Hi Augeus,
Thank you for your interest - that's two yesses to your questions.
Best regards eljay.
Wipe Free Disk Space limitations
CCleaner can't wipe every deleted file from your free disk space. There are some limitations, because of the way Windows stores some files. Here are some examples:
* The file is in the Master File Table (MFT). Windows stores some very small files (less than 1KB in size) directly in the MFT. They cannot be securely deleted. This is only an issue in NTFS-formatted drives.
* The file has been overwritten by another file (so no need to overwrite this again)
* The file had been overwritten by another file before you ran CCleaner, but the second file has now been deleted as well.
* The file was created almost exactly when you ran CCleaner.

Linux Mint is probably the best bet for someone just learning Linux. Use the live CD or make a bootable thumb drive and run Linux from that to try it out and see how it runs on your machine without changing anything on your machine. Try doing that with a Windows OS.
Crunch Bang is a good learning step for some one wanting to switch. Its Ubuntu based.

What does VB idle at with you (cpu)???

I personally use After Effects for editing, VirtualDub & Akme FFmpeg for converting.

It's beta though - http://www.microsoft.com/office/2010/en/default.aspx

Have i understood you correctly....You use a virtual environment all the time, In that virtual environment you have a, Anti virus, Some sort of real time, and a firewall?

Have you checked to see if flash cookies is checked?
applications tab - multimedia - adobe flash

So why did you remove the displayed entry's if you had no clue to what they was?
When it comes down to registry cleaning it is down to the user to check what entry's are listed for deletion. Not the application.
"What crappy software writing and what headaches and many wasted hours you cost me."
You cost it your self by not checking.
My advice to you is stay away from registry cleaning.

Also imho common sense will not keep you safe.
Depends really, My laptop doesnt even have a AV, and it has never been infected. But i don't really surf the net much with it.
My pc how ever as an av, but that's it. I personally dislike any real time or virtual machines. (unless for work purpose) running. In 15 years iv never had a serious infection.

Which version of Windows are you using ?
From your specs, I think it's Win95 or 98 ?
Possibly another user using WFS and it being interrupted?
To the op: download http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/windirstat/windirstat/1.1.2%20installer%20re-release%20%28more%20languages%21%29/windirstat1_1_2_setup.exe?use_mirror=surfnet
it's a great utility that will show you where all your space is being taken up.

Eish! 2.30 totally destroyed my laptop recently. I have been using this utility for a few years without any problems, then upgraded to 2.30 and wham! Laptop needed reformatting. Now I am too scared to use this utility at all, on any of my 5 machines all with different operating systems - Win2k SP4, XP-Home, Vista Business 32 x 2, and Vista Ultimate 64.
Is there anything I should NOT check?
How did ccleaner destroy your machine? Or did you use the registry tool, and not make a backup and just click fix?

I use virtual box when i need to switch to linux

Bit like reinventing the wheel. Sysinternals did a great job in that game.

Add support for office 2010.
There is only office 2007:
2010 is released yet?
-
I stand corrected - thanks
Have you managed to resolve the issue?

Welcome to the forum, As of yet there is no auto mated way to export any text file to save.
-
but if you open "options" there is another "Advanced" and THAT is where you specify the Excludes -
Not being pedantic but Excludes is in options. There is no option to exclude any thing under options - advanced.

im impressed you lasted 21 posts before getting banned.

50mb if i wasn't always in private browsing.

Sorry to disagrre but I just downloaded and installed CCcleaner and Wipe Free Space is checked by default.
#disagree to you are blue in the face. WFS is not checked by default.
-
In the last few days i have witnessed 2 users post that they believe it will free up space.
A good quote today is "I am using this tool simply because it is how CCleaner works"
People think because the check is there to use it. I could guess the proportion of people who read the user guide would be less then 20%
The end of the day what is ccleaner? A junk cleaner which in theory gives the user more free space on there HD. Many people will think the more check marks that are checked the more space they will retain. IE always have WFS checked because they don't really understand what it is for. The name alone "Wipe Free Space" can sound appealing when on the hunt for more free space.

@Piriform devs >> That's why so many people were against adding it to CCleaner
I personally was never against it. It has not really effected ccleaner size, and can be a useful tool. But putting it in the general cleaning section was very silly. Many people don't really understand what it is for and check it.
I can picture it sitting nicely next to system restore.
CCleaner 231 leaves one single cookie in the "Cookies to Delete" list
