  1. Great contribution Alan! I use CCleaner at work, and I need to clean multiple computers. These are in public use so there should not be anything of value in the temp folders. That's why I use INI files, so that the settings are specific to the computer, not the user. And if it's been checked to run CCleaner on startup, it makes an entry in HKEY_LOCAL_USER which means it only runs on the specific user. Any other user on the same PC must also tick this choice, and also to make any changes to what CCleaner will clean, since the settings are user-specific this way. Either open your daughters account and make the changes or you can switch to a global choice (INI + LOCAL_MACHINE). Edit: Added: Isn't it common practice to place (on local machine, not on network) all your work in the user's profile folder? And temp folders are only to be used by applications, temporarily, to store information (often can be sensitive which _should_ be remove)? Please enlighten me as to what files of importance could be in the temporary folders? Thanks.
  2. I will second that to high noon. I've made tons of programs with auto-update features. It's quite easy. Things to note: hash checking on downloaded, compressed archive. Auto-auto-update, not semi-auto-update? E.g. it won't ask if it should update itself, it will handle everything automatically. 'Tis be neat.
  3. SOLUTION! I have a working solution to ALL OF YOU PROBLEMS (in this thread): First, make CCleaner save its settings to an INI file (rather than Windows' registry). Scond, remove the check on "cleanup on computer startup". Third, make a registry entry as follows: Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] "CCleaner"="\"C:\\Program Files\\CCleaner\\CCleaner.exe\" /auto" So this way, when ANY USER LOGS IN TO THE COMPUTER, CCleaner will clean their profile. That way things will always be clean. NOTICE! Remove the check to clear the recycle bin. People should empty it themselves. If they need something from there, and CCleaner removes it, that's no good. NOTICE!
  4. My solution is to make a HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Windows Run entry for CCleaner.exe /auto - also make CCleaner save settings to an INI file instead of the Windows Registry. Once ANY user logs in, CCleaner will clean their PC according to settings set in the INI file. Great stuff! Save the text in underline to a.reg and then run the file, allow Windows to merge and it's done. Then, go to CCleaner's Settings (under Advanced I think) and choose to save to INI file. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] "CCleaner"="\"C:\\Program Files\\CCleaner\\CCleaner.exe\" /auto"
  5. Quickie with no error messages or confirmations. I use CCleaner at work in multiple computers and it's been dream. However it won't using /AUTO clean the registry and I have to do that manually every now and then.
  6. Hey Suggestion follows. Why not make a complete clean button, which will run the file cleaner and the registry cleaner. Also, in the registry cleaner, make it so that after it has made a single run, and cleaned, it would make another run, and clean, and so on until zero errors are found. This is because after one set is cleaned, errors appear because some items are missing (that were just cleaned). Usually I need to do three or four runs and cleans to make it have zero errors. Quickie cleanie. CCleaner.exe /quickie
