@Alan_B Jumplists is a reg/junk (not reg integrity but it cleans a special key) so does not list results in result section [Taskbar Jump Lists] ID=1031 LangSecRef=3002 LangRef=3133 DetectOS=6.1 Default=true SpecialKey1=N_EX_JUMP_LISTS MR_T or other developer can you answer this one? I find it unclear when things cleaned are special key so I'm not sure where to do this from either (thus my watching this thread )

I answered that call in my thing

it will write to the registry or create a new CCleaner.ini Below picture compares the two files and shows as identical. and both are only 1kb big

nO!!!! Bumper (reply #10) is a sneaky Spammer!!

no I think this is more a question of making a winapp2.ini but I (or better a user of these programs) would need to figure out the settings however, yes include/exclude would work

server 2000 os and windows client 2000 are one and the same as far as compatiblilty just less features in the latter, you should have no issue running on 2000 (though I thought 98 wasn't supported by ccleaner any more (I had to use 1.x on my 98 VM )

nor does WFS give you anymore free space than you had previously (and with win7 it may give less as a shadow copy might be made not sure)

both portable.dat are indentical (both plain text files which simply state #PORTABLE#)so it should not be a problem to erase one. I think they are throw backs from when CCleaner was 1.x but MR T. may have to answer that one. lang file (if you want english) can all be deleted, same with license

OT the folder issue, with the portable is definitly a OS bug or a bug in the drive on which that portable is loaded. The only dif between installed ccleaner and Portable is that Portable stores to the ini by default and with out choice, installed stores to reg and gives the (better IMHO) choice of storing to ini. 1) I disagree with most people here and say All accounts is a bad thing. and will get many people angry b/c ini (and probably reg) is shared i believe (at the vary least on an xp install where there is no restriction to writing in the Program files dir) and thus if Bob-Admin checks that off so he'll be able to clean tim's account too, then when sue cleans it'll clean bob's account when he may not want it to. (course that is better than completly deleting tim's user folder as happened to a previous poster) 2) NO, other apps do this and (as has been stated) this is not the point of ccleaner as a program (I have enough issue with WFS and it's at least simular to the point) 3) you have answered your own question on this one via the word choice "sometimes." sometimes yes they are useless and sometimes removing them will break a program to the point of neededing reinstall. Also as Most people do not unhide hidden files it has the chance of deleting folders that DO have something in them and are needed. 4) what backup files? not all backup files are created equal, not all backup files use .bkp or .old and many backlup files are QUITE needed and shopuld be handled by their respective programs. 5) see 4 6) why? if you don't want them turn them off else, the system spends time (slows down) rebuilding them because some one deleted them.

Umm, While I appreciate you are trying to help, perhaps you need to read the OP's question better Also it is 100% a bad idea for anyone to turn off UAC IMNSHVEO

the Antispy/virus programs run as System but, ccleaner need to run as a user as to clean the users files (and welcome to forum )

however maybe you can tell ccleaner to exclude the files. ? maybe the only way to really find out is to one by one check each entry, clean and see if it deletes, then uncheck that one and check the next one though I'm assume you have "Desktop Shortcuts" Checked off and that is the one doing it

you can't

1) index.dat files are deleted (at system restart) but the system then recreates them (removing them is akin to vacuming them empty)

Bitdefender is telling him CCleaner is a Virus (i believe) If you downloaded CCleaner from this site or from FileHippo (only those two sites) Bitdefender is reporting this falsely. Please contact the makers of Bitdefender and inform them of this error. If you downloaded CCLeaner from any other site, you may indeed have an infection. ******************************************************************************** ************************ Si vous avez t?l?charg? depuis ce site CCleaner ou de FileHippo (seuls les deux sites) BitDefender est signal? ce tort. S'il vous pla?t communiquer avec les responsables de Bitdefender et de les informer de cette erreur. Si vous avez t?l?charg? CCleaner de tout autre site, vous pouvez en effet avoir une infection.

Administrator does not equal UAC/Admin privilages. There's not much you can/should do about UAC/ccleaner. I DO NOT EVER recommend turning UAC off (even if you were an advanced user with 40 years of programming experience I would not suggest to you to turn it off)

I don't understand why youy bother with a lot of what you have there 2/5 of what you are cleaning is already cleaned by the embedded Antivir Desktop entry. and 2 more listed are logs, which i would assume most people wouldn't want to clean also, obviously will not work for OP as his PE version is not detected by the dectect you give which is the same as the detect you've put in yours Again the embedded code for Antivir (already cleaned by ccleaner) is [AntiVir Desktop] ID=2138 LangSecRef=3024 Detect=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Avira\AntiVir Desktop Default=True FileKey1=%commonappdata%\Avira\AntiVir Desktop\TEMP|*.* FileKey2=%ProgramFiles%\Avira\AntiVir Desktop|*.old FileKey3=%ProgramFiles%\Avira\AntiVir Desktop|*.tmp FileKey4=%ProgramFiles%\Avira\AntiVir Desktop\FAILSAFE|*.tmp

IS not the same thing as run a Admin You need to use UAC and accept running with admin privilages try to run regedit.exe and do file import

As has been said the billion other times it has been suggested registry defragmenation is a myth. It does nothing and can cause issues computers and not any better for it On point two, why would one need a complete Reg backup via a garbage cleaner? if you want a reg backup use eRunt instead of mucking/bloating ccleaner with a feature most would not use at all or even misuse. Ccleaner does what it does well and does backup the indvidual entries you may wish to remove just incase.

i'm with ident on this one if you want to use another program or both who'd stopping you, if not for your advanced posting status I'd call you a troll with this thread but. . . that's not to say you don't raise good points but who cares. Sorry but meh

Are you still using the old version of antivir? it's hard for anyone not running that version to help you as they'd have to install it in order to find the regentry it would be better to update you sp and the n update your AV and then if still haveing issues come back so we can find the regentry. SP3 has been out for a while and there really aren't any problems with it. though what I'd suggest is download the SP update (don't install yet) download antivir 10 (don't install yet) uninstall antivir 8 install sp install antivir 10 (This may be a silly and useless way to do it. . . but if you are that worried about the sp breaking your computer, though I don't see why, I've updated ~40+ xp computers to sp3 including 1 virtual machine and had 0 issues) If you are unwilling to update Can you at least confirm the existance of FileKey1=%commonappdata%\AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic\FAILSAVE|*.* FileKey2=%commonappdata%\AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic\INFECTED|*.* FileKey3=%commonappdata%\AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic\LOGFILES|*.* FileKey4=%commonappdata%\AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic\SYSSAVE|*.* FileKey5=%commonappdata%\AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic\TEMP|*.* FileKey6=%ProgramFiles%\AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic|*.old Try to make your detect just Detect=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Avira\

other solution (though I agree with the above) search the forum and you'll find not only people with your problem but us answering this over and over and over again. If WFS doesn't finish 1) newer version of clcean will find and clean the file or 2) find the HUGE file at the root of the drive with random letter for a name Permanently delete it

Didn't work for me (Moderators can you merge the two simular paste suggestions posted today to one thread thx )

+1 (stupid itunes and Acrobat and their desktop icons coming back)
