I used it on 4/26 and there is nothing wrong with my Win 10 since that date.
-
Never mind. Found it.

I do have my key. Every time Windows 10 does an update Speccy is gone. When I realize it, I need to get the program
again and forget from where.

I got Cryptwall and don't want to take a chance of infecting my external usb drive.

Found it.

Where do I find my software keys? Mainly Windows 10. The fonts are a little
small for me to see.
Thank You

Just tried cleaning again and cookies were gone.
OH Well
-
On Windows 8. No cookies were deleted. I deleted them in Internet Options and they were not detected.
Did a clean install of 4.14 and no change. Cookies are checked in main page for IE
-
From a command prompt run chkdsk c: /r and chkdsk D: /r Sorry, but I don't trust running windows utilities.

Found problem. It was permissions for my C:\Temp folder. One reason for changing, is that some program updates, are put into a \temp folder. Copy to a usb flash drive and run on other computers. Every other computer SP1 was an update. This one came with SP1. Could be some kind of Administrator thing.
Happynes is Windows !!

This is only new machine, my other 4 never had a problem. Weird Windows every version !!!!!

Thank you, I will try that. Only machine with the problm. While it shouldn't make any difference, the capitol letters were different in the two c:\temp locations Temp vs temp' . I have corrected that, uninstalled CC. Will try portable first and see what happens and then reinstall and test.
Do you know if CC uses the registry to find the Temp folders ? If it does, could be something there although everything is going to C:\ Temp the way I want.
-
On a new install, Windows 7 pro (OEM) doesn't clean temp files.
In the past I changed Environmental Variables for temp and tmp to C:\temp
This has worked for every install but this one including XP.
I like all temp files to be in one place which help searching for temp files all over the place.
Anyone have idea why Ccleaner can't find them ?
Thanks

Found out they were super cookies from flash player. They come from a weather program I use that uses flash player. Searched the company and they are not a security risk.
-
Isn't that saved in the cookie ?
-
Just ran CC (latest) on Firefox 15.0.1 and all the cookies in the left column were not removed. Happened on two computers, Win7 32bit haven't tested on 64 bit yet. I ran Clear Recent History on FF and they were gone. I use FF 99% of the time so I doubt if those cookies were from IE9.
I never have had cookies checked in Clear History.
Best way to use CC with cookies ?

Can the Prefech files be cleaned/deleted with relative safety from causing problems?
Cleaning the prefetch directory does no harm. It is best to just leave it alone. XP will clean it up about every three days while the computer is idle.
Xp uses the directory to speed loading of programs. Playing with it in the past I have noticed a very slight delay loading programs until the directory is populated again.
The machine I really notice the speed is on my Asus eee pc as the 1.6 gig Atom chip does not run at 1.6gig all the time. It's usually at the 900mhz range = SLOW.

I guess it must be CCleaner that loads all those language.bin files in the \temp directory. Which I would like to stop some way.
I check the \temp to see if something is there that I question. Just more clutter.
Checked and it's not CCleaner.
Is Speccy Wrong?

Laptops are different animals from "normal" motherboards. All depends what chips were installed. The manufacturer can install any chips even though parts of it are not used.
