Hello, I am new here and not a technical advanced computer user
Shortly I decided it was a good idea to clean up my computer and, based on praising reviews, I selected CCleaner for the job. For the first run I unchecked the Cookie tab to preserve my login information. However, after this first cleaning run I discovered that besides of my Google preferences also al my login info was gone. Searching for answers and a solution I found this forum and a lot of postings related to this Cookie problem, but not a clear answer on how to avoid it. Please excuse me if I have overlooked something.
Based on what I red I decided to do a simple test and maybe some of you like to know the results.
1st Test. Unchecked Cookies and Index Tab (all others on default)
Found no *.sol files and therefore kept the Adobe Flash Player checked. Kept also the < IE ? Preserve Favorite Websites Data > checked
Ran CCleaner and Rebooted.
Result: Google preferences and the reference test site login info Preserved.
2nd Test Unchecked Cookies but Index Tab now checked (all others as above)
Result: Google preferences and login info gone.
Questions.
1 - Is this all you have to do, Uncheck the Cookies AND Index tab?
2 - Will this also work if using the Cookies to Keep under the Options Section?
