  1. Which web browser is that cookie stuck in? You may want to try the cleaning ability that's built into the web browser to see if it can get rid of it.
  2. Right click is something to try in various programs, some have hidden not so obvious features in a right click menu.
  3. See here for instructions on creating a new shortcut that will allow CCleaner to clean your computer, and then automatically shutdown your computer: http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=16551
  4. It gave me issues with Comodo Dragon (a Chrome-clone) to the point I had to switch to SRWare Iron (a Chrome-clone). I suspect it's corrupting the profile making the damage permanent in Chrome and in some Chrome-clones that it's allowed to clean.
  5. Then I don't know. If you use the winapp2.ini community file perhaps look through that to make sure something extra isn't being cleaned.
  6. Is that the S.M.A.R.T. status? If so it could be the hard disk is about to fail/die so backing up all important files to external media (USB Thumb Drives, external hard disks, CDs, DVDs, etc.,) is something to start doing immediately.
  7. I've split this into it's own unique topic since it had nothing to do with the winapp2.ini topic. ------------- To keep your IE passwords: Open CCleaner. In the Cleaner->Windows section look for Internet Explorer and untick Saved Passwords. See screenshot (click to enlarge): You many optionally want to configure which Cookies to Keep, just in case this is also what's causing you the issue.
  8. I've had that issue before using a different tool many years ago before CCleaner had the ability. In my case being on XP I had the recovery console where I could repair (if I'm remembering correctly) either the MFT or Bootsector to change the drive format from RAW back into what it was supposed to be. It seems in some instances when cancelling/interrupting wipe free space tools the end result can be a hard disk being deemed RAW by Windows. James Litten has a page here with some deep reading on how to repair it: http://html5.litten.com/updated-how-to-fix-external-disk-drive-suddenly-became-raw/
  9. That isn't really how CCleaner functions. Although I supposed (having never tried it) that you could disable everything in the Cleaner section of CCleaner, and then manually input what you want it to clean in only the Downloads folder via the Include feature. Edit: If CCleaner doesn't just clean that downloads folder they way you want you may be able to make a Batch (.bat) file to clean unwanted filetypes/extensions from the downloads folder. I personally do this to remove junk from icon packages I download, see the example in the codebox below. If you're not into making a Batch file there's bound to be a freeware tool that can eliminate filetypes from folders. attrib /s -r -h -s "C:\Download\*.DS_Store" attrib /s -r -h -s "C:\Download\thumbs.db" del /q /f /s "C:\Download\*.DS_Store" del /q /f /s "C:\Download\thumbs.db"
  10. Disable Office 2013 cleaning to see if that works: 1. Open CCleaner. 2. Click the Applications tab. 3. Scroll down to the Applications section. 4. Untick Office 2013. Screenshot (click to enlarge): Edit: I guess, without actually knowing for certain that it could also be a Microsoft cookie you'd need to place into the Cookies to Keep section.
  11. Well the last version that works on Win98 is v2.36.1233, which I mentioned here with links to download it. I know that's the last version that works with it because it's in my backups for my old Win98 computer. That old version of CCleaner is supposed to work with Win98 up to WinXP!
  12. I think since Windows 10 is so new that registry cleaning should be left alone in it. Also if you were attempting to upgrade and your Windows 7 had been installed for awhile there could've been plenty wrong with the OS which may not have been obvious, however a clean install of the OS would be what I'd do.
  13. I wonder if that network card in your machine is starting to die. I had all matter of problems last year (or was it the year before) when mine was starting to fail. At least in some circumstances they start showing their age giving noticeable issues before completely going kaput allowing us ample time to replace them. Replacing them is very cheap, hardly costing any money and is worth doing even for very old computers. Edit: * It also helps to replace the Ethernet cord if you have it directly wired into your computer, those can fail if they're bumped all the time or frequently unplugged and plugged back in. * If using DSL it may help to replace the phone wire going into the back of the DSL modem.
  14. Everything posted on this whole forum is suspect to me when it isn't specifically about Piriform software, and this is especially the case with new members who post only once. Now it's different if it's someone who's legitimately looking for help where they keep a topic alive when genuinely needing help - but that's rare for non-Piriform related topics.
  15. If you have a recent System Restore Point that may be the best route to undo the changes since a restore point will fully restore the Windows registry.
  16. There's no attachment that I can see. Just post the contents inside of the saved .REG file as plain text into your post. Note that you can open the .REG file with Notepad so that you can copy the contents of it.
  17. I think you have little to worry about in my own opinion because you'll have firewall software running either what's built into Windows or some 3rd party one you've installed, and then you'll have real-time protection antivirus software running. If you want to make your network more secure change the broadband modem WiFi ("Wireless") setting to 'Hide SSID', then nobody nearby will even see your network SSID. Note that some wireless devices such as tablets, etc., may not be able to connect to your wireless anymore if you 'Hide SSID'.
  18. What web browser to you wish to retain the visted website history for? I know in Internet Explorer you'd untick this in CCleaner: Cleaner > Windows > Internet Explorer > Recently Typed URLs For other browsers "maybe it's Internet History you'd untick" but I'm not sure.
  19. Depends upon what's being uninstalled since some programs request a restart immediately after uninstall such as security programs (antivirus, anti-malware, etc.,).
  20. With winapp2.ini you can make a Cyberfox only cleaner and have it show up in CCleaner as Cyberfox.
  21. Starting with v3.00.1303 CCleaner only supports Windows XP and newer only, so maybe that will help your search. Maybe start with v2.36.1233 and see how that goes, available on FileHippo.com and OldVersion.com.
  22. Maybe a solution to untick it, but people have stated on the forum in the past unticking it didn't solve their issue, hence the reason I eluded to making an exclusion.
  23. I found that annoying that you get that ability after visiting the mother base, so I re-did the mission where you rescue Miller to use that. Ended up finding a puppy and sent it back to the mother base. I hope the enemies get more difficult, because what I've seen so far is too easy.
  24. You could make an Exclude in CCleaner (Options > Exclude) so that it won't clean MSE log files by excluding the folder where they're stored. They should be in one of the User Profile Application Data folders.
  25. Got the PS4 disc and I've played it for about 8 hours straight. I really didn't care for the very beginning, but started to enjoy it more when set loose on the battlefield. Can't say I care for the new weapon/item creation system as it seems too fiddly and time-consuming and I'd much rather find new weapons intact that don't need made right on the battlefield.
