  1. Someone started using Common Sense with the trademark tacked onto the end of it I think during some firewall discussion or some other security discussion on Hydrogenaudio.org, and well it stuck. The trademark at the end could be read in different ways I suppose as some people don't use Common Sense and just write some bull crap that makes No Sense.

     

    No Sense aka Nonsense® is for people making stupid suggestions without proof or any knowledge of a subject and seems to be in more abundance than Common Sense. Common Sense shall however always prevail.

  2. Run RegSeeker and search for a .cpl file that's related to it, maybe you'll find one maybe you won't, if you find it just rename such as "broken.cpl" to "broken-.cpl". You could then do a registry search for it using RegSeeker.

  3. Any negatove consequences to secure file deletion?

     

    I'll answer this one. The only negative side-effect would be if you accidently deleted something important. Once the file is shredded there's slim to any chances you'd be able to recover it.

  4. Let us make a deal here: we only download and install a new version of CCleaner if it does not contain bloatware. And we tell this intention to all our friends and acquintances.

     

    I was already doing that since it started included the toolbar. Funny thing is the basic and slim installer combined weigh in as a smaller download together versus the one with the toolbar. I'm just glad and fortunate that there's versions still available that will fit onto one floppy disk without me having to split the installer into two halves.

  5. Well you have two options then, as I can't help you if you don't understand how to begin making the winapp2.ini entry because I'm not going to install IE7 beta 2 to do it, sorry:

    • Plead to a member that uses IE7 beta 2 and whom knows how to write the needed removal routines into winapp2.ini.
    • Wait for CCleaner to be updated to officially include IE7. You of course will most likely have to wait for IE7 final which will probably be months away, that is if MrG the CCleaner developer doesn't feel the need to include a cleaning routine for a beta product that may change in its final release version.

     

  6. I actually think he's rather decent myself, I remember watching a show that he was on some years ago on public television which made me wonder why so many people spew hate remarks towards him. But I suppose if we were rich and in the public eye multitudes of people would talk s**t about us too.

  7. No real "fix" for that, other than turning it off, but at least you can isolate the problem.

     

    Kick it several times! If that doesn't work bribe kobrakommander56 for some of his C4 cache and blow it up.

  8. Well, I am at a loss. I can't figure out how to make winapp2 work...and I did read your instructions. I just don't understand.

     

    Post the entry you've been toying with in winapp2.ini.

    Note: Since I don't have IE7 beta 2 installed I can only tell you if you've made input errors into winapp2.ini just by eyeballing it, I can't confirm correct registry or directory locations.

  9. There's also DeepBurner Free. I think it's unfarely labeled as adware as it doesn't phone home and only displays a couple of small ad's to upgrade to DeepBurner Pro. Note: I tested it and it can't create gapless audio CD's, well at least it couldn't on my two systems, however there's Burrrn for creating only audio CD's.

  10. CCleaner doesn't find all those different junk extensions because it's mainly an application cleaner which means it doesn't hunt out .bak, .tmp files, etc., that may be hidden in other folders. It's also another reason why CCleaner is safer than SysMech.

     

    You can however enable CCleaner to delete .tmp, .bak or whatever extension you want using a customized winapp2.ini entry you'd have to create for yourself. To figure out how to use winapp2.ini you can download it from here.

  11. The problem though is if MrG doesn't add a Donate button into the application most people will never even think about it.

     

    Edit: A prime place to put such a button in near the top in the ugly ass grey blended area to the far right of the icon and system stats.
