On Windows Vista and 7, if User Account Control (UAC) is active you will not be allowed to drag and drop.
if you turn it off you will be able to drag and drop.

My understanding now is that, CCleaner FIIRST overwrites the file with random data,and THEN it deletes it like a normal deletion.
Correct. CCleaner uses DeleteFile API in both cases. With SD, it first overwrites and then deletes it.
Let us know about your research...
Thanks

CCleaner uses the DeleteFile API to delete files, but I don't know if W7 has enhanced this API to accommodate TRIM.
As far as Secure Deletion, it is always good to overwrite the files before deleting them as it seems that SSDs drives has the caching and erasing process moved out of the time-sensitive write cycle and into the time between the actual deletion and the next write. So, from what I understood files might be around for a period of time...I think...
Have you experienced any slowdowns after using CCleaner? I believe you have already run out of "fresh blocks to write" in your new drives so if you continue to use CCleaner pretty soon you will notice a slowdown if CCleaner is not causing TRIM command to be pass down to SSD. Let us know...
I hope this helps.

How do you add the custom location for applications?
I can't find out how to do it
As far as I know, CustomLocation is only supporting Firefox at the moment.
Let's say you have a Firefox profile under:
C:\Mozilla\FirefoxPortable_3.0.17\Data\profile
Open regedit.exe and navigate to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Piriform\CCleaner
Right click on "CCleaner" node and select "New->string value":
Name: CustomLocation1
Data: FIREFOX|C:\Mozilla\FirefoxPortable_3.0.17\Data\profile
If you use CCleaner.ini, add an entry under Options section:
[Options]
CustomLocation1=FIREFOX|C:\Mozilla\FirefoxPortable_3.0.17\Data\profile
I hope this helps!

In 64bit you should use
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
I had to manually create
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run
but nothing that I manually add there runs when I log in.
Can you please post the name of the application that is using the Wow6432Node?
Thanks

As MrT wrote:
"The registry key you mentioned is being properly scanned by CCleaner."
Check the attached image:

It might be some sort of file locking...

How about the following folders?
AppData\Local\Opera\profile\images
AppData\Local\Opera\Opera\icons
AppData\Local\Opera\Opera\thumbnails
AppData\Local\Opera\Opera\opcache

CCleaner has been designed to run side-by-side. You can have as many versions in the installation folder as you want.
Before installing a new version, I rename my current CCleaner.exe to CCleaner_v2_xxx.exe (xxx is the version) then I run the new installer which will create CCleaner.exe
It is perfectly ok to run 2, 3 or as many versions of CC at the same time. You can even compare results from previous versions to new ones.
Uninstalling CCleaner will remove your settings (it deletes ccleaner.ini and/or registry key).
I hope this helps.

CCleaner is able to collect cookies for Firefox.
What is the version of Firefox you are using?
Was it installed in the standard folder? If not, where did you install it?
I hope this helps.

"?Improved support for wildcards and RECURSE/REMOVESELF"
This is now working as supposed so if you have something like this:
FileKey1=%userprofile%|*.rmbak|RECURSE
it will recursively scan all sub folders under "%userprofile%"
Be careful with the RECURSE and REMOVESELF.
If I were you I would make sure that RECURSE is only used with a folder that doesn't have lots of sub folders.
This is a sample of a bad usage of RECURSE: (it does bring my scanning to a crawl)

Hi,
I installed RocketDock and can not reproduce this issue. Everything works as expected.
There is no way CCleaner could cause this problem. You must have something else going on.
I have attached a snapshot of my XP machine with RocketDock installed and latest CCleaner.
You might need to provide more info so the devs could help you.

I have FF3.5 and FF3.5.1 installed and have no problems at all saving/deleting cookies with CC.
You probably know that all instances of FF must be closed for CC to be able to read/delete its cookies.
CC builds the "Cookies to Delete" list on-the-fly everytime you enter the Cookies screen. Therefore there is no file or registry key used for the "Cookies to Delete" listbox. The "Cookies to Keep" list is saved in the registry/INI and it is named CookiesToSave.
Installing or uninstalling CC is totally irrelevant.
I hope this helps.

This is not a bug and it works as Microsoft says:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/142298
Notes from kb:
- Not all of the registry keys listed above may exist. After you delete the values, restart your computer. Make sure not to delete the "(Default)" value.
- You do not have to restart the computer for the Find Files or Find Computer MRU lists to be cleared.
- If you click the Start button, click Shut Down, and then click No, the MRU list for the Run command is cleared.
By the way, after removing the "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RunMRU" entry either by using CCleaner or editing the registry, I haven't found anything that would cause the list to clear up on my Win98 and WinXP without restarting or logging off or do as the last note suggested.
Thanks

Hi there,
This is a problem with Farsi language. I believe this will be fixed in the next version of CCleaner, but until then if you want to get rid of it you must delete the key from registry.
I am not sure if you know how to use regedit.exe, but here goes the instructions:
1 - Open regedit.exe
2 - navigate to "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}\Shell"
3 - Expand "shell" node
4 - right-click the key and select "delete" from the menu.
See attached image.
I hope it helps!

Well, you guys have complained so much that they decided to remove the behavior...
There is a new version v2.19.901 that puts "Saved Form Information" for Firefox back to how it was.
http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showto...mp;&do=findComment&comment=135774
Even though i don't think this is the correct solution as passwords saved on FF profile folder is a major flaw as anyone can read it using the "key3.db" right there in the same folder!!!
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Signons.txt
But now you have it back! I hope you enjoy having everyone reading your passwords!
thanks

Hi there,
I think CCleaner HAD a bug as it was NOT deleting saved passwords when "Saved Form Information" is cheked.
I am glad that it is now fixed as it was a major flaw leaving passwords on the harddrive.
Anyone can easily see your passowrds using this "Password Fox":
http://kunalsachdeva.wordpress.com/2009/02...-gtalk-and-msn/
If you want to save passwords all in one place you should use a proper software like "KeePass":
http://www.filehippo.com/search?q=keepass
Firefox->"Saved Form Information" is now working as IE->Autocomplete Form History and Google Chrome->Save Form Information. Passwords are saved form information!
You can always uncheck the option anyway...
Thanks

Full Empty PROGRAM LIST !?!
in CCleaner
Posted
Please, verify if you have empty winsys1.ini and winapp1.ini in the same folder as ccleaner.exe. These files overwrite the embedded ones and if they are empty or the apps in it are not detected you could end up with an empty list.
