  1. I am looking for a software wich give us an alarm when a new folder or a new file is created somewhere and at any moment. So it seemed that it is too difficult to manage a permanent low noise scan. Even Kaspersky seems unable to do that ! All scan is always a major use of the performance of the system as if it was a question of rapidity.

  2. OK

     

    I see in the history of my system that I have no trace of new installed applications at these dates

     

    Creation date is 2008 at the day where I first connected to the internet. (and I installed my old USB ADSL Modem)

    20140630 a index.dat in it has this creation date, it was last modified 20160118 and IndexDatSpy find it empty now

    Then 20150628 I made the last clone back up of the partition (if I restore it, this folder should be empty)

    20150920 is the first date when a subfolder appears in it (supposing none are destroyed)

    The subfolders seem to be created every 2 days in average on the beginning, 4 ones at each date hour minute precises, sometimes 4 times a day and never let more than 6 days without creation.

    I connect to the internet every day and start windows every morning too

    All that, ended on 20151228 without apparent cause.

    All folders are empty  (total number = 344, 86x4)

  3. Does somebody know what use is it ?

    This folder is C:\Documents and Settings\Propriétaire\UserData

    It contains folders with code names as HP514Y0H or W4AO79DV

    What is it for ?

    According the dates no new folder since 20151228 and i am surprised of that because other dates are more regular

     

  4. Yes, so I wanted to point out that it is dangerous to make believe the people that we can easily clean all traces, as the reality is all different !

    First we had the problem of the PrivacIE index.dat I had posted %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\PrivacIE\index.dat smile.gif

    and recently I discovered 3 problems :

     

    > this cryptURLcache

    > 2 other doubtful items with Firefox : \%profilefolder\storage\default\ and \%profilefolder\storage\temporary\ content twitter items among others

    > one I had just discover because it stops last version Adlice Roguekiller's filescan : C:\Documents and Settings\%user%\Application Data\Microsoft\Office\Recents

     

    WTF ? :mellow:

  5.  

    There are 84 entries of it cleaned via winapp2.ini for games and Windows.

     

    For XP specifically I made this for winapp2.ini for my own XP system:

    [CryptnetUrlCache]
    LangSecRef=3025
    Detect=HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows
    Default=False
    FileKey1=%AppData%\Microsoft\CryptnetUrlCache|*.*|RECURSE
    FileKey2=%windir%\System32\config\SystemProfile\Application Data\Microsoft\CryptnetUrlCache|*.*|RECURSE
    

     

    Thanks but I discovered at this occasion, that I got no winapp.ini nor winapp2.ini : ??? I transfer custom settings by a ccleaner.ini file.

  6. Under XP (and further versions ?) it seems to be a sort of browser history for the System, it seems to be harmless to clear it. Why not doing this ?

     

    I do not understand though what it is used for. Internet browsing activity is not each time associated with changes of the files in it. But most of the time a session ends with a new file.

  7. In the cleaning of Windows Explorer under XP SP3, I wonder if something could not be cleaned by CCleaner : the Favorites

    These are bookmarks whose existence can be easily forgotten because Windows Explorer is not an internet navigator then I had a collection of very old bookmarks ther, I deleted them one by one doing a registry and file log and I discovered two things :

    1st : these were files in this location C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\Favorites\ whiche were deleted

    2nd : BUT it seems that windows at that moment found necessary to write all this names as data in the registry key HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-

    xxx-1003\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\UserAssist\{5E6AB780-7743-11CF-A12B-00AA004AE837}\Count

     

    I will see what to do with that

     

    Could you confirm that this kind of personal data were not taken in CCleaner for the moment ?

     

     

  8. Yes, OK , I had a doubt because It was impossible for me to defrag a 120 Go NTFS 8k cluster size formated partition. It was first fragmented to 53 % with 24% free space = no way, but with 32% fragmentation and 57 % free space it was not better but though it was conscensciously working as if it wanted to perform the task for hours .... 

    I had finally to empty that partition

    I profit the occasion to format a 4 Go partition and make transfer tests on it with different cluster sizes and between 512 o and 64ko I did not see any difference what ever the size of the files tested from 4 ko to 512 ko or bit to bit

    then I reformated it to 8 k

  9. Well I think that my solution could work as well as OoDefrag solution, though it is perhaps longer with a risk of deleting something if not beeing organised enough

    About this subject I wonder though if it is possible to clone a system partition by copying the files of the first system to another partition and after that, it could boot by restoring a bootable sector with something like Partition Wizard.

  10. After a scan some files are listed in green as "state excellent"

    Then I select them and use the right click to "secure overwrite" them (7 or even 35 passes), it performs the task with confirmation

    After that, I do another scan and some of these files appear as they were before the delete

    I see no differences between them et those for which the delete fonction has performed perfectly

     

    I never noticed that with the precedent versions

  11. It is potentially a very important bug I have just discovered

     

    because the cleaning of index.dat files is not effective though it is proposed as if

     

    this specific IE8 index.dat C:\Documents and Settings\(owner)\PrivacIE\index.dat is the problem

     

    reading it with IndexDatSpy will give you many urls you surfed with
