrowed it down. The Snipping tool does use the clipboard. I am running Window Vista Home Premium with no problems. CCleaner v2.05.555

Yes it does Highlight the box but not the whole line.
Don't misunderstand my intention.When I first saw your post I wanted to thank you for bringing up an important item.Many people do click their mouse and this can result in them turning on or off a feature.I will bet this has happened to others.
The feature does make it quicker for those who just move the highlight up and down then click on the line.
This also does the same for the normal delete versus secure delete option.
Thanks Jamin4u for reporting this important item.Yes,CCleaner Rocks.
davey
Hi davey, I didn't misunderstand you, nor was I offended. I realize that clicking like that can get you into trouble. That is how I stumbled onto this, by not being prompted to backup registry issues. If you are saying that this is a feature of CCleaner, then my reply would be that it is unnecessary and possibly risky for a dozen or so selections. I apologize for not being clear enough about it highlighting the box only, and not the whole line.
Thank you,
Jamin4u

It was the highlighted bit that got me Jamin4u
It doesn't highlight for me, but it does put a tick there if I click to the right on purpose. You must have an itchy mouse finger !!
Have reported this now.
Thank you, and yes I do. Click, Click, Click!

If you can identify the files or folders, you can exclude them from the cleaner in the options Tab.

Well I'm using v02.05.555 on Win98SE and it doesn't do that for me. Thats because I'm using a descent OS.
I have never used Win98SE.
But, Ouch anyway!

hi all
I don't speak very good english so try to understant me
It's just a little question.
Is CCleaner compatible with vista ??
Welcome to the forum.
Yes, I am using v2.05.555.

Hi Hazel,
I have the latest v 02.05.555. It does as he indicates on my machine.WIN XP SP2.
This is in the Options > Settings and Options > Advanced .
Of course you must have the habit of clicking your mouse when you shouldn't.
Davey
Hi davey, yes I have the habit of clicking my mouse when I shouldn't.
But I would be willing to bet, that I'm not the only one.
I accidentally unchecked: show prompt to backup registry issues.
-
I cannot reproduce this on my system.
Hi hazelnut, I have seen this on four systems, XP and Vista.
Try This: In the settings tab- line your cursor up to the right of the word starts in the first option, and you should see that it is highlighted and you can left click to select it.
-
When your cursor is to the right of the text in Settings and Advanced Tabs, you can move your cursor down highlighting and checking boxes.
This can result in changing options accidentally for those of us who like to click their mouse.
It is as it should be in the Cleaner Tab. Your cursor must be on the check box to select it.
Is this something that Mr G may want to look into for safety reasons?

You are right Jamin, I was just trying to get all the facts from the user first
The way you wrote this out is very clear and easy for anyone to understand.
Hello hazelnut, thank you for your kind words.
I joined this forum to find a solution for this issue. My original post was on 11/26/07 stating that my backup was saved as type: file. It has been said that the backup not showing as a .reg file can be a file association problem. This is not true in my case. But can it be possible that we are both correct on a case to case basis? A fix for this could save some future posts. Not a big deal for me.

Are you vista or XP?
Does the file before you rename it have the .reg ending and the picture of the blue blocks?
If so, does it stll have this ending after you rename it?
If you just add .reg to the backup does it work then?
This is an issue that was introduced in 2. version of CCleaner.
If you rename before fixing the issues, the backup is saved as Type: File.
If you don't rename before fixing the issues, the backup is saved as Type: Registration Entries.
Just add the .reg extension if you rename before saving.
If your backup is saved as Type: file, simply rename and add the .reg extension.
I hope this helps!

ERUNT works just fine for me. I think the daily AutoBackup on startup default is 30 days. I changed mine to 7 days which is fine for me. I can say that the restore works great. Saved my PC more than once. If you want to change the default days, the info is in the FAQ.
Question: I want to change the number of days from which ERUNT AutoBackup keeps restore folders.
Answer: Click "Start" ? "Programs" ? "Startup", right-click "ERUNT AutoBackup", choose "Properties", then at the end of the command line add a space and the /days:n switch where n is the new number of days.
Very customizable for those who know command line and scheduling tasks.

Hello,
I found the problem that was introduced in version 2. of CCleaner.
If I change the backup file name before fixing the issues.
The file is saved as Type: File
If I don't change the backup file name before fixing the issues.
The file is saved as Type: Registration Entries
Could you run your own tests and let me know what you think?
Thank You! Jamin4u

I don't think its my computers based on the following tests and results.
1) Uninstalled CCleaner 2.03.532 on my XP Home sp2 PC.
2) Installed CCleaner 1.41.544 scanned for and fixed all issues.
The Backup was created as Type: Registration Entries
3) Uninstalled CCleaner 1.41.544.
4) Reinstalled CCleaner 2.03.532 scanned for and fixed all issues.
The Backup was created as Type: File
I also tested my sisters computer today, XP Home sp2, CCleaner 2.03.532.
The Backup was created as Type: File
Yes, I did run the (REG File Association Fix) as a last test with no help.
I welcome all comments and or suggestions.
Thank you, Jamin4u

Hello, I'm just wondering if this is on the list of bug fixes. CCleaner works so well for me that I've never had to use the merge option to restore the registry. It may be confusing for some users that are not aware of the work around. Thank you, Jamin4u

I'm glad to see Revo worked for you.
CCleaner's uninstall tool is for convenience only, and not for uninstall problems. It runs the uninstaller from the program you are uninstalling.
I recommend that you keep CCleaner and use it in your maintenance routine.
