  1. True assuming that you are using the PORTABLE version of CCleaner, or alternatively if using the normal Installed version you check the box "Save all settings to INI file" under Options \ Advanced.

     

    You are right, the information is in the registry, you can find it at "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Piriform\CCleaner" and modify it by exporting and using standat text editor on the reg file.

  2. My Ccleaner is not showing the MS SEARCH option, I think that it disappear after MS Search Helper Extension was installed.

     

    I tried making clean install of Ccleaner to see if MS SEARCH option will reappear but no luck.

     

    It is in the ccleaner.ini as "(App)MS Search=False", changing the setting to True didn't make any deference.

     

    I am not complaining because I don't use the MS SEARCH option, I just wander why this option disappeared.

     

    Attached is a copy of my ccleaner.ini file.

    ccleaner.txt

  3. Just add the drive to a working computer, use Command prompt and type "DiskPart", "list disk", find the disk drive number that you want to clean, do a "select disk" and then type "clean" to removes any and all partition or volume formatting from the disk, if you type "clean all" each and every sector on the disk is zeroed, which completely deletes all data contained on the disk but it would take a long time to finish.

     

    This will clean the drive completely and make it ready for new system.

  4. Compacting only happens "when needed" and I would guess FF4 is better at compaction at exit

     

    You must be right, I discovered that FF4 allocate a minimum of 10MB to places.sqlite file and using Speedfox compact the file to 4MB, running FF4 will rest the places.sqlite size back to 10MB. this is done to reduce file-system fragmentation and improve performance on some systems.

     

    I assume and don't know how to check it that Ccleaner will compact the places.sqlite file only if it is larger then 10MB.

  5. I upgraded my Firefox to FF4.0 and Ccleaner to V3.05.1408, this version stopped compacting the Firefox/Mozilla database.

     

    My system is Win7-64bit and my Firefox is on drive F, the program clears all the other items of Firefox such as cache, history, cookies etc. the only item that is not working is the compact databases.

     

    The configuration setup file has this setting: (App)Mozilla - Compact Databases=True

  6. I am a new user of CCleaner, and accidentally deleted some startup items from the registry...without making a backup copy (yeah mistake, i know..). Is the damage irretrievable?

     

    Now when i switch on my pc (windows XP), i just get a totally blank screen (my screen background/wallpaper is still there..but there are no desptop items and not blue bar on the bottom of the page where you can click the "start" button). The only way to access programmes/go on the internet is to hit ctrl-alt-delete, which activates the windows task manager, and from there i try to run programmes.

     

    Am i able to go back to the normal screen? If not, is there any way to download the startup items again?

     

    Thanks.

     

    Just do a system restore to few day back and get yourself back in business
