What about cleaning the ASP.NET Temporary Files folders? ASP.NET doesn't cleanup itself. In a recommendation I've read (i believe on MS KB) it's recommended to restart IIS - however I never restarted IIS for cleanup up these folders. I had the problem, that my provider did setup a quota for the folder or whatever - and my app stopped because of 'not enough disk space'. Also when developing, ASP.NET recompiles the app and sometimes gets binding exceptions (leading to false errors). Folders: "%WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files" "%WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files" "%WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files" "%WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Temporary ASP.NET Files" Note also, that .NET 4.5 is an in-place update and has the same folders and versions: http://www.west-wind.com/weblog/posts/2012/Mar/13/NET-45-is-an-inplace-replacement-for-NET-40

What about cleaning up the USN journal? http://technet.microsoft.com/de-de/library/cc788042%28v=ws.10%29.aspx I'll try that now

I'm talking about the Download folder. I had never issues cleaning that folder. In fact, I had an issue with WindowsUpdate and found some bad sectors using chkdsk. After chkdsk, i cleaned the downloads folder and everything worked (updated) fine again. Please try it out. A restricted user will not be prompted to run as administrator. The restricted user will be prompted to login as administrator. CCleaner is then executed in the administrator's account environment. That sounds like me This may also be a suggestion: To hide the Registry somewhere in Tools. I know many people using CCleaner (i'm from south of Germany), they simply click to do it all 'right'. Mostly they don't even know that their backups are stored in their Documents folder, do you believe they know what the Registry is?

Dear Piriform, i had the case that I wanted to do cleaning for a restricted user account. Windows asks for elevation, so CCleaner will be started in the Admin's user profile. Now, CCleaner does clean Admin's folder, but not the User's folder. May there be a DropDown to select User's accounts? Windows Vista and 7 have a SoftwareDistribution\Download folder, that i'm cleaning manually today. Will there be CCleaner support? You could stop and restart WindowsUpdate service, to do it nicely... Thanks for your cool tools!

Okay, for current releases is CCleaner not that 'useful', except of wiping and MFT resetting... Defraggler works very well! Interestingly it marks the offline pagefile.sys as 'special', fixed. I think because Speccy is initializing and loading fine, but stops on a 'read access ex' while searching for audio, it isn't too far away of being able to run (not 'support'). feature request: offline image mode for defraggler and ccleaner

Dear Piriform, i'm a big fan of your tools and recommend them as often I can. At this point i'd like to share my experiences: I'm using your tools on WinPE! Except for Speccy, that crashes when with a "read" exception when reading Audio information, Defraggler works fine, CCleaner doesn't make sense as there's no offline system selector. What I miss is, that I couldn't defrag pagefile.sys or System Restore from the offline system. As a last thing I'm noticing quite often, that some users of CCleaner run the Registry tool: Run, Backup and Gone without to know what they're doing. I could sleep a quite bit better when you could hide that tool into Tools section or whatever, where the default user doesn't look and click around. Greets from Germany
