I tried that, and it didn't seem to affect this at all. I think because these MRU's are related to the "My Pictures" folder and not the "Save As" feature of Windows.

This is the MRU I'm trying to clear. The first drop down on the list (1. Type a name for this group of pictures) can be cleared by deleting this entire registry MRU folder: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\WIA\WiaAcquisitionManager It is re-created again upon re-start, but now the lists are cleared. However, I can't figure out how to clear the (3. Choose a place to save this group of pictures) drop down list. Also it's really easy to get to this page, just go to "My Computer" double-click on your printer, select "Scanner and Camera Wizard" and just hit "Next" until you get to the page from the screenshot.

Windows XP Service Pack 3 If you open the Scanner and Camera Wizard, and follow the steps to the "Picture Name and Destination" page, you will see 3 items, each with a pulldown list. I am trying to figure out how to "Clear" the 1st and 3rd lists, as there are tons of "Recently Used" names of files and folders in those lists, and I don't use most of them anymore. For more clarification here are posts by other people who have the exact same, unresolved issue: http://www.computing.net/answers/windows-xp/scanner-and-camera-wizard/132851.html http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=9391 http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=94884 We can clear the #1 Picture Names list by deleting the WIA MRU's, however the #3 My Pictures Locations is unresolved. *Crap Cleaner, Disk Cleanup, and MRU-Blaster all fail to clear this list. Perhaps this could be included in future Crap Cleaner updates, since it fits right into what Crap Cleaner does? Thanks for you help everyone!

"thus if Bob-Admin checks that off so he'll be able to clean tim's account too, then when sue cleans it'll clean bob's account when he may not want it to. (course that is better than completly deleting tim's user folder as happened to a previous poster)" CCleaner and other said tools, aren't downloaded by people like bob, sue, and little timmy. They are almost always downloaded by power users, and/or people who need something extra to take care of a particular problem they are having. Second, the odds of having 3-4 users on 1 PC in 2010 are ridiculously low. Even if there were 10+ users on 1 PC, I would bet its something like this: Dad, Mom, and 8 kids. Well I doubt that those kids will be downloading and using CCleaner, especially since they will have limited accounts and they wouldn't know how to find it or use it. And none of this is relevant anyway, because in the end, YOU decide what tool or program to use, and what options to tick. If the masses want these options added to future versions, than that is what they want. That is how companies like Piriform grow, by listening to what the majority of people would like to see. I understand with your reservations but that is why the default can remain unchecked. And then as an extra security measure there can be another popup box, just as there is with the other options within CCleaner saying "This will remove all your saved passwords and login names, are you sure?" etc, etc. Why did something like Wipe Free Space get added? Personally I think its stupid all it does it prevent the average boob from recovering your porn, and a lot of people agree with me, however the masses wanted it, regardless of its effectiveness, and so Piriform delivered.

If you don't believe me, u can easily test it yourself, download NKProds nCleaner. Used to be a contender for ccleaner, but ccleaner is updated very frequently whereas nCleaner has almost been abandoned. Anyway, point being, use it to remove ur backups and such, and your pc experience will be dramatically faster. However, the program is not as useful today because it hasn't been updated in so long that its not up to date with all the new browsers, etc.

Okay, so i'm a little confused about Alan's reply. So if I delete everything but the actual Ccleaner application, and then I run it, your saying that it might add itself to the registry? or that it won't properly clean the registry correctly? Just for the heck of it, I tried such thing, I deleted everything and launched the cleaner, ran a full clean, all options checked, and full reg scan. And from the surface it didn't seem to clean, or act any differently than normal. However, I don't want to be destroying something beneath the surface. Could someone clarify a bit more please? Also, the two .dat files are of different file sizes. If they both contain the same data, why would they be different? Thanks for the replies!

even if they were added into the program they don't have to be enabled by default, as it is, there's like almost 10 items I believe that start out unchecked within the cleaner.

Aethec, i'm sure you didn't mean to come off this way, but please be respectful of other members posts. I understand that to you other people's "beliefs" aren't useful to YOU, but everyone uses their PC differently then the next person. Some are IT testers, some Game, some watch movies and surf the internet, some do all the above, some beta test and need applications to ease their troubles, etc. So "useless files" are actually, "Useless" for some people. Tweaking, i'm not even going to bite. Please read the rules for posting and replying on the forum. Just because you don't use it, doesn't mean someone else can't or needs to in certain situations. Thing's like "backups ARE useful".... again, to you, but for some of us, absolutely not, not in a million years. Thanks for the replies everyone.

1.18.185 Version Having issues between the Installable Defraggler and the Portable. The installable defraggler usually doesn't display these "bugs" if you will, but the portable one does. 1) "$MFT" "$Secure:$SDH" "$Secure:$SII" "$LogFile" always show up as fragmented although it says 0% fragmentation. 2) "Pagefile.sys" says its fragmented at 2 gigs, however, I pagefile.sys does not even exist as I have it disabled, and removed from my system. Defraggler reports these files as being in folder "C:\" and when attempting to open the "Containing Folder" it shows up blank.

I know some of these have been suggested before, but I just wanted to show that there are others out there wanting the same thing: I've used Crap Cleaner since just before version 2.0 and it has served me well. 1) Clean all users and subusers during clean. Including administrator account and guest. 2) ADD "Tweak" section. With options tailored toward performance and gaming. Force Kernal into Ram, Unload DLL's, etc. 3) Scan for empty files and folders. Sometimes after an uninstall there are completely empty folders just sitting there. And registry errors that go along with them. 4) Option to delete backup drivers and files. Saves a ton of disc space and decreases boot time. Goes hand in hand with deleting the hotfix uninstalls. 5) ability to delete .tmp files 6) thumbs.db Quick question too: What is the point in installing Crap Cleaner and using the Portable version. Do you gain better or more stable cleaning with the installed version? Why does one need to be installed, does it work better?

Hello, I am trying to put together a cd that contains several quick-use no install applications. I have chosen to use Crap Cleaner Portable, and Defraggler Portable. They work great, but what I would like to do, is have them both in the same root directory. When I select each of their folder's contents and then paste them into an area there are only 3 files that have an issue. "Lang" "License" and "Portable.Dat" 1) "Lang" one of the programs has more than the other, but they both share similar names. Would it be safe to combine them all? 2) "License" Do either of the programs actually reference this license text in anyway? Via the "Help" or "About" or other options within the program. If not then I could delete these since it is for my personal use, and I do agree with the license? 3) "Portable.Dat" I tried using Crap Cleaner's .dat for Defraggler, and the program still worked? What is this file for, and is there a way around having both files in the same directory with the same name? Thank you for your help!
