Windows 10 is probably too new to be running any registry cleaner on it, even the so-called "gentle" registry cleaner that CCleaner has. ______________________ Microsoft's registry cleaner that was built into their free online virus scanning service was very dangerous, it would cause Office to need a repair install. CCleaner's registry cleaner never finds anything on my system anymore partly because there's no Microsoft updates for XP anymore, but also because I track the installation of software with Total Uninstall and when I remove software with it there's no left-overs for the registry cleaner to find.

Wouldn't know if it can "hurt" your C drive, however I absolutely would not be using the computer while a Wipe Free Space is taking place, but then again stuff like antivirus will update in the background, etc. Probably best to start the Wipe Free Space just before you go to bed, when you wake up it should be finished (depending upon the size of your hard disk).

To minimize program opening delays as much as possible when I used Panda Free Antivirus I changed a configurable delay setting in it to the absolute minimum which was 10 seconds (can't remember what it is exactly but it's nestled in the settings), since it would commonly cause some programs to take a very long time to open. I wonder if antivirus with cloud scanning capabilities (and most have that ability now) could adversely effect users if the cloud server was slow, or down.

That's not a regular folder for XP. One thing though is software designed for newer versions of Windows that will still work on XP may use a newer folder structure or be hardcoded to use it even though it isn't normal for XP, so it's possible to have non-default locations for XP like that, although I've only seen that happen once when using a software.

Yes, or uninstall it. Having both running can slow down your browsing or even possibly cause issues.

The dev's don't necessarily always post in all topics reporting issues.

They'll never learn! Adios Domingo.

With that about.config tweak Firefox still complains.

He means this Corona Click to enlarge: When downloading uBO from it's homepage you have to right-click the download in Firefox and 'Save Link As', otherwise if you try to download it normally Firefox still won't allow the addon, in my case Firefox closed itself. After uBO is downloaded to your download folder just drag 'n' drop the downloaded uBlock0.firefox.xpi file onto the open Firefox window to update.

Which version of CCleaner? Crashes when, when you're trying to install, or trying to open an already installed CCleaner? If it crashes during install you can get the newest Slim build at: https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/builds

Wonder if this would be of any help for that folder you deleted (scroll down the page until you find them giving info on what you've removed and how to restore it): http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/18583-user-folders-restore-default-location.html

If Avast is still installed it has self-protection to stop its files and registry settings from being tampered with - any good antivirus should do this. If Avast is uninstalled it could merely be that the permissions on the key need to be manually changed so that it can be removed.

Correct Trium they both delete this: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Regedit|LastKey I made a post for the bug fixers to report it since it's a duplication, so if someone wanted to keep the MRU they'd never know there were two items in CCleaner to untick/disable.

I saw the changelog (read it everytime actually), but I do like the fuzzy feeling of having the latest and greatest uBO.

Just looked again, you will need to untick both of these since they'll both remove the RegEdit MRU: * Cleaner > Windows (tab) > Windows Explorer > Other Explorer MRUs * Cleaner > Applications (tab) > Windows > RegEdit

Anyone notice how slow the official Firefox addons is to offer an update to uBlock Origin? The official Firefox addons page is on 1.5.5 that's two versions behind compared to the releases page with 1.5.7 here: https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/releases

It's Other Explorer MRUs located in: Cleaner > Windows (tab) > Windows Explorer > Other Explorer MRUs Untick Other Explorer MRUs to retain the MRU history. This is what it contains which is removing the RegEdit MRU: [Other Explorer MRUs] ID=1011 LangSecRef=3002 LangRef=3124 Default=True RegKey1=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ComDlg32 RegKey2=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FindComputerMRU RegKey3=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\PrnPortsMRU RegKey4=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Map Network Drive MRU RegKey5=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ComputerDescriptions RegKey6=HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Direct3D\MostRecentApplication|Name RegKey7=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Direct3D\MostRecentApplication|Name RegKey8=HKLM\Software\Microsoft\DirectDraw\MostRecentApplication RegKey9=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\DirectInput\MostRecentApplication|Id RegKey10=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\DirectInput\MostRecentApplication|Name RegKey11=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\WordWheelQuery RegKey12=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\TypedPaths RegKey13=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Applets\Regedit|LastKey RegKey14=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Wallpaper\MRU RegKey15=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Wallpapers\Images Hmm, upon looking into this for you I realized that's why my wallpaper folder is always forgotten. Would be nice if Piriform separated some of those MRUs for a more tailored configuration.

Free users have to manually download new versions, and then just install over the pre-existing version. Keep an eye on the Announcements forum area to see when new versions are released which has been historically once per month. The download is available at http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download However, if you want the Portable or Slim builds you'd go here instead: https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/builds

That problem has existed for a longtime before Win10. What I've did in XP to get around it is set up a view that I want system-wide and then via Folder Options set all folders to have the same view. Of course that may not work the same on Win10.

Maybe that system needs a default browser set. Or maybe it's malware related, if you suspect malware read item 10 here and choose a malware removal forum.

From my experience with audio it can depend upon what format something was encoded into, and what compression level/quality was used. Video is a whole other beast.

Almost sounds like a registry setting isn't getting created or updated.

VLC has all those audio+video codecs too, it will be interesting if it's light on memory.

You could achieve this using the built-in Windows Task Scheduler by setting a set time when you know you're unlikely to be using your computer, and the command-line parameters (see the docs) to automatically run CCleaner using the /AUTO switch CCleaner.exe /AUTO

WMP has all those codecs in the background, so I wonder if it's perhaps loading a bunch of them. For music try Foobar2000.
