Thanks, Nergal.

[CCleaner 3.16.1666 Not Clearing WinZip 16.0 Recent History]

CCleaner clears WinZip 8 just fine, but when I recently upgraded to WinZip 16, it fails to clear the following registry key:

 

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Nico Mak Computing\WinZip\mru\archives

 

Currently, I am navigating regedit to the key and deleting the entries manually.

 

I am running Win Vista SP2.

[RAM, pagefile.sys, hiberfile.sys Management]

Both Sysinternals PageDefrag and clearing the Windows pagefile at shutdown may be useful, but they are not what I am asking Piriform for.

 

I sent Piriform an e-mail and was directed here to make my request known. My request to the programming team is to add a feature to CCleaner. The feature is to securely erase the Windows pagefile. Make it an advanced, optional feature. I understand it would require a reboot. No problem.

 

I am new to making such requests. I hope I am doing so properly. I believe this feature would make an already great product even better.

 

Thanks again.

I, too, would like CCleaner to (optionally) securely erase XP's pagefile. I am currently using CyberScrub to perform this task, so I know it can be done. It requires a reboot after which the old pagefile is erased.

 

"Windows natively gives you the option to erase pagefile.sys upon shutdown." My understanding, however, is that this function is a delete, not an erase.

 

CCleaner is one of my favorite utilities. I use it multiple times daily. When I leave my computer for the day, I would like it to completely erase all of my tracks, including those left in the pagefile.

 

Although I have already paid for CCleaner, I would happily pay for it again for this feature!

 

Thanks.
