I had a major crash a few months and was able to retrieve all my files by using Recuva, TG. However I would really like to get my favoites list back becaus I had alot of llinks that I need for school. Is there any way for me to get these back? I use Yahoo browser.
thanks,
Lori
Off topic: Just a warning i went around to fix my dads pc a few months ago. They was using BT yahoo browser. It is the most un secure piece of crap i have ever seen. I would replace it immediately. I would suggest installing firefox or opera

hahahaha, Glad to see i was not the only one thinking Themes where?

Welcome to the forum
I'm sorry you are having issues, it's hard what to say, For one the text is black on a white background, and the green is just headers above the post.
It interferes with me none what so ever.

Hi,
I've just run CCleaner and had it delete my form data for Google Chrome (and IE and Safari) but it's all still there. My internet history, temp files etc have all disappeared as requested but when I visit login pages my username and password is still there, and when I type in the address bar I still get suggestions of sites I've visited.
I just opened CCleaner, checked the boxes I wanted and hit 'run', waited until it finished then closed CCleaner.
Am I doing something wrong? How can I get it to actually wipe my form data?
Thanks
Firstly are the browser processes terminated? Check this under task manger (ctrl-alt-del) process - process.exe(process = process name)
Although i think it's more of a case you have saved your passwords to the browser and it is prompting you to enter them.
I can't speak for these browsers as i dont use them but are you sure it's not predictive suggestions being suggested when you type.
For example in firefox i have no saved data but if i start to type ch i will be displayed with predictive search options

Could be a number of reasons why.
Just go to start menu - ccleaner or C:\Program Files\CCleaner - right click the cclener.exe and create short cut and drag and drop it back to your desktop

CCleaner Registry Scan displays no issues, Auslogics Defragger after its run shows 14 errors, Free Windows Registry Repair ver. 1.5, displays approx 1200 reg errors & despite even fixing them more errors pop up after a reboot around 100......making me confused......which is the best, dependable, reliable, freeware software to scan & fix reg issues?
Thanks.
Don't ever be fooled into thinking just because an application displays thousands of errors to fix that it will be better. There are MORE over aggressive registry cleaners out there then safe ones. CCLEANER is safe as registry cleaning can be deemed safe. All it takes is an over aggressive cleaner to delete one wrong key, which could leave your system un boot able.
This is what is worring. You have downloaded and installed an application. Scanned - 1200 REGISTRY entries displayed to be fixed - FIX
You have just clicked fixed on 1200 registry keys to be deleted and you have no idea what these are for. JUst one can cause fatal errors as i said before.
If you must scan stick with ccleaner. But ask your self why are you registry cleaning? Is it because the net is filled with ad's about registry cleaning saying it will improve performance by x1000?
Please take care when researching. The net is filled with so much crap it's un real. No matter how silly you might think a question is. Just ask here. No one will laugh, and no one will give you bad information.
Final note you should always make a back up of the registry before making any changes. May i suggest ERUNT http://www.larshederer.homepage.t-online.de/erunt/
Starts silently at system start up, Backs up. Then closes.

why on earth would you install 5k applications in one weekend. I don't want to go off topic but i'm curious to what you do with them all.
Also uninstalling 5k apps with the built in uninstaller - Thats some left over crap

If you wanted a discussion on secure file deletion why not just start your own thread? I assume you could post as long as paragraphs as you like then since it's your own thread. Peoples own choice to read it or not

+1. I'm into VB.NET mostly, but I'm a bit of a PHP fan too
I love vb personally. It grew on my from a young age when msn chat rooms where open around 1999. My dads friend made on my behalf the authentication to connect to msn's gatekeeper. Then the rest i learned my self. Good old vb6. That lead me on to connecting mIRC to msn chat rooms. So that was my first scripting language.
Picking up vbscript was easy. Mixed that with html obviously. I started learning asp.net but did not really like the syntax.
So now i just stick to vb.net and started php. I need to learn xml better though for vb.

