  1. Wipe Free Space...wipes the free space. Everything marked as free on your hard drive will be overwritten with zeroes.

    It doesn't free up space, and doesn't improve performance at all. And it should never be run on a SSD (solid-state disk).

    The main point is to make sure your data will never be recoverable. If, say, you wanted to sell a drive, and that drive had sensitive information on it, deleting everything and then running WFS can be a good idea.

    However, it should not be run as a normal cleaning.

     

    Desktop Shortcut deletes the shortcuts that do not point to a valid file (e.g. after uninstalling a program, if the uninstaller was badly coded, a shortcut might remain on the desktop).

     

    No idea as to what User Assist History cleans, however. Sorry:(

     

     

    Thanks, and i found out that User Assist History cleans all the Used Programs and Apps from the Start Menu.

     

     

  2. Like

    Adobe Reader 9

    Windows Media Center

    Windows Live Programs, Movie Maker, Writer, Photo Gallery and Mail.

    As most people have this stuff, it would be nice to have it in CCleaner.

    Who agrees with me?

  3. By default, Windows does not allow a program to be run as a different user if the said user has no password.

    For example, if you want to run CCleaner for each of the users on a computer and some of the users haven't got a password, you'll have to switch users multiple times.

    However, there's a hidden parameter to allow that.

    Sadly, it's in Local Security Policies, which aren't available on Home editions of Windows:unsure:

     

    Start >> Run... >> secpol.msc

    Local Policies >> Security Options >> Double-click on Limit local account use of blank passwords to console logon only

    Chose Disabled and click OK.

     

    Now you can run any program as another user, regardless of whether they have a password or not! :D(of course, you'll have to enter the password of accounts who have one...)

    P.S.: Don't forget to read the text in the second tab of this setting's Properties dialog, it has some security implications. However, unless you do not trust people in your home, it should be fine.

     

     

    Thanks for this find, i have Windows 7 Professional, and this might just come in handy.

  4. If you can install XP you should its much better than Vista, if its XP Professional you should probably downgrade to it, your computer will feel like a upgrade but will look like a downgrade.

     

    I dont get why people get such trouble with Windows.Old folders when i upgraded Windows, i could delete Windows.Old by Right Clicking it and click Delete than emptying the Bin.

  5. I previously had the Microsoft Office 2010 Trial installed on my Computer (Running Windows 7 Professional) I un installed as i was about install Office 2007 (Full Version). But Office 2010 remains in the CCleaner list, i searched my Computer and there are no Office 2010 Files left on my Computer after un installation. I used CCleaner to clean my computer and then my Registry and cleaned/fixed everything. Still it remains.

    Restarted tried.

    Windows and Microsoft Programs are up to date.

    System is Up to Date.

    CCleaner is Up to date.

    Any help would be great.

  6. When i clear Google Cromes Cache for some reason Gmail and Youtube wont work properly. Its kinda like viewing it in Basic view when your not really. Theres a easy fix to it just by clearing Browsing History and Cache in Crome itself. But i would like this too be fixed in the APP itself.

     

    I installed Office 2010 Trial, and then uninstalled it as i was about to install Office 2007 Full Version. CCleaner still for some reason kept Office 2010 in its list, i have searched my Hole Computer for any Office 2010 Files but there are none, and i have re installed CCleaner but this doesn't work. And CCleaner is UP TO Date.

     

    So Please Fix these bugs.
