  1. CCleaner wipes the data record of Microsoft Security Essentials that records when the last scan was run. As a consequence, MSE keeps saying I haven't done a scan lately and showing an orange icon, even though I do daily scans. According to Microsoft, this is because CCleaner wipes the record. It can be stopped by removing CCleaner from the Applications list, but it would obviously be better for new users if the scan data record was not removed in the first place.

  2. How about this quick fix???

    (Appears in the Right-Click Menu for the Recycle Bin if you've chosen to add it)

     

    Add this in the registry (not sure if the signature changes for each install though - someone needs to confirm)

     

     

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\Shell\Run CCleaner and Shutdown][HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\Shell\Run CCleaner and Shutdown\command]@="C:\\Program Files\\CCleaner\\ccleaner.exe /AUTO /SHUTDOWN"

     

     

    Search for ccleaner.exe /AUTO in the registry.

    (I'm NOT responsible for you effing up your PC if you go fiddling in the registry and don't know what you're doing!)

     

     

    Could you give me a similar Registry entry for running CCleaner after each use of IE shuts down?

     

    Thanks,

  3. Hi Bob,

    Yes,there are some known shortcomings with Vista 64bit and they are working on them.

    However,you may be hearing from other users like you soon.I am sure they can give some pointers.

    The whole rewrite of CCleaner was to help cover users like you.

    Thanks for the report and Welcome to the forum !!!

    Hi Davey,

     

    Update! Having read the FAQs (when all else fails), I see that CCleaner only cleans the current users stuff. Now when I open CCleaner, the UAC panel pops up and I can click on Bob (me) a standard user, or Administrator. I've been clicking on Administrator, thinking it needed Admin priviledges, but just for a change I clicked on Bob, and now CCleaner does see my cookies in the 'Cookies/low' folder and deletes them. If I open CCleaner by clicking on Administrator, it switches to looking at the Administrator account, and doesn't find my cookies. So all is well, except that a note is needed somewhere explaining that even if you are in one user account, clicking on the administrator to start CCleaner seems to switch it to looking at the Administrator account instead of the current account. Hope that is clear! So nothing wrong with CCleaner, just me.

     

    This stuff beats Su Doku for exercising the brain cells.

  4. CCleaner doesn't seem to know where cookies are stored in Vista64 using UAC. They are in the 'cookies/low' folder which does not get cleaned it seems. No way I can find of telling CCleaner where to find stuff, and the custom folder option doesn't allow system folders to be added. :(
