Disk4mat ~ I believe that was the trick! I loaded the proper update to the search engine and have had no issues. Thanks, my man! (unless you're a woman.) Late

I don't know that I've made this clear but after CCleaner has run, the shortcuts do not exist in the directory and do not exist in the Start\Recent Items. So, in that example, CCleaner did its job. Where they do exist is if I pull up Windows Explorer and click in the search field in the top, right-hand corner and then type in something to the effect of *.mp3. It pulls all of my MP3s (as to be expected) but also pulls shortcuts pointing to old material accessed at one time or another that were in the Recent Items directory within the AppData directory. I'm going to side with you that maybe the indexer has updated the DB yet. I haven't looked at the items to see how far back they go - these may only be items from the last day or last week or something. I'll try the patch you sent. You mentione Vista Business yet I have Vista Ultimate, but my assumption is that there's one for all OS versions.

More specifically, they are shortcuts that reside in the recent items. So to put everyone at ease, they're not directly in the Windows directory but rather the Recent Items within the Windows directory. If I navigate directly to the folder, it's empty - possibly as a result of running CCleaner. However, if I run the search function through Vista (indexed search, I believe), it still shows items in that folder. An example would be a mp3 or wma file that clearly shows as a shortcut in the Recent Items. I've unchecked hidden files and nothing additional shows up. Thoughts? I was thinking CCleaner actually wiped all of this.

I have Vista Ultimate and have been using CCleaner lately to see how it works. For the most part I?m fairly pleased with what it does. However, it does tend to leave remnants and traces accessed material in the following directories ? even after their deleted and flushed from the system. C:\Users\<profile>\Appdata\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows C:\Users\<profile>\Appdata\Local\Microsoft\Windows Is this something you?re aware of or are working on? I?m a little surprised that it won?t remove these as it seems to do a good job of removing everything else. For what it?s worth, they all look like shortcuts.

Can someone please advise how the licensing works and whether it is acceptable to use CCleaner in a corporate environment? This is a great utility, but a request has come through to possibly use it at work. I need to validate costs, licensing, and whether corporate use is acceptable first. Costs I believe are donations. Good rule of thumb? Thanks in advance. Mike
