As you have problems with the protected recycle bin, the best way I have found is to remove it, the run ccleaner. Then reinstall if you feel you need it. Link to assist with the removal

As far I'm aware, when you reboot (ie shut down and restart) your PC ALL processes, not excluding explorer.exe are most definitely terminated and subsequently restarted...
I'll take your word for that Tony, but can assure you, that stopping and restarting explorer via task manager. is the only way to complete Ccleaners action. Its a queery thats come up several times.
-
Also worth metioning that after cleaning you have to stop explore.exe vial task manager, and then restart explore.exe.
PS. rebooting the PC does not achieve this

Norton is widely regarded as piece of crap.
It makes more sense than you most of the time

Have you tried deleting in Safe Mode

If it was added, I can see unexperienced users checking it and then coming here complaining about losing their restore points.
Let's reflect on the "Hotfix Removal" cleaner idea.
100% agree with you Tarun

Under windows Explorer try unchecking the OTHER MRU's box

I thought they were regular flat batteries that were using in for instance a digital wrist watch. Is it really possible that having the PC powered on keeps them charged?
Yes
-
I know of only one battery soldered to the motherboard
-
They are a cmos rechargable battery and are often flat when purchased. Therefore power up the pc and leave it on the battery will be charged after a few hours. Dont forget to check your Bios settings.
-
You have to let a new cmos battery charge up. Make sure your bios settings are correct specially the hard disk, boot sequence and so on
-
It also protects the bios settings. Flat cmos batt' can happen on old machines that have not been powered up for a long period. Leave the power on for a few hours and then reboot. You may get lucky. You may also have to reconfig bios settings (hard disk type etc) if battery ok. Maybe M'board
-
They are ms windows and norton hidden system files. I am not sure it is wise for Ccleaner to show these in the uninstall list
-
Cmos battery ??

When I was using spybot with NIS 2006 although without the teatimer it worked fine. However, I have seen several posts that mention Teatimer can cause some conflicts.

Thanks MrG
and Congratulations to Tarun. A well deserved lift to the exulted ranks

Your screen shot shows you have other explore MRU's checked. just uncheck this item. (mru = most recently used)

I was exploring the 'Tools' option of CCleaner and came across the item 'WebFldrs XP' on the list.
I'm tempted to uninstall it... but.. I cannot find it anywhere on my system (yes, I have 'show hidden files' enabled.)
I cannot find it on the standard 'Add/Remove programs' section of Windows XP either.
Anyone know what this is - and is it safe to remove?
Thanks
Part of the windows system and located in the system32 directory

Spybot - Symantec conflict
in Windows Security
Posted
What a pointless statement by Spybot. Surely, it is not uncommon for some programs to conflict. In fact you will often see warnings that haveing 2 or more resident shields may cause a problem. For Spybot to suggest adding NIS to its database for just spite is totally ridiculous.
PS. It would I think be better if the moderators of this forum opted out of the product bashing threads
