Just means that defraggler has been coded as a single instance application. The others have not. As said above whats the concern?

Hello and welcome to the forum. CCleaner does not currently have a right click shell extension although it has been suggested.

Or check the registry location Start - Run - Type regedit - HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Piriform\CCleaner - BackupDir (Dir listed here)

Add a new short cut. Right click Properties In target "C:\Program Files\CCleaner\CCleaner.exe" /options

Glad it worked out well. I'd strongly advise reading Augeas link.

I have never tried to wfs on this machine, let alone using 35 passes so can not assist with the time delay. I do know how ever on a WFS friends machine many years ago 35 passes took 4 days. But like you say, interesting...... I do feel Piriforms documentation does not reflect the same high standards as there applications. And a over haul of it would be nice to see. I do feel some more user friendly messages would benefit inexperienced users. But that is off thread topic but maybe a topic of suggestion to think about in the future? edit*** at last part I will test both 1,35 passes on a old machine here tomorrow and time.

Download http://windirstat.info/ (if space is there) it will display where all the space is being taken up.

@ Mike Langlois, Telecaster - 35 passes Is it really pointless???? The simple answer is no it is not pointless. Your purpose is to make sensitive data unrecoverable. 35 passes will achieve this. Complete and utter waste of time? Completely, as what Koozer meant. 35 passes was designed to cover multiple patterns designed for different drives. Newer drives have different encoding techniques making many of the passes a total waste of time. Remember 35 passes was designed a long time ago. Are you expecting a computer forensic expert to be examining your drive any time soon? Of course not. Do you have friends with a magnetic forensic scope? Of course not. No intelligence agencies has ever claimed to of been able to recover over written data. One pass of true random data is enough. The only reason i can see why 35 passes is used is to stay in check with other privacy erasers that offer it. It would also be requested in suggestions more then a built in up dater. Some more information on the subject that we have answered here http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=28748&st=0&p=172178&hl=magnetic%20overspill&fromsearch=1entry172178

There has always been this haze of WFS is set to 1 pass defaulted. Is this documented? Who first stated this? Maybe it use to be in earlier versions. None of us who frequently answer WFS questions even bother with the tool. But if you take a look for a second.... CLEANING CANCELLED - (8.302 secs) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This cleaning is incomplete ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 0 bytes removed. Secure file deletion enabled - DOD 5220.22-M (3 passes) CLEANING CANCELLED - (2.200 secs) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This cleaning is incomplete ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 0 bytes removed. Secure file deletion enabled - Gutmann (35 passes) So in actual fact CCleaner does appear to be now able or always use to be able???? to WFS with selected passes. The Two pasted texts are from a cancellation of WFS For give me if that is not what you was referring to Augeas

I would also suggest on reading what wipe free space actually does before using it again.

I would strongly suggest avast. Free, User friendly, Customizable.

Is piriform a full time job for the devs or personal hobby

My point, After a fresh format the other day i ticked "hide warning messages" and instantly get on cleaning "Firefox needs to be closed" "This will permanently remove data from your computer" etc so what the hell does it hide lol

But can you actually think of any particular message it hides.

I would also be interested to know which warning messages it is meant to hide.

Hello and welcome to the forum. Yes this is perfectly valid. Piriform or file hippo is safe to download from. Direct link is http://download.piriform.com/ccsetup235.exe

As usual, very plain & not a lot going on

I would not of thought they would get any money from file hippo from downloads.

its TEXT file

Can you please explain how a text file can cause any damage?

Its wrong for a privacy cleaner to remove possible privacy issues by default????

Good old mIRC. I use to love scripting mIRC back in the msn chat room era. Use to cause the sysops havok

CCleaner has no anti malware capabilities what so ever.So i can not explain any thing since as said above does not exist.
