  1. Good thinking I was thinking of someting maybe like the apple updater where it also shows other piniform products that are not installed with a brief summery.
  2. Your brave...vista is usually a minefield of problems haha good luck!
  3. Try using command line to delete it. I had a problem when i restored some backups today..they were encrypted files but i didnt have then encrytion key and it was a pain in the bum to delete the entire lot..had to use command line. (500 files) Found a quicker way..drag them into a folder...then delete them. If Vista or above..make sure your an administrator, right click, properties..security and mess around with the permissions. Hope this helps!
  4. This would be good..a fourth applicaiton to update the whole lot at the same time. This involves making another application but this would be very handy instead of having to manually update three programs at a time.
  5. Well as descussed above, leave out the system folders and maybe keep it simple...ie start menu folders. Also as this is only doing the start menu (if its not expanded to do the whole computer), then it wont have to search GB/TBs of data. I know for a fact that my start menu is filled with empty folders as lots of installers tend to just not delete the folders they have made. If applications need a folder for writing, they generally just make another folder and get on with it. Heres your chance to try and get this idea that you previously wanted taken action..shows at least two people wanted it.
  6. I have recently restored my computer back to factory settings and I've been uninstalling all the crap that came with it..Nabster..etc and I've been left with a lot of empty folders that are just a pain in the backside to delete. Just to clear out the file and folder structure maybe a feature in CCleaner could be developed to remove these empty directories (bearing in mind trying not to delete hidden files contained within the folder). It may be best if you were able to select in a sub menu where you would like to clean it..ie user files..start menu...program files...system files (getting a bit risky there).