right click the saved back up - Merge

In simple, if your school allows you to install it. Then yes you are allowed to use it. CCleaner is freeware. There is no paid version.
Happy using

It'll be good to try.
I study C and C++ but I'm not that good in them. I guess I have a long term math problem.
I hate parenthesis, brackets and braces like that off of the C Languages. That's why i chose to study PHP. Oh....

dont know about others
edit sorry i miss read your reply
I know the entry is stored in the registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Piriform\CCleaner\CookiesToSave "<here>"
If you are comfortable using the registry then you can use that. If not you may be able to do it with the .ini file.
But i know nothing about that so another user will have to assist.

May i just ask. Is this thread still continuing because this "one" time you uninstalled ccleaner. Reinstalled and rather then default it used your custom settings?
-
I am going to go out on a limb here, but I believe that you think this is pointless because why not just open CCleaner to uninstall applications?
I may be wrong (correct me if I am) but I believe he was thinking more along the lines of being able to simply right click an installed application & remove it using a context menu option that CCleaner could be coded to add.
I can see the merits of such a system myself, because if you install or use thousands of programs, it would kinda be handy to be able to right click & uninstall applications.
Because sometimes an application name is hard to remember...
Because sometimes you have a ton of installed applications & cannot think of what to search for to remove...
Because right click/uninstall could save a lot of time...
I'm very much aware what the user wanted. As i stated above. Commandlineargs() to invoke ccleaner as a bg worker. Then invoke chosen applications uninstaller....
I really am not understanding "if you install or use thousands of programs" bit. Where are all these exe's laying around installed? Program files? Surely not next to there own uninstaller? How can an application name be hard to remember? If you are on focus to it by being able to right click surely you can remember it's name?
If i had a ton of applications installed and could not remember it's name...How am i going to navigate to it to right click uninstall?
I can't see how it could say any time. If i did not need an application any more it takes 2 seconds to start the uninstaller process....
All this of course is ignoring alans comment about correctly uninstalling an application.

WebAtom's and ident's posts contradict one another, and thus confuse to me.
If I add AVG to the 'ignore' list, what do I lose (in terms of clean-up) and what do I gain in terms of completeness?
How do the contradict each other? WebAtom said the file it is cleaning which by the log posted is nested under the directory \Backups\
I said it would be disappointing if a file could read/write/delete to a Antivirus backup location
Go to options - exclude and add the file it's halting on. You wont be losing anything in completeness as you put it.
Maybe some more information here for you http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=9901
-
Might just be locked by AVG. Have you tried adding it to the ignore list?
Would be disappointing if an AV allowed access to it's backup folder
-
This is very debatable.
Debatable? It's m$ coding standards now. Just to expand on Nergals post. Vista and higher takes special permissions to write to Program Files. Programs live here. Not data. Imagine if any one could just write to this location? replacing important exe.
Microsoft now suggests 3 places to consider.
- Common AppData, which is shared by all users
- Non-roaming AppData, which is specific to the computer.
- Roaming AppData, which will be part of a user's profile if they are on a domain.
Roaming AppData would be best considered here. Would ensure users who had the program installed on multiple computers on a domain, the settings would not needed to be set up on each machine
Just realized i'm going off topic here so i will end here.
sorry
- Common AppData, which is shared by all users

I think my javascript skills will be coming out tomorrow, see what i can knock up to shrink your posts

I know i linked you to this thread to read my opinion on forensic data removal but was it necessary to bump a 4 month old thread that was started by a blatant troll who never come back?
-
Applications should not be writing to Program files. Application data is more suitable.
-
Me too. It seems they can't understand why all Registry cleaners have to do more than one pass...and saying Gutmann is good? Seriously?
Exactly what brought my attention.
CCleaner should backup everything

Have i understood correctly. You want ccleaner to back up the junk it deletes? Would be a bit counter productive would you not agree?
