Hello:
Under: Options-->Advanced the following is ticked:
"Only delee files in windows Temp folder older than 24 hours"
Because I've been getting hit with a number of web-based Java exploits lately, I'd like to delete as much Temp files as quickly s possible. So I'm tempted to untick this setting.
Other than Temp files stored in the middle of an installation, is there a good reason to want to delay the deletion of new temp files for 24 hours?
Are there any risks in unticking that setting?
Thanks in advance

Yes I asked about this one Dennis if you remember.
Its funny it clears straight away with Win98SE but WinXP you have to restart.
===========================
Thanks for responses.
Perhaps a better way to deal with this is to learn exactly where the file containing those Start-> Run items is located on my PC?
I'm using : Windows XP Professional Edition SP3
That way I can copy n paste them from there, if possible.
Then simply allow CCLeaner to clean everything.

Hi eliuri.
The checkbox you mention above .. CCleaner\Windows\Windows Explorer\Run (in Start Menu), is the one that will leave your "Run" dropdown menu intact if you leave it unchecked.
If you check it, the "Run" dropdown menu list is cleared on reboot.

Hope that helps.
=====================================
Thanks Dennis. But apparently it's in a different location in my PC.
When I put a check in that box and Analyze via CCleaner, it reads: 0 bytes to be removed.
So I'm wondering if those Start-->Run items might be located elsewhere on my PC.
Posibly Windows XP Professional Edition is different?

Hi:
I'd like to avoid deleting Start-->Run items. Way too many to recall.
Problem:
CCleaner doesnt show those items in the expected place:
Windows Explorer (Run in Start Menu)
Question:
Where else in the CCleaner panel might these be. So I can be sure to uncheck that?
Thanks in advance:

Thanks Davey:
I'm wondering if there's a specific file somewhere on the PC which lists those run items. I'd then exclude that file from CCleaner, much the same as I can exclude certain cokies or folders as things are now.. Or alternatively, I can convert it to a text file so as to readily reconstruct it. I'd rather not do anything in the registry about this....
Thanks again for the referral to that MSDN article:

davey is correct. The reason those items arent shown is because they are stored in the regustry so there arent any files to delete/remove.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RunMRU
Using regedit you can navigate to that branch then right click and export. This way you'll have a backup of the Run items.
============================================
I did delete the Histroy from the IE7 browser, and that did cause those run items to be lost.
Fortunately, I was able to reconstruct much of the list. Though not all of it.
Seems this may vary from PC to PC or perhaps its something peculiar to the configuration?
In any case, I'll remember never to delete the history item again.

In the cleaner section goto Windows Explorer and uncheck Run (in start menu). That should prevent the items from being removed.
Odd Diskmat :
I put a check only in that Windows Explorer -->Run box, unchecked everything else, and then hit: Analyze..it showed 0 Bytes.
I know I have about 40 or so entries in Start-->Run
Wouldn't Analyze have given me some sort of list as to what is in there?

Hello:
I'm new to CCleaner V.2.07.575.
I recall there was some deletion of temporary items in IE7 which also removed the entries in Start-->Run
I'm not sure which of the seven delte boxes in IE 7 removes those.
Possibly it was some other temporary file/folder altogether.
I'm trying to avoid removing those Run entries, as its a fairly long list and I don't recall all the Run items.
What action by CCleaner need I avoid so as to preserve those?
Thank you:

only delete files older than 24 hours: risk of unchecking this?

Hi from the original poster:
I use Firefox for all my browsing, but some of the applications do use IE 8 to store their cache. I'm not sure if the Java Script exploits are coming via my Firefox browsing or from that cache stored in IE.
I'm still not clear if its ok to untick that "only delete files older than 24 hours" option. I'd like to to so because theres a chance such malware can lurk in those temp files
Oooops..My apologies. i see that Superfast had in fact answered this in his second post above, but I hadnt read that paragraph. I"ll reinsert the tick if I need to install something requiring a reboot. Thanks for your responses
