Just listening to Radio 5 and they're doing a tech phone in - bloke phones in with a corrupt MMC card and wants his pics off it, and is told to use a good little program called Recuva ("from the same people who made CCleaner" ). So if there's a sudden rush of downloads, that'll be why lol (though he did point the bloke to FileHippo to get it, not Piriform )

Obviously can only answer for mine but here it doesn't, they are directly in the drivers folder (seems a strange approach if it's used by several software companies, one would HOPE they'd behave as you suggest if the folder wasn't empty on install)

It exists on my laptop BUT contains USB controller files, nothing to do with Realtek.

As the title really, updated to IE10 last week and download history is not being cleaned by CCleaner - Win7, CCleaner 4.400.4064

I suspect, at the very least, your graphics drivers will no longer be able to update or uninstall.

I'll also add my other suggestion here to be able to filter results, or only search, by file type/extension. At the moment it gives me a lengthy list, mostly files which are filetypes that shouldn't be messed with and I have no interest in. Now as a disorganised type being able to ONLY find image files or ONLY video files etc would be far more useful, rather than having to hunt through a list of obscure system/program related files

Seems to work ok and bug free. Only minor issue I found was the duplicate file finder being called just "File finder", which to me is a search function (and I thought that's what it was till I realised there was no search box). Change the button to "Duplicate file finder" or if that's too long, just "Duplicate finder" rather than file finder. Also the dupe file finder really needs the option to filter results by file type/extension, without that it's of little use (to me) But far fewer minor niggles that I was worrying I'd find in a new version

I would argue though it's not a cleaner, it's a fix for a very specific problem. If someone sees an entry for, say, Audacity, they are gonna think "I have that" and use the entry. If someone sees an entry for a Windows 7/8 cache and they have Win7 or 8 they're gonna use it, especially thinking it's just a cache. If it's to stay in winapp2 it needs a more explanatory name or warning IMO

That should be stated in the warning. Having an entry in winapp2 that breaks peoples wallpapers, on the basis that it sometimes fixes people's wallpapers is strange reasoning for inclusion to me.

The purpose of this thread is for USERS to submit their own entries. Winapp2 is kept busy enough as it is, he can't be expected to install every program any user suggest just to create an entry for them. If you want to learn how to create the entries yourself (we are always happy to check they make sense) have a look at the docs: How to add your own program for CCleaner to clean

I read it that that folder only contained links, but that it would count that link as the actual file, as well as the file it links to. So the winsxs folder is actually just the size of the few bytes a folder of links takes up. I'll happily admit I may have misunderstood it though But I agree, deleting that folder's contents is a bad idea. And given that it's in a list that also suggests the massively discussed (and dismissed) prefetch folder, folders that are already cleaned and wildcard *.tmp entries (that would massivley slow CCleaner) I think we can take most of those entry suggestions with a pinch of salt.

Except the folder does NOT contain anywhere near that size: The Windows shell will count each reference to a hard link as a single instance of the file for each directory in which the file resides. For example, if a file that is named advapi32.dll is 700 KB and is contained in the component store and in the \Windows\system32 directory, Windows Explorer would inaccurately report that the file consumes 1,400 KB of hard disk space. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2795190

The first ever console launch that didn't show the console? As for the announcement itself, can't say I was all that impressed. Graphically the games shown didn't seem that much of a step up, especially with regards to how noticeably big a step there was between previous Playstations. That tech demo of the old mans face gave a major sense of deja vu. They've shown exactlly the same thing, and same claims, with previous consoles and it's never actually made it into games in the way it was demo'd. And of the games shown only one caught my attention - . The gameplay looked quite intriguing to me. Aside from that, nothing particularly excited me sadly.

In what way?

Safer but a PITA on Win7 as there's loads of different logs and they can only be cleared one at a time. Unless of course you use a nifty little batch file: Win7 Clear Event Viewer.zip

That folder contains the event viewer logs, which I'm pretty sure has been stated won't be added to winapp2.

Is the 'bath' where programdata is the same as programdata?

It's a shame they felt the need to go public and blacken Piriform's name BEFORE getting that clarification

The detect key for this entry doesn't exist here on Win7: [TomTom*] LangSecRef=3021 Detect=HKCU\Software\TomTom Default=False FileKey1=%LocalAppData%\TomTom\HOME3\cache|*.*|RECURSE FileKey2=%LocalAppData%\TomTom\HOME3|Log.txt FileKey3=%AppData%\TomTom\HOME\Profiles\*|Log.txt The only usable reg detect key I have is HKLM\SOFTWARE\Classes\tomtomhome

It's hardly the site's fault that some people are dumb.

He accidentally included them in filekey 7

Thanks Hazel, same version as given away last time but a worthy download for anyone who doesn't already have it

I found the same, it was very quick but far too often simply didn't find items that were present so ended up having to use Windows search anyway. So got rid.

Found a couple of duplicate entries: In Firefox/Mozilla section there is an entry called 'Install log' and one called 'Firefox logs'. Both clean the same item There's also two Process Lasso entries, one in Applications named 'Process Lasso' one in Utilities named 'ProcessLasso Logs' (the latter cleans more)

Wow, way to confuse a new member - tell him not to post here but continue his dedicated thread instead, go to that thread and get told not to continue that original thread but continue getting help here, come back here then get told not to discuss it here or in the original thread but in a completely different thread he never even started
