i agree there should be an UNCHECK ALL box

There Name already is mud as far as i am concerned. i avoid using Adobe's products when ever possible and i make a point of refusing to buy there products under any circumstances simply because of there horrible copy protection. now don't get me wrong i don't care what a company does to protect them selves from piracy also long as they don't damage my property in doing so and i consider my computer to be my property. in there efforts to prevent piracy they not only install what could only be considered viruses but they also damaged the windows installation of thousands of legitimate paying customers forcing them to reinstall. Arggh don't get me started about adobe because i will be here all day adobe is almost as bad as if not worse then Microsoft.

I "Cloud" agree. they also need more support for laptops like information on the systems battery. a temperature logger (they already tell you the average temperature of the CPU but i would be nice to be able to leave specify running for a while and have it record the systems peek temperature so that you could run some tests walk away and check it latter to see just how hot your computer is getting under load . it should be a small but useful addition.

Meh I almost always use the 35 pass Peter Gutman routine since i usually don't have enough files for it to make a significant difference in how long it takes but that's just paranoid old me.

well i think that your best bet would be to run recuva on both your computer and your camra's memory. as those above me have said it is extremely unlike that ccleaner wiped your travel pictures. what i think is more likely is that the hostel had the computer set up so that it would clear all user data when it was shut down. i mean if i was a hostel owner i wouldn't a bunch a people's random stuff on my computer. besides it is a security risk...but it doesn't really matter what caused it my advice to you is the same. however "if" ccleaner did delete your files then hopefully it only deleted them because if ccleaner wiped (deleted and wrote over) those files then it would be a lot harder if not impossible to recover them off of your computer. the good news it that when you delete pictures off of a camera's memory card those files a usually just deleted. so don't take any more pictures with that camera until after you run recuva or another file recovery program because if you do you will be writing over those deleted files making it hard if not impossible to recover them. in the future buy some usb memory sticks, more memory cards for your camra or dvds and save your pictures on that at least until you can put them on your home computer and personally i would keep them even after that because you never know...if something happens to you computer it is always good to have a backup.

um The System Partition does not necessarily have to be the C: Drive if a person is running mulitple operating systems the C: drive is usually used up by which ever operating system is installed first and is not necessarily the one he is running CCleaner from. a person can also change the drive letter of there system partition even if they are only running one operating system although it is difficult and fairly uncommon. However having said that DennisD is correct in saying that CCleaner by default only looks in and therefor only Cleans the system partition which is usually the C: Drive. so it shouldn't be deleting files from anywhere else unless you told it too.

I Agree with all of you in fact i was just about to start a post to say the same thing but you guys beat me too it.

@ henriette if you are worried about the your c:/ drive being to big you don't have to install programs on your c:/ drive you know. personally i make a point of not installing things on c:/ i have my hard drive partitioned so regardless of how many hard drives i have my applications appear to be on a separate drive. there are many benefits to partitioning your hard drives but some of the mane one are : 1 it allows you to better organize stuff (if you want to organize your applications by type as appose to having them all in the C:\Program Files directory) and if something happens to your c:/ drive you don't lose everything. 2 it lets you back up the whole operating system partition separately from your applications so if something happens to you system you can very quickly* get you system back up and running without having to re update all of your applications *(like within 2 minutes) sorry if this is a bit confusing or over your head i know my computer stuff but i am really lousy at explaining stuff. also as far as installing CCleaner goes you don't need to uninstall anything you can just download the installer, run it and install the newest version of ccleaner over top of you old one with out any trouble. the installer will even know where you installed the old version so for people like me whole don't install anything on the c:/drive you don't even have change the default install location. just be careful you don't install the Yahoo toolbar. other then that everything should be pretty easy. and yes i agree with the others you are reallly plight. which is strange on froms

Seccy should record peak temperature it already records the average temperature of the cpu(s) so it would be an easy addition but keeping track of the peak temperature would allow a user to run speccy in the background and do a stress test on there computer to see just how hot it is getting. this would be very useful for anyone who does any overclocking, system builder worried whether they have allowed enough cooling for the system the just built or simply someone who is worried about how hot there computer is getting when there using it.

as often as possible there really isn't any reason not to use ccleaner once you have it set up the way you want. i use CCleaner at least once a day or after avg updates or if i no longer need my online game saves which ever comes first.

@ DennisD and Andavari you guys actually use window firewall yikes... I have a avg 9's firewall as well as a router (which has a built in firewall) i disabled my windows firewall since that thing doesn't stop anything.

Hi I have an dv6998 Hp laptop specs = http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/documen...product=3747904 - N1291 That I wanted to overclock. Before anyone tells me that it?s a ?bad idea it will get too hot? I know I have already read many forms saying so however I have very thoroughly tested out my laptop and I am confident that it could take a slight overclocking. I have tried some of the more commonly suggested programs and was looking for suggestions. So anybody know of any programs that might help me?

indeed. one of the most common tricks out there is the old "you have a virus download our anti-virus to remove our...i mean your virus now" thanks for the post

i am kind of surprised that avg 9 did so badly. i am running a paid version of avg and i haven't had any problems with it. although I did have adobe flash player mange to sneak through it once. but other then that avg has mostly been good to me i haven't had any major viruses that it hasn't found but it does take up more system resources then i would like. so I am since i am on sort of on the topic does one know of a good anti virus all i am i looking for is a good scanner and firewall i don't want any real time anything if i can help it (i just don't like things running in the background and slowing down my system) ???

