If you can't find them in the registry look elsewhere, since CCleaner can detect registry and files: * C:\Program Files * C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data * C:\Documents and Settings\Your User Name\Application Data * C:\Documents and Settings\Your User Name\Local Settings\Application Data

See if this topic helps any, someone with the same issue: http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=41890

They're aware of it annoying people therefore bumping the topic is of no use!

Make sure you're using the newest version which is: 4.18.4844 If you don't have that version you can download it here.

It's lawsuit bait if you ask me.

It could because often it takes several programs to clean up a malware infection and a virus scan nowadays doesn't necessarily remove everything or fix the damage left behind. For help removing malware visit a malware removal site listed in item 10 here: http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showannouncement=15&f=4

"They don't have the money to add security", yet in my opinion one can't afford to not have security. If this is about those celebrity photos stolen, well they shouldn't put birthday suit photos on the Internet, there's a thing called Common Sense.

Good to hear that it works via USB. I've personally never had a Macrium Reflect restoration fail. I always verify the backup image immediately after creating it, and allow for verification before restoring an image - the only way to be 100% sure.

You need to tell it which 'Cookies to Keep': http://www.piriform.com/docs/ccleaner/ccleaner-settings/choosing-which-cookies-to-keep

Does that happen during the installation, or after it's installed and you run CCleaner? If it won't install here's some things to try: http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=5739

To get the file and folder structure restored (you need to restore onto another disk though so you're not overwriting what you want to restore): 1. Open Recuva, and click cancel if the Wizard startup GUI shows to get into the main Recuva window. 2. In the main Recuva window click: Options -> Actions -> Restore folder structure Also see the help documentation before you start: http://www.piriform.com/docs

Wouldn't hurt to also run ChkDsk as a precaution: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2641432

The only thing needed from those posted settings were these: Monitoring=0 SystemMonitoring=0

CCleaner is NOT a malware removal tool, and it is NOT anti-malware, anti-virus, or anti-spyware! If you think your computer is possibly infected read item #10 in the forum rules which lists reputable trusted forums and sites that have free malware removal help.

If you're using a winapp2.ini file they'll show up in the large Cleaner button area, and the cleaners will have an asterisk after them, such as these examples: If you don't see any of those it means you aren't using a winapp2.ini file and can ignore my posts about it. If you do however see asterisks after any of the cleaners untick them to see if that fixes the problem you're having.

Being careful with addons/extensions is a must! The comments about CNET's download site in the article were interesting, but already known as an untrustworthy site to download anything from. The only thing CNET has I'll bother with are their car reviews on YouTube. My mother installed some cleaning tool on her Kindle Fire (no it wasn't CCleaner) that was recommended by an Amazon.com tech support person to "make it go faster." Long story short she ran it only once, and it nuked the Kindle making it unable to start anymore. I had never heard of that cleaning tool or company behind it and told her to remove it, but she didn't listen to me.

If it's like all the other settings when you update it should respect your previous settings.

It's located in (tip: maximize the GUI for Advanced to show): Options -> Advanced If you prefer to use the command-line parameters for it instead (in shortcuts, batch files, scripts, etc.,), see here: http://www.piriform.com/docs/ccleaner/advanced-usage/command-line-parameters --------- Edit: Since you're the second person to bring something like this up. I've reported it to the admin because if the GUI is sized too small the 'Advanced' button completely disappears.

Although CCleaner is often seen as having a "gentle" registry cleaner people still need to be careful using it and in some instances people have posted about it breaking something. So it's valid to ask questions about it beforehand if someone is uncomfortable with it - rather than feeling sorry later.

The .ini file Nergal is referring to will be in the CCleaner folder and named: ccleaner.ini

I meant HKCU, as a per-user setting. However you can also add HKLM as a system-wide setting just to make sure it's fully excluded.

A registry exclude may do the trick in CCleaner at: Options -> Exclude -> Add -> Registry The registry key should be located at: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office

You probably need to enable the Cookies to Keep, see here how: http://www.piriform.com/docs/ccleaner/ccleaner-settings/choosing-which-cookies-to-keep

Something to try: 1. Open CCleaner. 2. Go into: Options -> Settings 3. Untick/disable the two items show within the blue box in the screenshot below (click the screenshot image to enlarge it): 4. Now tick/enable those two items and see if they work correctly now by right clicking the Recycle Bin and using both of them. If they don't work: 1. Untick/disable them again. 2. Restart your computer. 3. Tick/enable them again and see if they work. If none of the above works you may need to uninstall CCleaner, and then reinstall it.

It will show as understood in previous versions of windows the list from "My Recent Documents", it looks like its about to delete the documents but it doesn't it just removes the .LNK (links) in Recent Documents.
