  1. Naris is talking about CCleaner itself, not the forums.

     

    There is no way to change the look of CCleaner at the moment. Besides, its only open for like two minutes at a time anyway.

  2. Hammer wants to be able to install the program silently, and be able to tell the installer if it should create the various shortcuts or not.

     

    I would suggest you PM Mr G and see if he can provide you with the correct switches (if there are any).

  3. I was thinking just making the progress bar show the % of the list completed. Like if there are 100 entries checked, then after every entry the % goes up by one.

    But then if there is a lot to delete in one entry then it is prone to appearing as a freeze up.

     

    So I have decided to suggest scrapping the progress bar, in favor of some sort of status indicator (rotating timer, spinning wheel, blinking dots) and a text field showing % of the list completed.

  4. The need for the program to place a file in \system32\Drivers\

    does not make it portable when run from a cd

    then you just get an error message stating that "you do not have admin rights" and then it closes

    why can't you guys make programs that have all the files needed in the same folder or selfcontained in the exe?

     

    First: You can't defrag a drive without admin rights, with ANY defragmenter. (AFAIK)

    Second: All of their programs are in the one folder. (Except Recuva, there is no option to store settings in an ini.)

    Third: Sorry to have to say this. If you don't like the way Piriform sets up their programs then don't use them, or program your own.

  5. First, Be patient. If you really wanted to talk to TM you should have PM'd him.

     

    Second, if you look at the WinApp2 entry:

     

    [*uTorrent]LangSecRef=3022DetectFile=%ProgramFiles%\uTorrent\uTorrent.exeDefault=TrueFileKey1=%ProgramFiles%\uTorrent|*.dmp

    You will notice that it only is meant to clean .dmp files, which I assume are crash files. Meaning they are only there if/when uTorrent crashes.

  6. I have a few suggestions to try, if you have not tried them yet.

     

    - In Disk Management click on the drive and go to 'Change Drive Letter and Paths' and remove then add the same drive letter (F).

    - If that does not work, try the above with a different drive letter.

    - If neither works try removing the letter->restart->reassigning a letter.

     

    If I think of any other possible solutions I'll post.

  7. Windows should recreate it upon reboot.

     

    If it does not come back then maybe it got turned off.

    Try going to Control Panel

    Then click on the 'System' icon

    Go to the 'Advanced' tab

    Under the 'Performance' section click 'Settings'

    Go the 'Advanced' tab

    Under the 'Virtual Memory' section click 'Change'

    Select your system drive (Usually C:)

    Under 'Paging file size for selected drive' section click 'System managed size'

    Click the 'Set' button

    Reboot

     

    That should fix it. B)

  8. On gaming machines fragmentation can cause problems with large games.

     

    An example is with GTA: San Andreas.

    It's main models file is called gta3.img, at installation it is about 900mb, but if you are like many people you want to mod the game and swap out cars and other items to make the game more visually pleasing. When you swap out a vehicle the chances are that it is going to be bigger than the one you replace, so if there is no room directly after the gta3.img file on the disk it becomes fragmented.

    Over time and many more mods, the file gets spread across the entire disk. This causes slower loading times (depending on the computer) and sometimes models get mixed around (I once saw a semi model being used as a boat.) This causes the game to crash, or missions to become impossible to beat (an airport baggage cart can't be used as a helicopter, easily.)

     

    Due to these unfortunate (but funny) happenings, I regularly defragment all my machines, just in case.

  9. Exploring the Spybot Forums returned this:

    First, this is not really a public beta; it is a version that's not secret, but was intended for some pre-beta-release tests by a few people. I guess someone just tried a few likely filenames on the server when the beta was announced

    .....

    Regarding the changes, they are, as guessed, not to be found in the UI really

    A real list will be available with the real public beta then...

    Well, sinee someone (Neowin) already found out the link where the current version is, why not?

     

    spybotsd15.exe

  10. It seems you have a few choices:

     

    1: Reformat and Reinstall, as you said. (Large amount of time wasted, Chance of success 100%)

     

    2: Try a repair installation, it should ask you for the disk. (Also, big time waster, Chance of success 50%)

     

    3: Insert disk 2 in your cd drive, and run this command:

     

    rundll32 setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection Freestyle 128 medctroc.inf

    (Chance of success 50%, may cause problems.)

     

    4: Look through the 'Add/Remove Windows Componets' menu (Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > Left Side) and try to find some sort of 'Reinstall Media Center' option. (Fastest, Chance of success 100%, if the option exists)

     

    My suggestion, would be to try 4. If that doesn't work either reinstall or wait for more choices.

  11. At the moment you can't have it automatically clean other accounts, but I *think* it is a planned feature.

     

    If you just install the upgrade over the old version it *should* keep all your settings and custom folders.