@ jimmy5457 ya no kidding. i first found out that this file was being left behind when adobe flash player managed to sneak through my avg firewall and try to update its self i went through the settings tab on the window that popped up and was shocked to find that it remembered most of the websites i had visited so i did some looking into it and i added the whole macromedia folder to my winapps2.ini so i would have the ability to chose wither it was deleted or not. i also sent a suggestion to twisted metal of stuff to add to winapps2.ini including this file but i was ignored.

yes that would be very nice for people on laptops like me. but it tell you more then just how much battery life you have left like: battery age, number of times cycled (if available) , number and type of battery, temperature (if available) etc...

I agree with all of you. @ waw9667 in your network adapter section they should also add a few command prompt commands* like Ipconfig /release and Ipconfig /renew those commands should be fairly easy to add and are very useful i have already made myself batch files to do that for me. off topic: it would also be nice if instead of being able to just view system setting you would be able to change some of them (bus speeds,clock speed, memory speeds,optical drive letters...etc ) because viewer is nice but giving it the ability to change settings would make it a sisinternals level administrative tool ...but i think that at best that kind of functionality is a long way off and i kind of doubt it is even going to happen at all.

Hi thank you both alright so let's see if i understand this: the Portable - U3 build is designed for u3 compatible usb sticks which is a dying proprietary format (requiring to be supported by hardware) while the other Portable build is designed to work on standard usb stick and the only difference between it and the standard build is that it has no installer, forcing it to save all of the settings to an ini file. i would also imagine that it you also wouldn't be able to set up the context menu "delete with CCleaner" either. so would i be right in saying that all in all it is pretty much just a collection of all of post installed standard build CCleaner's files in a Zip file? anyways thanks again

what is there any other difference between the standard version and the slim version other then the slim version not having that annoying yahoo toolbar? i was thinking about downloading the slim version since i never use the yahoo toolbar but i wanted to make sure there weren't any less features or something since the installer file is considerably smaller. also what is the difference between the two portable versions? the standard version of CCleaner seems to be fairly portable...

@Disk4mat: Ah I see. they should fix that, CCleaner really should include any registry keys it finds and/or Cleans in the results from analyzing/cleaning your computer. i kind of consider it a bug that it doesn't. maybe they fix that in the next update? thanks for the tip about the detection line. @ DennisD thanks for the information. semi on off topic. does anyone know how to delete the open and save locations of Firefox? the key i just added to CCleaner seems to delete the recent open and save locations of most programs but unfortunately Firefox seems to store that information in a different place. does anyone know where so that i can add it to CCleaner. the fact that Firefox remembers the last place i saved stuff has been annoying me for a while.

what's ERUNT ? meh i just backed up the whole system partition to a hidden partition so i have everything if something goes wrong. doubtful i am an administrator running Xp i wouldn't touch vista with a 10 foot pole. but you are right that you have to be an administrator in vista to do just about anything. ok the code you sent me works the problem was that the registry key i wanted ccleaner to detect kept vanishing for some reason probably me accidentally deleting it while i was tinkering around with ccleaner. but the good news it that now the option shows up when that registry key is present and ccleaner does seem to clean it. even though it doesn't show up in the when click the analyze *which is probably why I deleted it unknowingly*. is there anyway i can get it too show up in the analysis list when you right click on it's tick box and click analyze? because right now the list is empty and it says there is 0 bytes to remove but if you clean the big clean button on the bottom of the screen it actually deletes it. on a side note i think i might just change the detection line to a more stable key that i know works so that the check box doesn't appear and disappear between cleaning. thank you for all of your help.

I just noticed that when i posted but that isn't the problem I copied the code you sent me, saved winapp2.ini and it still doesn't work for me. are you able to get it to work on your end? also is removing the whole ComDlg32 Key a Problem? i am not aware of it being needed for anything... yes i know that windows will recreate them automatically (i will look in to stopping windows from regenerating that tomorrow) thank you for reading my post

Hi i was making additions to winapp2.ini but the following code neither displays or finds any keys even when I change what ccleaner is supposed to detect to something I know works maybe i am really tired and made a mistake some where but the code looks fine to me can anyone figure out what i am doing wrong here? [**Open & Save Mru] LangSecRef=3025 Detect=RegKey1=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ComDlg32\OpenSaveMRU\ComDlg32\OpenSaveMRU Default=True RegKey1=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ComDlg32\OpenSaveMRU\ComDlg32\OpenSaveMRU

@ Nergal "twistedmetal says he's found little to update in it" that's kind of funny because I sent him in a few suggestions that I thought should be added but he never replied to me. as for it being mostly being a guide for new users i also sent him some information that wasn't posted anywhere on this site (i found some useful LangSecRef numbers that were not listed) but he didn't get back to me on that either. i also try to asking him if it was possible to detect the existence of a folder (instead of a file or registry key) (in case you have a program that doesn't place any keys in the registry but stores randomly named date stamped mru or lists in a know en folder. i had some progames that did that and it was quite annoying to have to delete the files they generated manually) OFF TOPIC CCleaner needs the ability the to clean multiple user-profiles (or at least have the option if it is being run by an/THE administrator) oh and yes i am a ghost who just sort of pops up when you least expect it.

i am pretty sure the sort answer to that question is no however you if you know the file name of the backup file you can add it in to winapp2.ini and have ccleaner delete the files for you. i was messing around with this a little earlier and i sort of got it to work. i was trying this with my cookie swap plug-in. if you wanted it to appear under the Firefox category you would enter something like this: [**CookieSwap] LangSecRef=3026 as far as i know LangSecRef=3026 is undocumented i found it and a few other when i was messing around with winapp2.ini below are some of the other ones i found. they my also be useful to you. 3026 = Firefox 3027 = Opera 3028 = Safari the only way to make it portable to another machine would be to use a relative path for example instead of writing FileKey1=C:\\Documents and Settings\Application Data\Acronis\TrueImage\LastURL.dat you would write FileKey1=%userprofile%\Application Data\Acronis\TrueImage\LastURL.dat i am new here but i think i am right on this one
