Personally i cant really see nay benifit. It takes less then 0.01 of a sec to navigate. I mean how oftem do users actually change there settings? Mine have not changed since i started using ccleaner.
From my point of view of another coder would i really want to hassle myself with the extra code of remembering last focus selection for the sake of less then a second?
It's nothing to do with saving time but adding ease of use/convenience (or logic?).
For the settings section I kinda agree but added it for completeness sake (though it did make me notice the pointlessness of having settings open on 'About' page rather than any actual settings).
As for the rest, I quite often want to untick or tick something under the Application tab (never Windows tab) so would add convenience for it to remember tab focus. And I explained the reasoning behind wanting it for tools section, I would guess most users would use the system restore section more than 'Uninstall' or 'Startup' (I can't actually see any logic behind how they are currently ordered but thats a seperate issue).
I'm not saying this is some big issue, just a refinement that could be easily added

Is it deliberately stupid or is there a way to make it use Program Files like any other normal program?
Have been trying to decide between Chromium and Iron as a secondary browser, had been swayed towards Chromium after trying it (mainly cos it supports themes unlike Iron and don't like the Chrome look) then saw the stupid install directory. Iron installs to program files

I finally ended up choosing yours as it is suits me much more, thanks.
Lol, glad I suggested it then

IMHO the two programs are for different type of users.
Agreed, wasn't saying one was better than the other, just offering a (relatively unknown) alternative that was relevant to the topic

Welcome to the forum but trust me ... you don't want to open this can of worms.
You should read the many previous threads on the Prefetch issue.
Indeed and as for the temp folder, CC already cleans them.

I use DShutdown, offers options for just about anything shutdown related:

I found a couple of other sites (just Google "download taskkill.exe") that offer free copies of taskkill.exe but I'm not familiar with them and don't know if they're legitimate. Is computerperformance a safe site?
As far as I'm aware it is and as I said I scanned the download with everything I had and uploaded to VirusTotal and was completely clean.
-
That's disappointing Glen that it doesn't support the /f switch when xp pro does.
Ah well, back to the drawing board.
What about if you use pskill from MS/Sysinternals which I found does the job on my XP Home in my batch files where tskill wouldn't work:

Or even easier there's a link to download taskkill here:
http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/ezine...ls.htm#TaskKill
(Have scanned it and comes up clean and seems to work as it should)

Thanks Hazel, very useful

Did you read further down about the two pupils who fell asleep on a railway line?!?! I know its sad when anyone dies but surely a nominee for a Darwin award right there

Screenshot also not working in FF2
EDIT: Or Chrome it seems.

I think it would be very useful and time/click saving if CCleaner could remember the last clicked tab and section buttons after closing:
ie when you close and reopen CCleaner:
The last clicked cleaner tab (Windows/Applications) in previous session will still be the selected tab, most of the time it's the Applications tab I ever tick or untick anything in but always opens on Windows tab.
The last selected Tools section (Uninstall/Startup/System Restore) from last use will still be shown when clicking Tools - This would be the most useful, and best example of my reasoning for wanting this. I never use the uninstall section but that is automatically what comes up when clicking tools, whereas regularly use the System Restore section so would be helpful to click tools and have the restore section already selected.
Also the same with the Options section, do we really need the 'About' page every time we go to settings?
Surely a simple to add refinement???
-
Lol awesome 404 page. Does it keep talking and talking in the box?
Yeah, he/it chats away for a few minutes (am ashamed to say i watched and read it all lol

I wish it were possible. I suspect the reason is so that users dont accidentaly delete registry keys that are important or unintended. I have a few scenarios where I could use a wild card.
I thought it probably wasn't possible but had never (till now) had the need for it. Don't see why it couldn't be added if possible, after all it's generally only more advanced users that start making their own winapp2 entries, especially more complicated ones, and the safety aspect is just as applicable to any winapp reg entry IMO.
Well here's hoping
-
Is it possible to use wildcards in winapp2.ini for reg key paths?
eg, this works:
HKCU\Software\Stardock\Fences\Icons|C:\Documents and Settings\JDP\Desktop|01.mpg
But this doesn't:
HKCU\Software\Stardock\Fences\Icons|C:\Documents and Settings\JDP\Desktop|*.mpg
If not is it even possible that this ability can be added to CCleaner or is this an issue that simply can't be addressed for some reason?
-
Please, can someone help?
Yup, follow the instructions here: http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=20120

And not beta lol

Stumbled across this on The Register and some of it verges on the unbelievable, though amusing:
-
FWIW this update was pulled (hence why its not listed on the Sun site) though it is still being hosted on download sites other than Sun/Java. It's due to be reissued within next day or so, not been able to Google any info behind it being pulled other than this from dslreports.com:
please note that this update was withdrawn and will have to be installed again on the 4th of August. sun micro systems regrets any inconvenience caused
Linkthe reason on why it has been withdrawn has not be made clear so it is in your own interest to uninstall it and then reinstall when it has been re-released -
(Deleted, talking rubbish lol)

Also don't forget the instructions on the hosts file page regarding disabling 'DNS client' service:
Editors Note: in most cases a large HOSTS file (over 135 kb) tends to slow down the machine.This only occurs in W2000/XP/Vista. Windows 98 and ME are not affected.
To resolve this issue (manually) open the "Services Editor"
* Start | Run (type) "services.msc" (no quotes)
* Scroll down to "DNS Client", Right-click and select: Properties
* Click the drop-down arrow for "Startup type"
* Select: Manual, or Disabled (recommended) click Apply/Ok and restart. [more info]
When set to Manual (or Disabled) you can see that the above "Service" is not needed (after a little browsing - when set to Manual) by opening the Services Editor again, scroll down to DNS Client and check the "Status" column. It should be blank, if it was needed it would show "Started" in that column. There are several Utilities that can reset the DNS Client for you ... [more info]
Editors Note: The above instructions are intended for a single (home-user) PC. If your machine is part of a "Domain", check with your IT Dept. before applying this work-around. This especially applies to Laptop users who travel or bring their work machines home. Make sure to reset the Service (if needed) prior to connecting (reboot required) to your work Domain ...

I like the concept but think it would be better if the interface was like a directory tree (+ to expand / - to collapse) instead of double-clicking to expand and using 'View summary results' to collapse.
Same here - like the idea, dislike the implementation that by default hides the details till clicking through.
-
I found that the detailed list is available in a context menu.
The context menu is hidden by its nature, and there is no way to draw one's attention to it.
A tooltip on each result line would help. A note on the page would also help.
If the line would become a link, cursor and line behaviour would indicate it, the link could show the context menu too.
Agreed and FWIW I have suggested an alternative solution in the announcement thread.
What are your favorite websites?
