  1. That's the way I did it. No problem.
  2. It's working normally on my Win7 x64 laptop - both the previous 2.x and the current 3.0 (64-bit) versions.
  3. Great, thanks! I was hoping it would operate just as you described.
  4. Just a follow-on question: After changing the advanced option to save the settings in an ini file and the ini file has been created, can you uncheck that option and go back to CCleaner using the registry for "normal" operation without causing a problem?
  5. OldDon - welcome to the forum Login IDs/passwords, like to banking websites, are usually stored in cookies that are written to your hard drive. CCleaner will delete all cookies UNLESS you tell it not to - a whitelist, if you will. Start CCleaner, go to Options-->Cookies. In the left pane all cookies found on your system will be listed. Click once to select the cookie you want to keep and then click on the right-pointing arrow button -> to move it to the right pane, "Cookies to Keep." You will have to do this for each website you log into.
  6. It's refreshing to read a post in a support forum that actually praises the product. Rare. Thanks for taking the time to post! Well deserved, I might add. Keep up the good work, Piriform.
  7. I have used the mvps HOSTS file for quite a while, so I decided to ask them about these cookies. Here is their reply: "EverCookies" are a type of Cookie not an entry ... yes the majority of 3rd party Cookies are blocked in the HOSTS file ... however you still need to reset your Cookie settings. You can address this problem by following these instructions: Blocking Unwanted Cookies with Internet Explorer http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/cookies.htm Mike Burgess Microsoft MVP - Consumer Security "There's no place like 127.0.0.1" Its interesting that his Blocking Unwanted Cookies link includes a plug for CCleaner.
  8. Yeah, I'll surf right on over to that website and download it...
  9. System slowdowns are rarely caused by just one thing, like the registry, in my experience. That's why, after 6 years, I just scratch loaded an old laptop with WinXP. Boy, what a performance improvement! All the programs I had installed over the years had slowly drug it down to a crawl. The HDD was constantly being accessed. Not any more!
  10. Me too! The only ones I have are an antiphishing toolbar and the Adobe Acrobat toolbar cause I do sometimes use it. They slow down the browser and take vertical space away from the browser window.
  11. Sounds like you must mean this screen - it asks if you want to "donate" to "help support the software." That's not the same thing as "buy" the software.
  12. Just wondering... Did you PM the information to MrT that he requested?
  13. I'm not sure if this is related to your problem or not, but I thought I would pass it along anyway. Your mentioning "Kaspersky" and "Toshiba laptop" made me remember something I had read a few months ago. I use ZoneAlarm which uses the Kaspersky a/v-a/s engine. The ZA user forum addressed a problem with ZA on Toshiba laptops some time ago, running "Atheros Wi-Fi Protected Setup Library." You might want to see if it applies in your case. http://forums.zonealarm.com/showthread.php?t=70920
  14. Considering the risk involved with any registry cleaner, I personally would never use something like a scheduled registry cleaner. I want to watch what is about to be cleaned and make individual decisions before clicking "Fix." Letting one run unattended is dangerous, IMO.
  15. But, as I understand it, IE9 will not be compatible with WinXP - read here.
  16. I had this problem a few months ago with MS Office 2003 which I had uninstalled months before, but CC was still detecting it. What I did was open the winapp.ini file in the CC program folder to see what Registry keys CC was looking for to determine if Office 2003 was installed. I searched the Registry and sure enough, the keys were still there after the uninstall of Office 2003. I exported the keys first just in case it broke something and then deleted the keys. Rebooted the PC and started CC. CC no longer detected Office 2003.
  17. I still have an older version - 5.86 which works fine on my WinXP PCs, but honestly, I rarely use it. I just have no need to wipe my HDD.

    Slim versions

    A "U3" flash drive will say so on the packaging. More info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U3
  19. I also have Office 2007 installed and was wondering exactly what Office settings get reset by CC? In CC, I do have Office 2007 checked in the applications list and I have never noticed any of my customized settings get reset after running CC. So if some setting(s) is getting changed, I'd like to know what it is. Inquiring minds want to know. Thanks!
  20. I have never had CC remove or delete any system restore points unless I specifically told it to do so by going to Tools-->System Restore. Are the restore points listed in CC under Tools-->System Restore? The only time I had restore points deleted unintentionally, it was caused by a bug in my anti-virus, anti-spyware, firewall program and was not related to CC.
  21. After some additional research and first backing up the registry entries. I was able to eliminate CC detecting these uninstalled programs by deleting the registry entries. There were no ill effects. Happy camper. Without CC, I never would have known about the leftover remnants of these uninstalled programs. BTW, Google Earth does NOT use or need Google Installer so I was able to uninstall it which eliminated an unnecessary process running in the background.
  22. It showed nothing for mine. Just blank white space. Adobe Flash Player is checked under the Applications tab in my CCleaner, so it appears to be working.
  23. I don't think its CCleaner. You might find some helpful information here. I run into similar problems on some forum websites, depending on how they are constructed.
  24. Thanks. Your reply reminded me that I did forget to include a couple of pieces of information in my original post. Since Office 2007 is installed, CCleaner also correctly finds its registry entries: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common Also, I do have 2 Google related programs installed - Google Earth and Google Updater. From what I've read online, it appears that Google Earth uses Google Updater, so I don't think I can uninstall it. I agree that I don't want to edit the registry and really mess something up. I would export the branch first in case the worst happened.
