[How-to Squeeze every last drop for Privacy concerns?]

I'll try to explain this best I can. Back in Vista days, I had CCleaner setup such that it deleted/cleaned every drop of privacy except of course things like remembering passwords and settings for websites, like this one. There was a template someone made back then for Vista users.

 

Is their such a template for Windows 7 x64 users?

 

There are a lot of UNCHECKED BOXES and I'm terrified which to touch and which to stay away from.

 

I got some embarrassing things that a casual abuser could find and I'd like to keep the bad stuff for MY eyes only if you get my drift.

 

Thanks folks!

 

Praise God for our ability to create a problem and work ourselves out of it. <g>

[Why Not Seamonkey?]

I want to try seamokey but without ccleaner's ability to clean things up I really don't want to.

 

COULD Someone here make an entry for seamokey?

 

It's taking the place of mozilla so it's going to get popular really fast.

 

 

Please do this, thanks.

[Registry Cleaner finds things I WANT to keep?]

Everytime I run the Registry cleaning part of ccleaner it finds entries that DO exist and are being used by me. It also finds entries which appear to be some kind of temp file but there is no description of what the scanner found.

 

So, is there a way to tell it NOT to look for certain things OR should I go ahead and delete all the entries it suggest [saving the reg backup of course] and see how the computer works ??

 

thanks

[Seamonkey and CCleaner?]

Thanks for getting this seamonkey thing going. Hopefully, like under one month, people more and more will start using seamonkey and want it added to ccleaners' list.

 

thanks again

 

CCleaner already detects the following in SeaMonkey:

Internet History = history.dat

This will only clean the SeaMonkey Cache for the default profile (edit it if you wish to clean a profile name you've created), and it will be listed under Firefox/Mozilla (only tested on Windows XP):

This will only clean the SeaMonkey Cookies for the default profile (edit it if you wish to clean a profile name you've created), and it will be listed under Firefox/Mozilla (only tested on Windows XP):

 

Note: In order to clean SeaMonkey cookies you will have to manually input the random folder named created by the installer which the cookies.txt file is located in, this folder is named ?????.slt in the example below. This is an entry that you must complete yourself:

 

 

[Mozilla SeaMonkey Cookies]LangSecRef=3026Detect=HKCU\Software\mozilla.org\SeaMonkeyDefault=FalseFileKey1=%appdata%\Mozilla\Profiles\default\?????.slt|cookies.txt

That's all! You'll now have to wait for official cleaning support to be added by the CCleaner developer Mr.G, because it's gonna take some of the built-in detection/routine he uses to figure out random profile names, and to be able to find them without using a specific path!

 

I had forgotten how ancient the original Mozilla Suite looked when compared to Firefox, what a shocking reminder, and SeaMonkey looks just the same. I only wish they'd make Composer a separate application because I've always liked it, other than that SeaMonkey is off my computer forever.

 

[Seamonkey and CCleaner?]

seamonkey is not listed as one of the things that is cleaned with the current version. Will there ever be a version that would work to clean seamonkey entries?

 

I only ask because unless ccleaner does clean seamonkey I will just have to revert back to Mozilla which is fine but it has some things that tee me off at times.

 

Please someone let me, and others I suspect, know what the deal is??????

[How to PROTECT certain Directory/Files from Deletion?]

You should already have it. Here is the reference from winapp.ini from CCleaner v1.27.

[ZoneAlarm (Logs)]

LangSecRef=3022

Detect=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Zone Labs\ZoneAlarm

Default=True

FileKey1=%windir%\Internet Logs|ZALog*.*

 

Did you edit your winapp.ini at all? Did you download winapp2.ini? Have you done anything with either of these files?

 

 

OMG Thank You so much. I opened that file and inserted those lines in several different places until I appeared under the Internet list of apps on the CCLEANER. NOW it denies deletions of the logs which is what I want.

 

Is there a way to add entries for individual files/folders NOT already in the winapp.ini file?

I looked at the file and the entries seem straighforward, almost like an old autoexec.bat from the old skool days.

 

Anyone?

[How to PROTECT certain Directory/Files from Deletion?]

Hmm, funny - I have that option. What version of Ccleaner are you using?

 

 

1.27.260

 

Is there a way/method of editing the config files so that it ADDS the ZoneAlarm option?

 

I believe I am using the latest and greatest version.

 

Should I downgrade to one which offers me that Log file Protection Option?

 

 

thanks,

[How to PROTECT certain Directory/Files from Deletion?]

Oh, I missed that part.

 

Anyway, since it can't be done (easily) in XP Home, why not just uncheck ZoneAlarm in CCleaner's Applications tab?

 

 

Zone Alarm is not an OPTION to "un-check" in the CCLEANER's application tabs.

 

If it's there, then it's invisable or hidden in some way?

 

Please, anyone have an idea on this problem?

 

thanks,

[How to PROTECT certain Directory/Files from Deletion?]

That option only exists in XP Professional, and it's a bad idea anyway, since the programs that created the logs wouldn't be able to write to them anymore, just as CCleaner wouldn't be able to delete them, so that would only create new problems.

 

What is the name of the program?

 

 

zonealarm pro

[How to PROTECT certain Directory/Files from Deletion?]

Yes you can, but you need to make a change to the default behavior of Windows, disable Simple File Sharing. To do this go to "Start > Control Panel > Folder Options > View". Scroll down to the very bottom and uncheck "Use simple file sharing".

 

I Tried what you said. The "Use simple fire sharing" option is no where in the list.

 

Maybe I didn't mention: I am using winXP SP1

 

Any other ideas???

 

 

thanks,

[How to PROTECT certain Directory/Files from Deletion?]

I am sharing a folder over my LAN with another computer.

Will what you said disable that shared folder?

 

thanks

 

Yes you can, but you need to make a change to the default behavior of Windows, disable Simple File Sharing. To do this go to "Start > Control Panel > Folder Options > View". Scroll down to the very bottom and uncheck "Use simple file sharing".

 

Now right-click the folder/file you want to modify and select "Properties". Click on the "Security" tab and click the "Advanced" button. Select the name of the user you're using and click "Edit...". Check Deny for the Delete permission. If it's a folder also check Deny for the Delete Subfolders and Files permission.

 

That should make it so whenever CCleaner is run on that user it won't delete the files/folders you modified. Make sure you do this for every user that has access to the files/folders and might run CCleaner. Also keep in mind if you ever want to delete the modified files/folders you will need to revert the changes.

 

[How to PROTECT certain Directory/Files from Deletion?]

I want to PROTECT certain FOLDERS and FILES from being deleted when running CCLEANER.

 

I went to OPTIONS but when I selected a folder it had a warning telling me that ALL the files in the folder would be deleted?

 

So How do I protect certain folders/files from being deleted?

 

I want to be able to keep the LOGS certain programs make.

 

thanks,
