Just the usual hip and trendy indie types that always end up on those lists for the most part. And out of 100 I like two

Another long time RegMech user and I've also had no issues between the two.
Add one more to that list

Open CCleaner, go to Options>Advanced, and see if "Only clean temp files older than 48 hours" is ticked

Hmmm, seems I'm more sane than I thought, just 19.886363636363637% insane
Though there should have been two more questions:
Did you have to look up the word 'tesselate'?
Were you worried that the word wasn't in your online dictionary of choice?

Am i going insane?
Yes.

The links in the top section are dead (the bit that's currently alternating between "Chrome Privacy Protector" and "Try out Google search's new look"). Also it would be good if clicking on the pic next to the story took you to the story as well as the, relatively small, 'Continue reading' button

You could add the cache folder as a folder to clean in Options>Include

I generally make a C drive image once a month (or whenever I remember) using a free copy of Paragon HD Manager that was given away ages ago. Although I am bad in as much as I backup the image to a partition on the same drive so if the HD died I'd be screwed (Note to self, make long overdue investment in external HD

It would be nice to here one of the makers of ccleaners reason to why, they have not done this or the downside of them building it in
Well they have said why but I'm pretty sure they got fed up of answering the same thing all the time, year after year, when a search would probably find the answer. Which, in a word, is bandwidth.

Isn't a full screen mode a full screen mode regardless of player, what does VLC's do that others don't? (or am I being dense and missing the point)

When I click the link I get a page that says (translated with Google):
You can not use this action page directly. Please click on the appropriate link in the e-mail or on the website of our partner's action. -
The replacement light bulbs will be the end us lol
Is that site for real?:
If the only suitable jar available has food in it, you may need to empty it into another container before using it

Suggestion 3: Check boxes to enable/disable items in the inclusion/exclusion lists.
That's a good idea

But when I clicked 'check for updates' inside CCleaner > to website DL, got DL paypal - how come ? Is freeware.
You mean this page?

Those are just donation links, the download links are directly below.

I always use to uninstall the last version of a program.
Isn't this necessary with CCleaner
Want to avoid that it's size gets too big in 'Software' (reason: image will take more than 1 DVD if C:\ gets too big).
Anyway, if you say that I can update WITHIN CCleaner 2.24 - I will do so.
Don't think it's getting too big to 'disturb' C:\-size regarding image (=backup of whole O/S).
In this case I had to enable "automatically search for CCleaner updates" - right
Never tried that.
+ all settings would be taken over - hehe.
Please tell me if this would be the right way to update - NO uninstall of the older version
You can just download the installer and run it, it will keep all your settings and is the way most of us update.
just wonder why I should do this when you say that the install 'shouldn't' --> DOESN'T touch the *.reg files.Just to be on the safe side

Very interesting! I wonder how it compares to OpenDNS. Might just be another way for Google to collect user data.
Funnily enough I did some Googling and reading up on Google DNS yesterday when I saw it posted somewhere and it seemed the general consensus was ODNS was faster, though I guess it will be slightly dependant on the location of the DNS server. As Google don't state where any of their DNS server locations are there is no way of knowing which will be closer.
I won't be using it anyway, I know they state there is currently no data stored past 48 hours but this is Google and I don't doubt it will be on their roadmap for targeted ads etc in future so will be sticking with ODNS

Try OptimizeGoogle. It is carrying on from CustomizeGoogle.
I did, and most of that still didn't work when I tried it a while back. So have installed Greasemonkey instead and using scripts to achieve the same functions.
On a side note I wish we knew what happened to the original developer, he was a regular updater and poster on the CG Google group and suddenly without warning disappeared and never posted again. I do hope nothing happened to him

PPS: Btw, it is a much debated issue whether it is a good idea to clean the prefetch cache. (see http://www.populartechnology.net/2005/10/c...ation-load.html )
Nice link, pretty much sums up my opinion on prefetch cleaning (I would like to see it removed from CC but unfortunately suspect it never will be) and some interesting discussion in the comments section.

A couple of cracking extensions I've stumbled across recently:
CheckPlaces (link): Checks your bookmarks are valid and the pages still exist. Also checks for duplicates and for empty folders and can restore missing favicons.
(This was a great find for me after upgrading to FF3 and finding my trusty AM Deadlink didn't work with FF3)
Form History Control (link): If you ever had to clear your entire form history because you keyed in a password in the wrong form field, or you just want to easily correct misspelled entries, this is the extension for you. Form History Control will display all form data that has been saved by the web browser. Each entry can be edited in the interface which is very helpful to correct misspelled entries in the history saving the hassle of deleting and entering the data anew. Individual or multiple entries can be deleted right from within the interface.
And seeing as there's been several FF versions since I originally posted my extensions, here's my current list:
Adblock Plus Element Hiding Helper
Adblock Plus
CheckPlaces
CookieSafe Lite
CuteMenus CrystalSVG
DownThemAll
Duplicate Tab
FEBE
FlashBlock
Form History Control
Googlebar Lite
McAfee SiteAdvisor{26.6}
Menu Editor
Personas
QuickJava
Redirect Remover
Session Manager
TryAgain
OpenSelectedLinks

Not exactly, there are some flash cookies that are not deleted.
I found some eBay cookies that are not removed, from secure.ebaystatic.com staying there after ccleaner has been executed.
I'm using the "Flash cookie Cleaner" from Consumersoft to delete them, but i need to manually run the program.
It would be nice for ccleaner to completely wipe out the Local Shared Objects folders if the user wants. I do!!!
Thanks
well... I found the way... manually added the following folders in Options->> Include:
\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash player\#SharedObjects\
\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash player\macromedia.com\support\flashplayer\sys\
See this thread about the one flash file CCleaner excludes:

Well the Avast forums seem to be completely dead atm (according to downforeveryoneorjustme.com) so your links aren't working. Probably blown up under the strain

Sorry I thought he was talking about the registry optimizer. My bad.
No apology needed, you were right and your advice was good
Desperate recovery needed!

It's extremely unlikely CCleaner would have deleted your photos but aside from that, you could try Recuva to see if you can get back the pics if they were deleted (and asap before they are overwritten):
